 Referring to the new advertise ments, the readers of the DEMOCRAT will see that Mr. Lawrence Russell, of this city, has begun the practice of law. MT. Russell is. too we'll known to need another word of praise. He was born and raised in this community, and he is known far and near as a young gentleman with out blot or blemish on his character. Moral Tn the strictest sense, Law renee Russell stands high in the es teem of all who know him, and the good people of Pope county are proud of the honor of counting him as one of their number. He is graduate of the State University, car rying of the honors of his class and winning the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and is in the front rank of the young intellectual giants of this DOT tion of the state. Mr. Russell was examined for admission to the bar at tue recent term of the circuit court and came out of the rigid test with unqualified praIse from the ex- amlning board. We predict brill liant and successful career for Law renee Russell in the legal arena.
