Death of Mrs. Sarah SchArck.

Three months ago the many friends
and acquaintance of Mr.. A. Scherck
were called upon to mourn his depart
ure into the Great Unknown; and on
Sunday last the unassuaged regret and
grief of family and friends over the
loss then sustained, received fresh
impetus in the knowledge that his be-
reaved wife had closed her eyes in the
last long sleep, and had gone through
the darkness of the night preceding to
that bourn whence no traveller re-
turns. To the children-who are still,
their children" though all, save one,
have reached years of maturity-a
wealth of sympathy goes out, and was
amply expressed in the large attend
ance at the funeral on Monday after
noon. These last sad rites we're con
Quoted at the family homestead by
Rabbi Leucht, of New Orleans, and at
the cemetery by Rabbi Hitler, whose
words of comfort and coincidence were
beautifully expressed in choicest verb
iageI
Mrs. Scherck was thoroughly good
woman-charitable and kind, and
devotedly attached to her children
She will be missed sadly by her
neighbors and friends, and long will
her memory live in the hearts and
homes of those who loved her.

DR.. c. p Conerly announces in to-
days LEADER as candidate for county
treasurer. With all who are acqualnt-
ed with him DR.. Conerly is known as
one of the very finest men in Lincoln
county. He has never offered for Of
flee before, though repeatedly solicited
to do so by his numerous friends and
admirers. In 1890, without his solicita-
ton or knowledge, he was endorsed by
the County Alliance which was very
strong at that time as its choice for
delegate to the State Constitutional
Convention, but with that modesty
and self -abnegation which have always
been characteristic of him, the doctor
gracefully declined the distinguished
honor thus placed within easy reach,
and chose rather to remain at home
and minister as physician to his sick
neighbors. He will be strong candi-
date for county treasurer, and If
elected will prove a thoroughly capa-
BILE and trustworthy official.

}. G. Cosnahan announces in this is
sue of The LEADER as candidate for
reelection to the office of Assessor.
During his first and present term, Mr.
Cosnahan has made record as AS
SCISSOR of which any man might we'll
feel proud. His constant endeavor
has been to secure true, accurate and
honest assessment of the property of
the county, and in this he has not al
lowed himself to be influenced by fear,
favor or affection. In a number of in
stances he has, as the law gives him
the right to do when he believes prop
erty has not been honestly given i'll at
it's true value, raised assessments
thousands of dollars, and in nearly
every such instance his judgment has
been sustained by the Board of Super
viSOrs, if an appeal was taken. Of
course such an official will make enc
mics among those who are trying to
beat the State and county out of what
they are justly due in taxes, but for
every such enemy he will make many
more friends among the people who
give in their property at an honest val
uation. In this way he has brought
the average valuation of the property
in the county up to something like what
it ought to be, and thus lightened the
tax rate per thousand on all, by com
parison with what it would otherwise
be. In raising assessments there are
doubtless individual instances where
his judgment has been at fault, but his
administration of the Assessors office
as whole has been such as to be
highly complimentary to him and sat
isfactory to the people; while at the
Auditors office in Jackson, as we have
reason to know, he is regarded as one
of the few real good Assessors in the
State.

The announcement of A. Nj. Sum
mers for Representative will be found
in this issue of THE LEADER. Mr., Sum
mers is well and favorably known
throughout Lincoln county. He is a
man of great force of character, clear
judgment and of unimpeachable integ-
rity. He has long been "a recognized
leader in his community in politics,
religious and other matters, and no
man in that section of the county
stands higher among his neighbors.
Several years ago he was endorsed as
the choice of the Democracy of this
county for Floater Representative
from Lincoln and Jefferson counties
but on account of the arbitrary action
of the jefferson delegation was finally
defeated for the nomination. He now
offers for the Legislature as the Repre-,
sentative of his home county only, aud
if elected it can be truly said that his
constituents will have in him an indus
trious, faithful and conscientious Rep.
resentative who will jealousy guard
their every interest.
