BINGLEY RUSSELL
Good Man and Christian Citizen of
Ithaca Passes Away.


Good Man and Christian citizen OF
Ithaca Passes Away.
From the Gratot County Herald pub
lished at Ithaca we clip the following
concerning his death:
I'm the death Of Bngley Russell which
occurred at his home on Main street, last
Sunday evening. Ithaca loses a good
christian citizen; his family, faithful
husband and father, and the community a
good neighbor.
For years Mr.. Russell had been grad
ually losing strength and the power to
resist disease. Yet for man Of his age,
seyenty-five years, December 2 last, he
was a man of remarkable vitality. He
had suffered repeated attacks Of pneumo-
MIA which disease following soon after an
attack Of smallpox finally terminated his
life. After the first severe attack, he
partially recovered, but week ago again
began to decline and sank rapidly until
the end.
The funeral took place Tuesday, at 2
o. m, at his late home, Rev. J. G. Cook,
officiating. The remains we're taken to
St. Johns yesterday morning, and where
a brief service Of prayer was held at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Geo. n. Steele
and interment took place in ST. Johns
cemetery beside those Of his first wife.
The deceased was born at Virgil
CORTLAND county, New York, December
2, 82e. At the age of seven he accom-
panied his parents to Flat River, near
Beding, Michigan. In 1852 he married
Harriet Wood, and to them was born one
child, Mrs. George H. Steele, of St. Johns
Mr.. Russell was a miller by trade anc
followed this business at St. Johns for
several years where he was in partner
ship with his father-in-law. Joseph Wood
in the mill still owned by the sons of Mr.
Wood.
In 1880 Mr.. and Mrs. Russell removed
to Detroit and year later to Newark,
Gratiot county, where he became propri-
etor of New ark store. In 1882 his wife
died and in 1888 ne removed to Ithaca
and was employed for several years in
the grist mill. In 884 he married Mrs
Ella Green. To them were born three
children, Glen, Robert and Mary, who
with Mrs Russell SURVIVE him He also
leaves two brothers, Gilbert Russell, OF
Smyrna, and Eugene Russell, of Luther
M chigan, and three sisters, Mrs. Marvin
Filkins, Mrs. Loren Fales and Mrs. Marie
Moon, who live near Bedding.
1t is grand testimonial to the charac-
ter Of any man that his life is without re-
preach. So it was with Bingley Russell
All had for him the highest respect and
in him the greatest confidence. Kind
generous, even beyond his means, never
harboring an uncharitable thought, the
world is better for his having lived in it
He has but gone on before, where he
waits to welcome those he loved"

A DOUBLE SURPRISE
Was Given Mrs. l.. A. Rowley on
Friday Last.

Was Given Mrs. l.. A. Rowley on
Friday Last.
On Friday OF last week Mrs. L. A.
Rowley touched another one of those
mile stones that stand as reminders that
''tempus does ugit and soon after din
ner she donned her afternoon gown and
prepared to spend the time as Samantha
says "meditating. and with the dignity
that added years lends, when a slight
sound caused her TO look out and there
were her mother, her sister and family,
and two brothers and their families, fiji
teen in number. To say that Mrs. Row
ley was surprised but slightly expresses
it. As soon as she had sufficiently re-
covered she hurried to one OF the near
neighbors to tell of the surprise and in
quire If they knew her friends we're COM
ing and here was the double part. Her
neighbors had no knowledge Of surprise
number one but were just ready them
selves to the number of thirty to invade
the Rowley home with we'll filled baskets,
and so, soon as Mrs. Rowley had re-
turned home, in came number two and
she was surrounded and doubly surround
ed until she had not word to say.
Mr.. Rowley meantime had arrived
home and a right merry time followed
with laughter and fun, after which small
tables we're set on the lawn and as both
companies had brought more than an
abundance ofthe good things of life and
the Rowley larder was never low, an up
to-date feast followed in which all joined
with zest.
So good are such occasions for US that
five years are said to have been sub
tracted from Mrs. Rowley's life instead Of
one added.
A goodly number of pleasant remin-
ders OF the occasion were left and the
bond Of friendship and love already strong
was doubly strengthened in this delight
ful double surprise.

held in the court Eouse during the
latter part of April, the time for
the next meeting was fixed for the

The pressure that is now Oh, and
it is desired that there shall be
a full attendance at The meeting
on Monday next By all means
let these county organizations
be maintained. Collectively the
farmers may never be able to ac-
complish much for themselves,
but separately or through indi-

accomplished. Let there be a full
attendance of representative men
upon the meeting in the court
house at eleven o'clock on Monday

Light Dragons Disbanded.

