redounded to the good of the
community in a business way
md many there be who have

they had a friead that was true
and upon whom they could rely
At all times and under all circum-

without alloy and his true and
noble heart throbbed in sympa-

nan. It has we'll been said that

ng the time he had been farm
ing and clerking he had as

study of law and was readily ad

soon brought to him a clientel
Jhich grew larger with eaci

Present at his bedside when
the end came were his daughter,
Miss Eoline Russell; R. V. Tay-
Ior, general manager of the Mo-

of Mobile, his family physician.
and Mrs. Robert Smith, Mrs.
Russell's sister. They had just
arrived in Washington this ever
ing, having come from Mobile on

yesterday.
Col. Russell arrived in Wash
inton Thursday morning, suffer
ing from a severe cold which he
contracted in New York the early
part of the week. AS his condi-
tion grew worse, ply sicians were
called in and Thursday evening
pneumonia developed.
On account of his advanced
age physicians said that his
chances for recovery was slim.
This morning he was reported to
be slightly better, but late this
afternoon a change for the worse
was noted.
The death of Col. Russell was
SO unexpected and the shock sc
great that his friends were
thrown into confusion.
But for the assistance of Pres
ident Finley, of the Southern
Railway. the train bearing to
ward Washington Col. Russell's
daughter, R. V. Taylor and DR..
Rhett Goode would not have ar
rived in time. He wired at 5
o'clock this morning for the traiI

He reconized every one of

Everything possible was done
to hear up the brave spirit,
but in vain.

The first engine went Into York last Saturday aft ernoon. This will give this section an- other inlet from the wholesale cities. thereby being very beneficial in securing cheaper freight rates.
 Carrollton feels a deep interest in the Alabama, Tennessee and Northern rail- way, having instigated the building of the road and made liberal donations towards it's building from Reform, on the Mobile and Ohio, to this place, distance of 10 miles, in the way of money, land and right
 Construction work continues south from York and soon connection will be made with the Tombigbee Valley, which is also controlled by John T. Cochrane, and will then give direct line to deep water at Mobile A rumor has gained circulation that MT Cochrane has surveyors in the field north from Reform, but this rumor has not been verified, although 1t is the intention of the management to enter the coal fields and into Birmingham.
