JOHN HooE RUSSELL is
DEAD.
Was a Pioneer Citizen of Hunt
tngtOn and One of the States
Leading Cankers.

Leading Cankers.
General John Hooe Russell, aged
seventy-two years. president of the
Huntington National Bank of this
city, died last Tuesday night, JAM
uary 9th, after a brief illness. Gen.
Russell has not been in good health
for some time, and his demise
does not come entirely as sur
prise. Nevertheless the news of
the sad event is received with great
regret throughout the community,
in whose advancement the deceas-
ed was SO prominent.
General Russell was well known
throughout the state, and during
the Fleming administration, 1882
93, he served as paymaster general
on the governors staff. He was a
native of Virginia. and went to
Huntington in 1871, when the town
was established by Collis P. Hunt
ington upon the completion of his
railroad, the Chesapeake g. Ohio,
to the Ohio river at that point.
He established the bank of Hunt
ington, and has served that institu-
tion as president uninterruptedly
for thirty-two years. Several years
ago it became a national bank, and
has since been known as the Hunt
ington National Bank. In the
seventies this bank was visited by
the James boys-Jesse and Frank
and the Youngers, who held up
Chashier r. T. Oney, and made
good their escape into the wilds OF
Tennessee and Kentucky with q
haul of $4,000.
Some ten years ago General
Russell figured in an exploit that
made him figure of national in
terest. The depository of the
Bank of Huntington in Cincinnati
was the Fidelity National bank, oi
which the we'll known speculator
E L. Harper, president. One day
a travelling man dropped into Gen
eral Russells bank and told him
that he had inside information
that the Fidelity National, of Gin,
oinnati, was slated to go to the wal
the next day, owing to the unsuc
oessful efforts of Harper in the do.
main of stock and grain speculation
Without stopping to pack his grip
and waiting only to have draf
drawn on the Fidelity bank, Gen
eral Russell jumped on the frs
Chesapeake & Ohio train bounl
for Cincinnati. He arrived before
the hour of closing the bank, anC
presented his draft for the $25, ,0Ot
his bank had in the Fidelity. Th,
officers OF the bank wanted to de
lay payment until the followin,
day, but General Russell knew
what was coming, and peremptor
lily demanded his money, which b,
finally got q minute before tn
bank closed for the day. Th,
next day the crash came, and few
days later Harper was in prison
General Russell, it is said, present
ed the travelling man with ohecl
> for 5000.

"HumphI Suppose you get the

"All right"
There had been several games of
euchre played in the Bowser fam
lily, and in each and every instance
there had been a row caused by
Mir. Bowser's queer understanding
of the rules of the game. On the
last occasion Mrs. Bowser had said
that she would never play cards
with him again, and therefore he
was considerably surprised at her
present willingness. She got out
the table and cards and as he look
ed more closely at her he didn't
feel easy in his mind.
"Is this game going to be accord

cards were ready.

the women Of the alleys would turn out
in full force at the elections, always
casting their ballots for the baser ele-

very large percentage of this class Of
women, despite their own condition,
vote for purity in politics, for better

The reports received from the Ex-
change this season show, that it has
done much towards helping the farm
ers obtain the good prices they have
realized from the sale of their Irish
potatoes this year, and doubtless has
strengthened their convictions as to
their duty to stand by it and help it
along to greater success. 1t may be
that the potatoes would have sold
fairly we'll this season without the
Exchange, because of their scarcity
and the demand for them, but nc
one advised as to the efforts of those
outside of the Exchange to beat dowr
the prices, can doubt what the result
would have been, if the agents of the
Exchange had not been on hand tt
offer better prices.
