COLONY OF
RUSSIANS
FIVE THOUSAND OF THEM WILL
SETTLE IN TEXAS.
They Are Refugees From the Present
War, Mostly Farmers and A;e
Claimed 10 Be the Better
Class Of Peasants.

A committee Of three, representa-.
tlves Of colony OF some 500 Rus
sian families who recently emigratei
to this country, are headed toward
Texas with view to inspecting the
country and inquiring into its fitness
as colon!zing place. This commit
tee is now in San Francisco, arrang
ing for the landing of immigrants,
and will probably leave that plale Tor
Texas some day this week.
The families, il is learned, are Iefu-
gees from the present war, and come
from the western section Of Russia
The entire party will aggregate about
5000 individuals, and the purpose =
to establish Russian village. Here
the customs Of the fatherland will
be practiced as nearly as possible,
the religion of the Greek church will
be established and the colony viii
present IN every way the appearance
of native Russian municipality.
Most Of the immigrants are farmers
and adjacent to the town farms VIII
be bought and occupied and the vari-
Gus industries will be engaged in.
However, the intention Of the immi-
grants Is to become true American
citizens. The ties OF Inheritance, eh
vironment and long practice bind
them TO Russian customs and the Ian
guage and religion of the far-away
country, but they have come to Amer
lea to become Is citizens, and they
will enter with full enthusiasm and
spirit into the full and free American
life. Pilgrims frCm a land of grind
ing oppression, they have come TO tn =
American republic to make a new
home, and they viii build in full ac-
cord with American ideas.
The members of the proposed col
ony are said to be among the best
and most substantial class Of Russian
people. They come from the ranks OF
the sturdy peasants, whose efforts
have ever been directed toward the
achievement of freedom, and possess
ed of a thrifty and industrious spirit,
they will make good American cit
zens.
The immigrants are now in San
Francisco having lately arrived there
frcm their home beyond the Pacific.
The committee Of three comprise the
leaders of the party, and, as repre-
sentatiyos Of the others, they will
make the trip over the state in the
endeavor to select a suitable location
for the colony. They will visit the
Panhandle section Of the state first,
and from there will proceed to the
other districts yet unsettled which OF
fer advantages for colonizing. 1t is
planned that the entire tour of in
spection win consume about two
weeks, during which time the visitors
will be shown every section of Texas.
The trip is looked forward to with
much interest not only by the land
men and railroad interests, but also
by the citizens of the state, to whom
the proposition appears now in the ma
ture Of an eXperiment-Housto Post.

Obituary.

This community was shocked and
panied last Saturday morning when the
message came that Miss frankie Cash
was dead. While she was known to be
quite frail in body, very few knew of the
irious nature of the malady. Few but
her immediate relatives knew that she
had gone to Ann Arbor to submit to a
surgical operation. The first message
that came to many of us was the sad in
telligence of her death.
Miss Cash had spent her entire life 10
this county, and all but five years of it
in her late home. So many years spent
here has made her well known and the
large number of people who attended
the funeral and the deep sorrow pictured
on many faces testified little as to the
high esteem in which she was held. To
know her was to feel the touch of a con-
secrated life, to inhale the fragrance of
beautiful soul.
At Is years of age, Miss Cash gave
her heart TO the Saviour and has since
then, in her own quiet way, led devoted
christian life. 1t was at the family altar
that she offered her first audible prayer,
which consisted of these words, Dear
Saviour, help me to never be ashamed to
be christians" and with that as the
prayer of her heart she took a decided
stand for Christ. Her first prayer was
answered and during the 20 years that
have passed since then there was never
aquestion as to the purity of her christian
life; and to-day that life is the comment
of hundred tongues.
Her love for her parents and sisters
was as beautiful as it was true, and
though they are sad to day, they can
praise God for the life that has taught
them afresh, the first law of heaven
Love"
She leaves to mourn her loss her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Erastus Cash, and
two sisters, Mrs. Milton Pugsey and Mrs.
Bowen, whose sorrow is shared in many
hearts, and whose future will know the
influence of many prayers.
The funeral services were held Tues
day afternoon, conducted by her pastor
Rev. w. X. Lane, assisted by her former
pastor, Rev. Robert Gordon.
