Russell Loses a Good Citizen.

Last Wednesday night Mr.. 10
White, who lived on farm of Judge
HI. c Baker, one mile this side of
Russell Springs, died very suddenly, a
victim of acute indigestion. The de-
ceased was about sixty years old, and
was citizen for whom his neighbors
and friends had the utmost respect
and confidence. He died in the
home where he had resided with his
wife, son and daughter for number
of years, and he will be greatly missed.
Judge Baker was notified by phone
and left at once, to be at the house of
mourning, and he doubtless delivered
comforting words to the sorrowing
widow and children.

In attendance, this was a remark
able meeting, the church being crowd

and many evenings large numbers had
to return to their homes for lack of
seating room Iii the building.
