SHERIFF ANDREW DEAD.
Popular Official Passed Away Mon
day Morning, Cancer OF the
Stomach Being the Cause.

The entire community was greatly
shocked on Monday morning to
learn of the sudden death of sheriff
j. e. Andrew, after an illness of
only a couple Of days, although he
! had not been feeling well for some
time. He was taken sick last Thurs
| day, but was able to be at his Office
on Friday, but Saturday morning he
was feeling so badly that he remain
| ed at home. Saturday evening he
was much worse and the physicians
worked with him most of the night
| He continued to grow worse all day
| Sunday and passed away Monday
| morning at 1 o'clock. A postmOr-
tenn was held on Monday, which
developed the fact that his death
was caused from cancer of the
stomach.
Sheriff Andrew was Sc years of
age, and was born and raised in
Grand River township, where all his
life was spent until he was elected
sheriff four years ago when he NOV
ed to Leon, and was just completing
his second term as sheriff, after
which he expected to return to his
farm in Grand River township. He
was very popular among large
circle of friends, and his untimely
| death is deeply deplored. He is sur
vived by his wife and several chill
dren.
Funeral services were held at Elk
Chapel on Wednesday afternoon.
conducted by Rev. McGilvray, of De
catur City, interment being in the
Elk cemetery. The floral offerings
from the court house officials and
other friends were many and beauti-
full, and his funeral was attended by
large concourse of sorrowing
friends. ....r
Under the law upon the death of
the sheriff the coroner assumes the
duties of the sheriff, and Coroner
Layton took charge of the office. He
will hold the office of sheriff until
the first of January when F. L.
Lorey becomes sheriff. and in the
meantime has appointed sheriff
elect Lorey as deputy sheriff. SO that
he will be in charge of the office.

Humeston Will Get Electric Lights
From Leon.

At the special election held at
Humeston last Friday, the PROPOSE
ton to grant franchise to the Leon
Electric Co., of Leon, to install a
system of electric lights and power
in that town, was carried by an
almost unanimous vote, the result

completion as fast as the necessary
material can be secured. Humeston

wise thing, insuring them an cleo
trio light and power service which is
