Mrs. Emily Russell.

The subject Of this sketch, Mrs. Emily Russell.
was the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Ang-
lin, and wife Of Mr.. Carroll Russell. who resides
6 miles west of Tupelo.
She was born August 10. 1872. and died Ju-
Iy %. 1909. She joined the Primitive Baptist
church in 1898 or 1894, and was truly consecra-
ted to the Lord, and loved her church. Pen
nor tongue cannot do justice to The pure life she
lived.
In girlhood, even before she claimed Christ as
her guide. her walks Of life were purity itself.
The writer was a friend Of her girlhood days.
having made her wedding gown and assisted in
adjoining her for the bridal altar; have visited her
frequently through several years Of her illness. Tor
she has been a patient sufferer for several years.
and knelt by her couch in her dying hour. and
never once did hear her murmur or complain.
bat she always seemed perfectly resigned.
| wish | had the eloquence to even half pic
ture 10 the minds Of my readers the dying scene,
but it is beyond human knowledge to tell, or
art to picture the sweet smiles that played over
her lovely countenance in the hour Of death. She
seemed lost to everything around her for at
least an hour before breath left her, and with
the brightest expression and sweetest smile it has
ever been my pleasure TO witness. she gazed
h~eavenward, and at the request OF her aged
mother, | asked her if she saw sweet angels. She
turned her head and looked at me with such a
heavenly expression and said. "Yes, 0, yesl' !
asked her if the sight was beautiful. and she ex-
claimed, Pretty, ali. SO pretty!" and said. 81
have always loved pretty girls, and now | see
the pretties, girls | ever saw in my life,' and
she tried to raise her hands heavenward. She
talked to her husband so pretlily Of what she
was experiencing and said she had no fear Of
death. Just as long as she could be heard she
was ut,ering Explanations of joy and happiness
and finally passed over the tide with acalm. sweet
smile.
In her happiness she was lost to her suffering
for she told US that she was perfectly easy. She
was conscious to the last, recognizing each OF hel
little ones as they gathered around her couch,
and smiled at each one separately.
The funeral services were conducted by Mr.
John S.. Nelson, who spoke Of the noble life and
character of the deceased. Prayer was conduc.
ted by Rev. Geo. Senter Of Itawamba county.

Though all things else may CO.
You stillhave hope.

Don't count for anything.
But let your heart keep singing
The song Of hope.

OF WORKMAN
Father Herman Administers
Last Rites to Dying Pru-
dental Laborer.

While working on the fourth floor OF
the Prudential's new building, Michael
Noone, a laborer, of 696 Plane street,
was struck on the head by a brick
which had been ~dislodged from one of
the upper floors. An ambulance was
summoned and the man was taken to
the City Hospital. where he died at 2:11
this afternoon. An examination by
physicians showed that Noone's skull
was fractured. When he reached the
hospital lie had not recovered con
seriousness.
As oon as the accident occurred one
of the workmen ran to ST., Patrick's
Cathedral rectory, in Blocker street,
and informed the Rev. John Il. Kler-
man,, one of Monsignor Whelan's as
sistants, and in q few minutes the
Clergyman was at the scene of the ac-
cident and administered the sacrament
of extreme JUNCTION, in the presence of
a number of the workmen. who barred
their heads while the ceremony was
being performed.
other workmen who were qucr.,oa.v
at the building were unable to explain
just how the accident happened. 1t is
believed that one of a pile of loose
bricks on one of h upper stories of the
building wa accidentally dislodged by
a workman.
There is no such number as 696 Plane
street. 1t is feared thai the mans Foaa-
tives viii never be found.

WEST HUDSON JOINS IN
PENNSY BRIDGE FIGHT.
Board of Trade Will Work in
Conjunction With NeWark's.

The West Hudson County Board of
Trade of Harrison has decided to join
hands with the Newark Board of Trade
In an effort to have the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company reconsider its idea
of abolishing the footpath on the Cen
ire street bridge when 1t constructs its
new span.
Samuel Worthington, Philip a. Ne
Aviney and Harry p. Kreiner will
comprise a committee from the West
Hudson Board of Trade that will go
to New York tomorrow and have an
interview with Colonel Resell, L. 5. A.,
who Is a member of the United States
army engineers.
The plans for the new Centre street
bridge which have been filed with the
engineers will be gone over and the rep
resentatives from the Harrison o
win endeavor to show that the foot
path is greatly needed.
1t is estimated that over 5000 persons
use the footpath daily at the present
crossing, and 1t would be a big incon-
venience for the working people who
are able to make q short cut to and
from Harrison.
1t is understood in Harrison tina
when the Pennsylvania railroad was
given permission to construct a bridge
at Centre street it vas agreed thai
there would always be q footpatf
maintained.
The Harrison Comraoi Council viii

lend a hand in the fight for the foot
path. The manufacturers at eithel
side OF the bridge will also be ASKED
