Death of Dr. Trent. We are sorry to announce, in the first issue of our paper, the sad death ofDr. R. p.

of Fort Gibson. His death resulted from a gun-shot wound, the -gun being accidently discharged by his 'own hand. On last Wednesday the Doctor was returning from a professional trip tp the country and on his road home stopjied at the residence of R. M. Walker.

While there he learned that Wm. Fercival was down below his (Percival's) orchard and had a shot gun and being fearful least he should injure some one of his own family, as he was very much under the influence of liquor, the Doctor concluded to go up and see him as he could do more with him than anyone else. Dr. Trent found Mr. Percival and secured the gun.

He then told I'ercival that he was going to break his gun, thinking that he would keep him from doing any one harm, and turning to the fence he broke thp stock first and then in striking the second time the left barreli was discharged, entering his right thigh. He was taken home and the best of medical help secured. He died at 2:15 a. Monday last. Richard Owen Trent was born in Eastburg, and lived there until the close of the war.

He then moved to the Cherokee Nation. He was an able physician and had many friends throughout the Indian Territory, all of whom are pained tp hear of his sad and unexpected Phoettix.

Mrs. Watts, wife of Alfred J. aged 39 years. Sister Watts Was born in Giles April 12, 1858. Her maiden name Was Bailey.

She professed religion early in her teens. She joined the.M. E. Church South 1885, and was to the day of her death a consistent meek and lowly follower of Jesiis. The funeral services were conducted at the school house at Cottonwood.

The sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev. L. Byrd, from the text, "'Btit some man will say how are the dead raised up, and with body do they Cor. 15th chap, and 35th. The sermon was a fair and forcible exposition of the doctrine of the resurrection.

The attendance was very large, and all Went from the school house to the cemetery despite the inclemencv of the weather. Sister Watts, or Susie as she was familiarly called, had a large circle of acquaintance by whorn she was greatly beloved. She was an earnest worker for the Master in the church, the Sabbath school and around the hearthstone at home. Truly, 'tis a sad bereavement, but our loss is gain to her. She has passed from a' I'ife df pam and sorrow to one of everlasfilig 'sunshine.

She died in full triumph of a living faith. Her last words were of holy confidence. A large circle of mourning friends all tender their condolence to the bereaved husband and friends, hoping that in the last day this dispensation of providence shall be revealed, fraught with greatglory. The pastor was assisted by the pastor of Sequoyah circuit of thie Methodist Protestant church, W. S.

The railroad bridge across Grand river at this Will be finished in a few days. A large congregation attended services at the Methodist church last Sunday. The pastor preached to chin-ch members in the morning and sinners' at night. I do think I overstate the- case when I say that 200,000 saloons In this country have been instrumental in destroying more human life in the last five years than the 2,000,000 of armed men during the four years of the rebellion. There is an irresistible conflict upon us.

This nation cannot endure half drunk and half sober, any more than it could endure half slave and 'half Ex-Senator Windom. RESOLUTIONS BY COTTONWOOD SUNDAY SCHOOL. M. E. Church South, Indian Missionary memory of 3ister Susan Watts, tjie beloved wife of Bro.

J. CORBUT'S New Shoe Stope To Buy the WELLINGTON HO (Formerly the Laslle House.) i The Rev. John R. PaxtOji, an emmcnt New York divine, places on record the assertion that a "fanatic loose in any community is a worse pest than a loose mad dog or an epidemic of typhus fever. The mad dog can be speedily killed, the fever can be quarantined, but who can quarantine a fanatic who is possessed with the idea that all the world is wrong and he was born to set it right," A Woman's Discovery.

'Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too by a lady in this county. Disease fasted its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She bought of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept ail night and with one bottle has been miraculously cured.