Since the inspection some weeks.
ago, orders from the office or the
Adiutant and Inspector General
that would determine the fate of
Edgefeld's two cavalry companies,
the Hussars and Dragons, have
heen eagerly awaited. While SOME
doubt was entertained as to wheth-
er, under toe very rigid Dick law.
these companies would be retain
ed as part Of ths state malltia,
yet it was the universal desire
that they would not be disbanded
The suspense has bee,l ended by
an order issued on Friday last to
the effect that troop B Of Edge
field which we understand to
mean the Light Dragons, has
peen disbanded, and troop A, the
Hussars, has been placed upon the
reserve list the status and equip
ment Of which will be defined by
subsequent orders. We have been

An Unfortunate Accident.

An Unfortunate Accident.
Mrs. Joseph w. Reece has the
deep sympathy of our entire com
munity in the unfortunate acci-
dent that befell her on Saturday
morning last. She walked to the
rear door Of the house to throw
some water from vessel and
being suddenly attacked with ver-
tigo she fell from the door to the
ground, breaking her right limb
Just above the ankle. The bone
was not only broken but one piece
pro.ruded from the flesh which
intensified the pain and aggrava-
ted the wound. She was carried
in the house by MIR. Reese, assist
ed by the neighbors. Dr.. r. W. P,
Butler was summoned at once by
telephone and did all in his power
for his patient. Mrs. Reese is
doing as we'll as could be expect
ed. Some time will BIZ required
for the wound to heal.

The Polymnia Trio.

Several months have elapsed
since an entertainment has been
given in the opera house. Unless
the managers can present some
thing good they prefer not to
have an ything. In this they are
right. The Polymnia Trio, which,
is composed of three very vessa-
tile and gifted artists, will appear
on Monday evening, June the 18th.
Miss Mabel Maitland is o. perfect
7lmitator and personator, being
zunrivaled as delineator of plan
tation ard negro dialect-Mrs.
Pollord is a sweet and very gift
ed vocalist-Miss Bertha Har-
wood is veryN cultured woman,
and,an elegant performer upon
the piano and q finished musi-
clan. Thus it is seen that the pro-
gramme will be varied--never
zmonotonous but intensely inter
esting throughout. No lover Of
music, song and story can afford
to absent themselves from this
5Eigh-class entertainment.

Senator b. r. Tillman Hurt.

At the close of the graduating
exercises at the college on We'd
nesdaY evening lasI Senator Till
man, Misses Iona, Sophia and
Annie May Tillman, and the dri-
yer, entered their carriage to re-
turn te their home at Trenton.
The driver YVES not familiar with
the entrance from the street to
the college grounds and instead Of
crossing the bridge that loads to
the street lie turned too short.
driving down an embankment
that is five or six feet high. The
vehicle was overturned and the
inmates were thrown violently
TO the ground. Fortunately no
one received any serious injury.
Senator Tillman received two
severe cuts across the forehead
and head, and Miss Iona Tillman
| received several slight bruises,
| while the others escaped unharm-
ed. To stand and view the precipi-
tous en- bankment over which the
carriage was driven the wonder is
that the results were not very Sc
lrious.
| Senator Tillman was carried
Immediately tn the Office of Drs.
Tompkins & Marsh who carefully
dressed his wounds. From the
office he drove to Trenton that
night. The unfortunate occurrence
is generally regretted, while there
is very great rejoicing that the
consequences were lot more Sc
] rious.

APPROPRIATE RESOLUTIONS
Passed Sby the Members of the
Edgefield Light Dragons Upon
the Death of Their Comrade.

Whereas death has claimed an
other member Of our company in
the person Of e. L. Stevens, who

friend, ever ready to help them by
word or deed in tbs quiet and un-
assuming way that characterized
him. That in him Edgefeld coun-
ty had a true and sterling citizen,
exenpIifying in his life the quail
ties that justly endeared him to
his friends and relatives.
2nd. That in his death our COM
pany basaustained an irreparable
loss, but that the memory Of his
life and character will abide With
US forever as an incentive to
higher and truer living, aud that
the modest manliness of his char
acter will leave its impress on the
hearts of all who knew and loved
him.
3ld. That a copy Of these reso-
lutions be inscribed in the minutes
of the company, that. copy be
