Death Of Major f. S. Wood.

The sad intelligence reached here
Thursday morning that the messen-
ger Of death had taken from earth
and friends man who, by his kind
disposition and pleasant manners, had
en'leared himself to the citizens OF
Dickinson. Major Wood left here on
Wednesday, January 7th for his old
home, Seialia Mo-, where he intend-
ed to purchase horses for shipment
here early in the spring. and the tele-
gram from that place announcing his
sudden death on Tuesday, from q con-
gestive chill, brought SORROW to his
family and the citizens generally.
Major Wood WAS born and raised at
Sedalia where he married and re-
sided until his removal here about
three months ago. He was about
forty-three years of age and had, by
strict attention to business, accumu-
lated some wealth which he intended
to invest in stock. His death took
place at the residence of his brother
in-law, Mr.. o. Harris and the remains
were buried Thursday. A wife and
seven children are left to mourn their
sudden loss and have the sympathy
OF the entire community in the sad
bereavement which has oveitaken
them. His son, o. II. Wood, left on
the train Thursday for Missouri.
Our citizens will he pleased to learn
that the family will probably remain
here. Had Major Wood lived he
would have soon been in the front
rank as a leading business man and
his death is an irreparable loss to
the community.

The Philadelphia Times has this to
say of the country newspaper: ''.rhe
country newspaper is the most useful
and least compensated of all the
agencies which stamp the impress of
progress upon villages and inland
cities. Without the aid of local
newspapers local towns are, as rule,
thriftless and dead. 1t is common
for small great men to speak with
contempt of the local newspapers, but
the village newspaper makes more
great men out of less material-more
brick without straw-than any other
factor in politics. and is the only lad.
der on which men climb to local dis.
tinction as the beginning of wide,
fame. The advent of the local news
paper has always dated the increased
thrift of community. The local
newspaper is the life of the locality
and the measure of its support. as a
rule, measures the advancement of
the people. Not only subscribe but
pay for yonr local newspapers. They

,nd these people certainly do know locality where they can procure pure gold and silver in its native state for people that lived or travelled through this country few years ago very frequently saw natives wearing upon their necks and arms heavy, massive ornaments rudely beaten from solid nuggets of pure gold. No white man has ever been able to ascertain the locality from whence those dusky ! children of Montezuma procured such quantities of treasure. Large quanti- ties of these gold nuggets found their way into the hands of New Mexico Indians, who were always in commu- nication with the northern Arizona tribes, and when questioned Tn regard to where they procured them they pointed to the west, and that was all that could ever be got out of them.

DEATH OF r. Is. BRANNEN.

On Monday last the painful news came to Flagstaff, by telegraph, an nouncins the death ot P. B. Brannen, the senior member of the large mer- cantile firm of P. E. Brannen & Co.,, of Flagstaff. A day or two previous Dr. Brannen was notified to come immediately to Beaver Head, where the deceased was in charge of the store belonging to the firm, and the Doctor hastened to the bedside of his uncle, but only to partially relieve the suferiags of the dying, for he was past all human aid-the death palor was on his brow. On Sunday morning he breathed his last, and the remains arrived in Prescott on Mor- day, and the funeral was held in the latter place on Tuesday, under the solemn rites of the Catholic church. The deceased was native of Can. ada, had been a resident of Prescott since 1874, carrying on the mercan- tile business, and was fOrty-three years of age at the time of his death. His nephews, Dr. D. ]. Brannen and P. J. Brannen. of Flagstaff, accom- panied the remains from Beaver Head to Prescott. He had been prostrated from illness but a few days, during which time he suffered intensely with brain fever.
 Mir. Brannen was man respected and beloved by all. The main branch of the mercantile business of the firm is at Flagstaff, which store is managed by r. J. Brannen. The deceased en. joyed wide acquaintance in north. ern Arizona, and his death will be re- ceived with sympathetic sorrow. What changes are to be made Tn the Brannen house, on account of the death of the senior partner, are un. known to us at present.

The old Romans stole their wives, and the early Virginians paid for theirs in tobacco. You can get a partner for the evening and a necktie made by her own fair hands, made from cloth similar to the dress she wears, glass of lemonade apiece, and a mint of enjoyment, all for a half-cent per pound for your partners weight.

That Baby Mouniaineer.

We published, last week. an item that baby was born to MT. aud Mrs John H. Hise, while enroute from Payson to Flagstaff. So much of the item was correct. We stated that Mrs. Hise was coming this way with the pack train unaccompanied by any one except the packer. In this we were mistaken. MT. and Mrs. Hise drove over from Payson with a buck board together, the husband and wife belng confident they could reach Flagstaff and be near physician or assistance before the expected arrival of the baby. When about four miles this side of the potato ranch the mules attached to the blackboard took fright and ran away, which excite ment hastened Mrs. HiSe's sickness, and they were compelled to stop on the road. There were with the party, Mrs. Thistle, MT. Adams, the head packer, and MT. Fleming. Mrs. Hise had every care and attention from her husband and those around her, and there were seven in the par ty who conveyed her back to the ranch. So all the romance is gone from the circumstance, in reference to her being alone with the packer when the birth appeared.
