1898, was the son of James Kendall
and Ann BanfieId Savage. He was
twenty-five years old when the civil
war broke out, and following the i'm
pulse of his brave and generous spirit,
at once enlisted in the Confederate
army. Having cast his lot in the
cause, so dear to his heart, he endured
the hardship Of camp-life without a
murmur. He was with Jackson in the
memorable campaign, in the Valley
of Virginia, was taken prisoner near
the close of the struggle and released
on parole at the close of the war. He
returned home soon after, broken in
health and spirits, and though he
never recovered from the effects of
fever contracted in the trenches and
the exposure Of those terrible years,
he proved himself the same PATIENT
generous, kind-hearted friend and
brother of earlier days. He never
married, but was not wanting in de-
votion to mother and sisters He was

cause of his beloved country.

James e. Crockett. son of Capt. A..
j. Crockett, was born March 265h,
1862, and died October 25th, 1893;
leaving a wife with three helpless
children, an aged father, four brothers
and three sisters to mourn their loss.
His was kind and generous nature,
forgetful of self. He strove to make
comfortable, those committed to his
care, and no case of need or suffering
was passed unnoticed by him, il il
was possible for him to render any
assistance; often giving perhaps be
yond his ability. Being one of the
younger children of large family,
he was a great favorite with the
others. and though they may have
differed in opinions, they all loved
him and he knew it. While the famil,

NAMED near the old home where
dwelt his father and two sisters, and
with them his place can never be

had q friend who was glad to do any
thing in his power for them. Els
father had no doubt expected that be
would be the comfort and stay Of his
declining years. How they miss his
welcome footsteps and loving words
and the little kindly deeds that make
the associations OF life so ineXpressi-
oily sweet. He was agreeable with all
who came in contact with him and
man, with whom he had been connec-
ted in business for several years, said
while standing beside his liteless body
that they had never had a cross
word The circumstances OF his death
were most distressing, taken out OF
life without moments warning.
Our hearts are crushed with grief
for great sorrow has fallen on us;
but even in this sore trial, we know
that God makes no mistakes, and we
pray that in his own good time that
he will show us that all things hap
pen for the best, and that this great
stroke that now seems SO heavy, was
laid OIL in love and not in anger. He
professed religion about two yearsago
and Joined the NJ. e. Church, south,
of which he was a member at the
time OF his death. While it was not
the writer's privilege to know his
religious experience, yet knowing him
as we did from his babyhood, we feel
that we can trust him in the hands OF a
kind Heavenly Father, who is TOO

heaven.

w. e. T. u.

Young man, beware of the begin
nings of intemperance. To take the
first glass is to cross the Rubicon; you
are at once in the land of the enemy,
and are able to escape ruin only by a
brave contest. To sit still is death,
for the foe is on your track, and will
follow you relentlessly. Do not trust
to your own ability to resist. Bear
In mind and be warned by the num-
bers who have fallen, in the same
way, before you No one of them in
tended to become drunkards; no one
regarded himself as weak enough to
yield to the wiles and enticements Of
the mocker. The cup was quaffed
for once only. to meet an unusual
strain, on the physical energies, or it
may be. to avoid appearing SO rude
as to disregard the customs of polite
society. That was all; he was per-
fectly free, and had no purpose to go
any further. Alasl that first glass had
in it the poison of the asp. Itset the
brain on fire and paralyzed the moral
nature. The way to the deepest in
diligence had been opened; the prog
ress therein had been made easy.
The first step. the opening of the
gate, rendered the deluge of evil pos
sible and easy. In the presence of
such deep pit into which SO many
of the brave and bold as well as of
the weak and kind have fallen
to irretrievable ruin, do not trust
in your own strength. Do not ven
ture to tamper with the danger. Dc
not attempt to show your courage by
contrasting with foe already victo-
rious on 80 many battle fields. To
avoid such a temptation by refusing
to take the first glass,is true courage,
Young man save yourself while you
can. Your back is in the vicinity Of
a maelstorm; you have no time to
Jose, your over-confidence in your
own strength may prove source Of
danger by enticing you into the
snare. Ill. +. N.

Dr. r. Julea Trader.

DR.. E. Jules Trader, brother of Miss
W. Louise Trader, of Oak Hall, this
county, and nephew of the late DR..
w. s. Horsey, died of apopolexy while
visiting in Illinois, December 23d, 1893.
He was a graduate of the University
of Maryland and after spending some
time at the Bellevue Hospital N. T.,
went to Texas to practice his pro-
fession. When Oklahoma Territory
was opened in 1889 he left for that
land of promise and located at Okla
homa city, where he was buried De-
cember 9Sth, after funeral services
conducted by Bishop Francis Key
Brooke, of the Episcopal Church. He
leaves wife and daughter, who
was attending the Latin School in
Baltimore at the time of his death.
A sister. Miss M. Louise Trader, of
Accomac, and two brothers, Mr.. John
A. e. Trader and DR.. Charles W.
Trader, both of Oklahoma Territory,
also survive him. The following
notice of his death, showing the es-
TEEN in which he was held in his
adopted home, appears in alate issue
of the Daily Oklahoman:
In the death of Doctor E. Jules
Trader, which occurred Dec. 90, Ok
lahoma lost one of her most valued
citizens. He has been closely identi-
fed with the affairs of this territory
since its early history, and no one has
felt greater interest in her growth
and welfare than did he. His energy,
integrity and honesty made him very
successful.
He was a physician of superior
ability, and his paper read before the
last Medical association at this place
will be long remembered by that
body. His rare intellect, his quick
and correct conception of important
events, made him q very interesting
man; and those who were SO fortu-
nate as to have been guests at bis
home could not have failed to appre-
ciate the true hospitality he exercised
There are many beside his family
who will miss him. and mourn his
death. He was sagacious politician
and in the councils of the democratic
party no man stood higher than did
