Mr. Cassel has decided to become a candidate, and in another column will be found his announcement. H. Burd Cassel was born in Mari- elts, this county, October 19, 1855, and is, therefore, emphatically one of our own people. His father, the late Abram N. Cassel, was one of the most prominent citizens of the county, dying a few years ago at the age of eighty-five years, after a long and successful business career. He not only filled many stations of publie trust, but served several terms in the State Legislature with prominence. H. Burd Cassel, after passing through the public schools of Marietta, finish- ed lis education at the Columbia Classical institute. At an early age he became interested in the lumber business with his father, becoming sole peoprietor of the same upon the latter's death, and which he still con- tinues. Like his father, he has always been a stanpnch Republican, and be. came interested in politics at an early age, His first political office was as a member of the County Committee, in 1881, the year in which Judge Livingston was renominated without a contest. He subsequently became Chairman of the County Committee, in 1893, without opposition, that be" ing the first time in years that a Chair. man was eleeted by acclamation, He was sent as a delegate to the National Convention held in St. Louis in 1896, and in 1898 he was nominated aud elected to the Lower House of the State Legislature, where his father had served fifty-nine years before. He was re-elected in 1900, and is now a member of that body. He has served his constituents with marked ability and success, and his appoint. ment to important commitees, that of the Judiciary General, Ways and Means, Public Buildings, and others, ndicates in what esteem his abilities were held, Mr. Cassel has always been an im. portant factor in the civil life of his community, and, dl where he *int ~tiliatiopndi terian failpr and a Suit in which vw He was for!S County Su and was § County Young Asa b og Diz The Tw¥ From the Mount Joy § In another col the announcemen Cassel of Marietta) erintendent M.
