M. M. CORNER DEAD
Seized with a Stroke of Paralysis
and Lasted but a Few Days.
Sank Peacefully to Sleep

AT his home in Gray where for
some time he had been living a re-
tired lite, M. M. Corner went peace
fully TO rest to await the coming of
the Judgment when nations and
tongues and creeds shall appear be-
fore Him who doeth all things we'll
and receive their reward according to
deeds done in the flesh.
Mr. Corner was an old pioneer OF
Cameron township and a personal
friend of the writer who has known
him and his excellent family since
1878. After the death of his wife a
few years ago, he was left with one
young daughter at home; she being
too young to assume the cares OF the
household, and on account of this, he
rented his farm to his sons and lived
with them until the house was one
night destroyed by fire. He became
DESTROYS then of removing to town to
live, where he could mingle with his
old acquaintances and associates and
moved in short time ago.
Mr.. Corner was very kind and af-
fectioGate man to his family and as a
neighbor was accommodating and
obliging. "A cloud, as it were, for
the last few years, seemed to over
shadow his life. A few years ago,
his youngest son to whom he was
much attached, sickened and died
and soon thereafter Mrs. Corner sue
cumbed to fatal illness and follow
ing this, his honse and all of it's con-
tents burned to the ground. Surely
then, many a strong mind would
have given way but he bore it with
manly fortitude.
He was stricken with paralysis
Sunday last. His son Ora, and wife,
and his two brothers were constant
attendants until the end came, We'd
nesday, January Goth.
The funeral was held at the u. B.
church Thursday afternoon at two
O'Clock, Rev. Hayes conducting the
services. Interment was made in the
Cameron Center cemetery where lies
his wife. Their earthly trials are
over. They are waiting.

This should be easy Of accomplish
ment, since the leaders of the politi.
cal parties in the State, aud, what il
more to the point in Louisiana, the
leaders Of all factions within the

prices, the commissions have not
been lessened.
1t hns come about that in some
districts the tax collectors are enjoy
ing incomes that are extrayagant.
The tax collector of the large parish
OF Calcasieu, for instance, gets some
thing like $2O.OOO u year for tax
commissions alone, though he would
lie well paid at one-iuurth Of that
