Another Old Landmark Gone.

Mr. David McRee, one of the most
honored and respected citizens of Lin-
coin county, died at his home at Casey
vile last Friday after short attack of
grippe, having reached the ripe old age
of 70 years. For several years he had
been in declining health, and hence
fell an easy victim to the acute disease
that has swept so many old persons in
to the grave. Mr.. McRee had long
been faithful and consistent member
of the Methodist church, and no man
in the community in which he lived
ever commanded more fully the conf
dence, honor and respect of all his
neighbors. To his grief stricken life
companion who survives him, and chill
dren and grand children he leaves that
richest of all legacies-the record of a
useful, well-spent life and a spotless
character.
His funeral took place at Bethel
Church Sunday, and his remains were
followed to their final resting place by
large concourse of relatives, neigh
bors and friends.

DIR. johnson Misquoted.

DR.. johnson informed LEADER re-
| porter yesterday that little Isaac
Scherck and Bella Green had well de
fined cases of diphtheria, and that little
George Meyers died with it. The two
former are now getting we'll and no
new cases are eported.-MissiSSip
Leader, Dec. II, 1898.
DR.. johnson, who was out Of town
when the above paragraph was first
published, and did not have his atten-
ton directed to it until last week, re-
quests us to say The LEADER misquot-
ed him, so far as the statement touch
ing the little Meyers child was con-
cerned. At the time mentioned DIR
johnson and the editor of The LEAD
Err had casual conversation on the
subject of diphtheria and membran-
Gus Group, during which he stated that
little Geo. Meyers died with the latter
disease, but in further conversation,
said that the medical authorities diff
fered as the identity of the two diseas-
es, some holding that they were iden-
teal, while others contended that they
were distinct diseases, the majority,
however, holding that they are equally
contagious.
In this way we were impressed,
though enormously it seems, that DR..
johnson expressed concurrence in the
