Meeting of Teachers.
The recent session of the (Jhiekasaw
Teautiers' association at Wynnewood,
which adjourned Saturday evening af-
ter being in progress for two days, was
in every respect a success.
The appreciation of the ideal weather
of hoth Friday and Saturday was mani-
fested by the lar^e attendance at the
meetings, by both the teachers, and
the citizens of Wynnewood
The royal manner in which Supt.
Johnson, his high school committees,
an ! the people of Wynnewood, enter-
tained the visitors, made each one glad
that, especially for the time being, he
was connected with the schools of the
Chickasaw nation.
Owing to the absence of some c/f the
teachers whose names appeared on the
program, some substitutions were made
fjjr rendering the work as was outlined
for Friday evening's exercises consisted
principally of an elecutionarv display,
connected with which and deserving
especial mention was Mrs. Johnson,
Wife of Supt. Johnson.
On Saturday morning Supt. Hendrix
of Ardmore read an able paper on "Lit-
erature In Our Schools." Mr. Hen-
drix stressed the importance of the
carefullness of the instructor in putting
into the hands of High School pupils
such selection as "Evangeline, The
Cour'.sbip Of Miles Standish, and En-
och Alden." Following Mr. Hendrix
was a paper by Mr. Bagwell of Purcell.
At the business fession of the Asso-
ciation, Saturday afternoon the follow-
ing officers were elected for the next
term:
J. R. Hendrix, of Ardmore, president
J. M, Simpson, first vice president;
! Mrs. Spettler, of Wynnewood, second
i vice president, Miss Dosier, of Purcell,
secretary; Mr. Clemens, of Davis, treas-
! urer. An invitation to meet at Davis
in February was accepted.
Saturday evening's program of corrsi
aroused a considerable amount of en-
thusiasm in as much as it consisted
j principally of the recitations by the
contestants. A spirit of perfeat con-
j geniability and friendly feeling charac-
terized the procedure. The contesting
towns represented were Ardmore, Da-
vis, Wynnewood and Purcell. The
judges selected were as follows: Pres.
Whetter, of HargroveCollege, Mr. Crey-
er, of Sulphur Springs, Mr. Wynne, of
Temple, Tex., Mr. Floyd of Center and
Prof. Simpson of Washington, D. C.
The successful contestants were Mas-
ter Earle Johnson of Wynnewood aud
Miss NoraWantland of Purcell.
Found Dead.
G. A. Jackson, Tuesday, informed
the Leader of the death of Ed. Writrht
(colored) last Monday rooming under
peculiar circumstances. It seems that
Mr Wright left his home, about ten
miles south-east of Lexington, Monday
morning between 3 and 4 o'clock to iro
on a matter of business to a place sev-
eral miles distant, and was driving a
team to a farm wagon. W ben near the
Hard Scrabble school house he turned
out of the road into the brush and un-
hitched his team ami rested awhile;
then hitched up again again and drove
off the road farther, where he laid down
and where he was found Monday even-
ing, lying on his back and dead.
He was found Monday evening by a
Mr. Canady, who lives on theJohn Mc-
Intosh place, 7 iniles east of Lexington,
who notified the dead man's friends and
relatives, who had his remains remov-
ed home and prepared for burial, and
the justice of the peace of tlat neigh-
borhood notified so that an inquest
could be held. Ed. Wright was a mar-
ried man, 45 years old. and leaves a
large family. It is supposed that while
driving along he took a congestive chill
and left the road to rest until lie had
recovered, and that he died while in
that condition. His personal effects
were not disturbed and there is no sus-
picion of foul play.
Worms take refuse in small intes-
ine. W here they can easily multiply.

stroy these parasites. The verdict of
the people tells plainly how well it
has succeeded. Price, 25 cents.

The County Convention.
At the convention held in Norman
! Monday for the purpose of electing
j delegates to represent Cleveland
j county at the Statehood Convention
j to be held at South McAlester Dec.
1 Oth, the followiug delegates were

Hess, Jno. Allen, W. T. James, C.
Coombs, J. D. Lydick, A. R. John-
son, Alex Onscein, 0. M. Stevens and
C. W. Brewer.
Many persons have had the exper-
iance of Mr. l'eter Sherman, of North
Stratford. N, H, who says, '-lor
j years I have sulfered torture from
chronic indigeston, but Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure made a well man of me."
It digests what you eat and is a cer-
tain cure for dyspepsia and every form
of stomach trouble. 11 gives relief at
once even in the worst cases, aud can't
help but do you good. E, M. Aber-
nathv.
