IRWIN RUSSELL.

Referring to tho movement tc
erect a monument to Irwin Rus
sell, the Port Gibson Reveille,
published at Russell's old home,
says:
Russell was the son of parents
who, while poor. lived comfort
ably. He was given educational
advantages and home. But
early in life he acquired e taste
for liquor, and, leaving home OF
his own volition, he wandered
from city to city, occasionally
getting employment on newspa-
pers and magazines, but each
time losing his position because
of drunkenness. He finally
reached New Orleans and secur-
ed employment as reporter on
the Times-Democrat. but, as in
former cases, his desire for whis-
ky came upon him, and he soon
died. probably from the effectj Of
a spree.
1t is not the man, however.
that the State would honor: it is
the genius. Nothing could be
said of Russell save that he was
a dialect writer of considerable
ability.

Meeting line is to be built between Ashland

money to build it came from the defunct

bonds being held by that concern. The stock
of the company was given away as a bonu.
with bonds. The Schuylkill Traction Com.
pany was started by the Saddlers, family
from Cumberland county They built
the road by issuing bonds and sell
ing at about half of the face value

made up of Harrity, Dallis Sanders and
others. 1t will cost $12O, 900 to fix up the
road bed. The Mt Carmel & Shamokir
road is capitalized at a million and half
and it runs from Shamokin to Centralia. il
runs through thinly settled country and
has limited traffic.
