The original idea was accepted and recommended by the Grand Council at Okmulgee for public benefit. And in the hands of Foremen, Severs and Bennett, four successive and successful Presidents, for fourteen years the Fair has attracted people of the land with visitors from States to the International Pavilion enclosed 0:1 the prairie, near the city of Muskogee in a charming landscape, to enliven and fascinate the multitude of the Fair Grounds covered with wagons, booths and tents, has often drawn music from the Ozark mountains, eloquence from the halls of Congress and novelty from wild Indian plains, beyond the hills of Oklahoma. The beautiful work of women, the rich productions and fine stock of farmers, refieoting rare merit, do praise the free efforts and noble teriu'ise, of fifty stockholders and mark the improvement of Indian Nations. The public mind is satisfied with premiums paid and lessons taught. But we are bound to certain men of the Sooiety by note for lumber and bill of inoidentalB to, keep up the We can be freed from debts by consent "of stockholders present, or proxy at Muskogee July 9 1889.

In youth he IQQJCS forth into the world sees all the poBflibilitiesof success and the easy and smooth of life, bordered with flowers of rarest tint and most delicate His anticipation of the future is a combination df succcsseB in every department of life. All is sun- flhina and gentle IhpwerB. But above all a happy home surrounded by those he loves and peivaded by peace and harmony. How brighf even the thoughts of such a future make his life.

Though difficulties may now surround him on every side and appear almost unsur- mountable, yet by this hope of the future he makes a stronger and more successful effort to subdue them, then another and another until finally he has conquered the last and greatest. So stimulated is he by tjiiese victories that he is prepared to successfully meet and conquer much more difficult ones. In manhood when every effort is made in behalf of his family or those dependant upon him, he labors with untiring energy, hoping somf time in the future to have'accumulated sufficient wealth to enable him to retire to a life of rest and quietude. But alas! When just upon the eve of realizing his hope, reverses come, and with death staring him in the face, he goes home almost crushed with the thought that a countenance and eyes But suddenly the clouds pass from over the sun and Us rays fall with greater radiance than ever.

All tlong through life he has been 8. -eking earthly pleasure, every energy has been exevted in the attempt to obtain it, but all in vain. Finally, having been so often disap- I)ointed, he abandons the hope of earthly good, and is driven to seek pleasure at its true source. How is this tone of woman? In girlhood seeking all the brightness and beauty of life, she anticipates the future as a spring morning, when the air is laden with the songs of birds and the perfume of flowers. In her ideal future all are thbrnless roses.

But can she stand alone? In infancy wc see "her protected by her parents, in girlhood leaning on brother, in womanhood trusting ip her husband, but l.when the days of desolation come, when trials and responsibilities press upon her, she still stands supported by the unseen arm. All along from the flower to the perfect fruit, nights of blighting frosts she is kept by the protecting arm and developed into full perfection in the sunshine of the smiles of him who hath said, "My peace I give to you."

Saturday morning he plead guilty to the charge and on account of extenuating circumstances was given tlie very light sentence of fifteen dollars tine. On Thursday evening last Kobt. word from Thos. Alexander that a party of several men had stolen a large number of horses on the border of the Chickasaw and were making for Arkansas with their booty. The horses mostly belonged to Mr.

Alexander, who is a deputy marshal, and the theives divided the drove and sent one part past Muskogee, and the other went towards Red Fork. Mr. Marshal immediately set out with a party of men and captured one of the men and twenty three head of horses about two miles from the Verdigris river. Two of the men got away but the other was brought in and sent to Whichita to be tried. Mr.

Marshal claimed one hundred dollars reward for the capture of the horses which Alexander refused and the horses were finally given up without any reward. The other parties are still per- sued by Alexander's father. Some one is passing counterfeit money in for bad dimes. Marshal Needles left for Oklahoma Sunday night, for a short visit and has since returned. The roll of attorneys has now increased to seventy eight.

B. J. Brown was bound over before Commissioner Nelson on Saturday charged with assault with an abandoned disposition on things in general. He readily gave bond for his appearance at the September term of court. The wife of Chief deputy Genung came in on.Wednesday night.

Deputy Marshal Cooper is reported quite sick at his home in 111. Last Saturday Marshal Needles was served with a writ Of Habeas corpus from Ft. Smith directing him to bring Chas. Landriim before Judge Parker and show cause for his imprisonment It is claimed that the information on which he Was convicted is not copd as it does not charge the Jurisdiction of the case Monday, Judgement Was taken by default in the sum of against J. M.

Stone et al, and oh Tuesday judgement was rendered in the same manner in the sum of 117.100, against A. and J. Mills. These were the two largest case on docket. ne money for this fiscal year being exhausted the court discharged the on Monday and will sit for the hearing of legal questions for several days yet.

From necessity all cases ki which issues are made up will go over to September term. Look for the full text of the most important decission ever rendered by this court or that will be soon. It is able, masterly and elaborate and not only gives cogent reasons for the view taken but cites numerous undisputable authorities in its support. The real "Indian" and the debt paying white men will conceed it to be a just decision. It calls forth praise from its strongest opposers.

The question of limitations was set up by Col. Cravens, in an answer on Thursday but upon demurrer by Ralls and Crawford, the deimurrer was sustained and the court held that there were no limitations. This means that a man can not be barred of a remedy which he never possessed. The Judge also put proper construction on the phrase "Indian blood only," holding it to mean those persons having any degree of Indian blood and not one who has married into the nation or "full bloods' only. The Attorneys are thinning out and going home now that no cases can be tried.

Rev. W. M. Davis preached aai excellent sermon at the Methodist Church last Sunday evening. Our local brethren could accomplish a vast amount of good if these eec- vioes were properly utilized.

Rev. A. Wagnon and wife, of Lehigh, went to Denison last Tuesday morning and returned the day. Bro. W.

is doing a good at Lehigh and At Lehigh he has a church enterprise on hands which in nearly completedt- but when finished there will be a $400 debt hanging over it. Brethren of the Territory, let ur come to- Bro. "Wagnon's relief. If we faii to pay for the church our interests at Lehigh will suffer irreparably- Those who know the situation at Lehigh realize the necessity of outside help in order to pay off the ia- debtedness. Bro.

Keener reports, a glorioire meeting atKiowa: LastSaturday and Sunday was the Third Quarteriy meeting for Kiowa circuit. Bro. X. T. Hall, the P.

has been preaching full salvatipli and the dear is blessing his labors. Why is it that men who profess to be Chrig- tians and some who stand upon walls of Zion as watchmen are opposed to the doctrine of holinesB? Nothing is more clearly taught im the word of God than the doctrine of holiness and the privilege of believers enjoying the blessed experience in their own hearts. A masi admitted to us not long since that; the Bible taught it but God didn't expect us to do what he told us and intimated that God would not keefr his promises. Thank God we have the pure word of the Lord on the subject and don't have to take it second hand. lejt us livm holiness and preach holiness.
