Mr. Henry was resident of Brookha-

voraoly remembered by our people who

seen continuous service of fourteen
years IN the Auditors office, a longer

eierk under the administration of the
iamehted Gwin, and until forced to re-
eieh last fall on account of a long and
desperate illness, had held the position
vi deputy auditor for nearly three
years under Col. Holder. He is thor
oushiy familiar with every detail of the

" capable and trustworthy man could

subordinate positions he has filled dur

THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

The County Democratic Convention
meets next Saturday, 10th. The es-
sential and important work OF the Con-
vention will be to appoint delegates to
the State Convention which meets next
Wednesday, and elect new county
executive committee to serve for the
ensuing four years. The people, in
the July primaries, expressed their
choice for candidates for three State
offices, to-wit: Longino for Governor,
Trotter for Attorney General and May
for Railroad Commissioner and it is
to be presumed that the selection and
instruction of delegates to Jackson
will be made with special reference to
the interests of these candidates and
thecarrying out of the peoples will
concerning them, as already expressed.
The LEADER does not believe it would
he wise policy to handicap the dele
gates with instructions for any other
candidates.

strange Suicide of a COlored Girl.

Estella Peyton, daughter Of Marion
Peyton, a well-to-do colOred man living
two and half miles south of this place,
committed suicide last Wednesday, the
I'd inst, by shooting herself through
the body with a pistol. She lived for
several hours, and all that DR.. Teunis-
son, who was Immediately summoned,
could do. was done to save her, but the
bullet had performed the mission for
which it was intended, and she breath
ed her last without a sigh. 1t was a
most remarkable case. The girl was
fully grown. and had unusual advant
ages, having attended the Alcorn col
lege for girls, but other than seeming to
be Respondent, no reason appeared for
the rash act. She was perfectly con-
scious up to the last, and never uttered
a groan or seemed to experience a pain.
She said she was compelled to do what
she did, had no regret for it, and eX-
pressed herself as being perfectly
willing to die. She sang songs, and
bade the members of her family good

Speaking of the postofiice and pos
tai matters in general, it seems that
there are very few people in Mississip-
pi who realize that the State Insane
Asylum is postoffice separate and dis
tinct from the jackson Office. Every
day large number of letters arrive at
the Jackson Office addressed something
like this: "Mr. John Smith, care of
State Insane Asylum, jackson, Miss. "
The letter should be addressed as
simply. "John Smith, Asylum, Miss, "
and it would not only reach its destina-
tion quicker but also save the officials
a great deal of trouble. The Asylum
postoffice was created some time ago
and Mr. David Fondern commissioned
as the postmaster. The railway mail
clerks are all acquainted with this
fact, but when letter comes to their
