and maybe exhibited q splinter or
two of it, they mobbed him with
stale eggs and curses. The by.

the Yankee Robinson circus has the
best equipment Of any circus travel
ing All the canvas of the show is
waterproof and will withstand the
most severe rains. All the canvas
of the show is made new every year
and while it would appear to more
advantage without the waterproof
ing, the management desires to look
after the convenience of the patron
and YOU are as safe in the tents of
this show as though you were in
your opera house witnessing show.
This show is given rain or shineeven
if the afternoon show has to be
given with lights from the circus
electric plant.
The first section of the show trains
will arrive at 6 a. m October 7th.

in order by nine in the morning in
order that early visitors can take

E. h. Russell Dies Suddenly.

Ernest H. Russell, Il well known
former citizen of Harrison, died sud-
denly of heart failure at Eureka
Springs last Monday. and was inter
red in the Harrison cemetery We'd
nesdav after services conducted at
the Baptist church by Rev Gill
The funeral party included the fam
ily of deceased, los. f. Sigmon, faith
er of Mrs. Russell, a sister of MIR.
Russell and several others.
Mr.. Russell was born in Iowa in
1876 and came to Arkansas some
ten years ago. He was married
here seven years ago to Miss Lilly
Sigmon who, with her three child
rem survives him. He was a man of
strong character moral and upright
in all the affairs of life, and highly
esteemed by all who knew him.
We take the following form the
Eureka Times Echo,
Mrs. +. H. Russell and the little
folks returned from Stiger, Okla,
on the noon train, their home-com-
ing being far different from their de-
parture only a few days ago, The
husband and father was then pres.
ent to look after their comfort and
welfare. and was apparently in the
best of health. With promises to
write soon and often, he waved his
last farewell to the loved ones as the
train bore them away, and never a
toreboding came to any that this
was his final goodbye.
Saturday he was taken i'll, and a
phy Sician was summoned, when
home remedies failed to bring relief.
After temporary cessation of pain,
the sick man went to the home OF
his sister, Mrs. Erickson, where he
passed away Monday afternoon.
Acute indigestion was the beginning
of the trouble, the sudden and unex,
pected death being from heart fail,
ure.
Mr.. Russell had been in the employ
of the Missouri and North Arkansas
road for nine wears.
