HON. NATHANIEL b. SMITHERS.
Who can tell what q day shall bring
forth! Last week we chronicled the
death of Joseph Pyle who left behind
him record Of good deeds well done.
This week it is of one Of Middletown's
most worthy citizens that we are called
first to pay the tribute Of respect due a
we'll spent Christian life; the praises
Of Henry Clayton are upon the lips of
all who knew him. And now the
people Of the State are called to mourn
one Of hel most distinguished citizens,
the Hon. Nathaniel Barrett Smithers
who died at his home in Dover early
Thursday morning. He was born in
Dover, October 6th, 1918, where he
spent his boyhood days, graduated at
Lafayette College in 1886 and was ad-
mitted to the Dover bar in 1S4O. He
was a student of the law and has been
authority on legal questions for years.
Not only were his mental attainments
Of high order but be stood for moral
as well as legal right and justice. Not
until a few months since did he unite
with the church, a step that marked
the noble mind, since bis life to all
outward appearances was blameless.
It was of the influence of his example
that he thought, and he desired that It
should be recorded to the strengthing
of the church.
Mr.. Smithers politically was Wing
and was leader in the organization OF
the Republican Party in this State In
1860. He was Secretary OF. State un-
der Governor Cannon in 1868, and
again under Governor Marvil last
year. He was elected to Congress in
1864 and served his party on the Nat
ional Com mittee from 1860 to 1868,
and was delegate to three National
Conventions. While Mr.. Smithers
believed in the principles of the Re-
publican Party he was Conscientious in
the Interpretation of those principles
and believed in independence in action.
Party expediency did not control him.
In this respect men Of all parties may
we'll study and initiate his conduct.
Mr.. Smithers was good citizen. He
took an active interest in the advance
ment of his town, and especially Of the
public schools, of which he has been
a commissioner for more than score of
years. The school children of Dover
owe much to Mr.. Smithers. He has
gone and younger men must take his
place. They can do nothing better
than to study the lessons of his life
and to emulate his virtues.

the rich lands OF Wilson creek on
the south, is the infant town oi
Provence-through which runs a
thoroughfare from the most pro-
ductive prairies and river-bottoms OF
the Chickasaw nation to Ardmore
and affords more travel than any
other road in the fve nations. With
these advantages and other con
veniSnces; such as progressive mer-
chants and mechanics, good churches,
a well attended school etc, Provence
is destined TO be a town OF more
than ordinary proportions
Our town bears the name OF one Of
our most prominent and highly
esteemed citizens, Mr.. Geo. Provence,
who is successfully engaged in the
mill and gin business.
Our merchants, Jas. Arnold and
Mr.. Logsden, sell goods fully as low
as the retail prices of Ardmore.
