Memorial.

On March 25th, as the golden
sun was sinking behind the wes-
tern horizon, God in His infinite
wisdom, sent His reaper in our
,, midst to gather the wheat from
among the tares, and doing as
he was hidden, took from US our
dear friend, Mr.. Henry Houston
Norrell, one of our oldest citi-
zens, and one who numbered his
friends by the score.
Mr.. Norrell had passed the
three score and ten years at the
departure of this life. He was
born in Sumpter county, Ala,
but moved to Scott county, Miss,
with his parents in early child
hood. He Djoined the confeder-
ate army in 1861 at the age of
21 belonged to the 9th Mississ-
ippi Regiment, Co. K, and served
the full four years, receiving one
wound.
He was married to Miss Hassie
Virginia Mobiles, of Rankin coun-
ty, at the age of 26, and resided
at Forest, Miss, for several
years, later removing to this
county, where he remained until
death removed him.
During the declining years of
his life, he was in i'll health much
of the time. but he bore his suf-
ferings :quietly and patiently,
often saying Il am not afraid of
DEATH am ready to go at any
time"
He leaves only a wife-no
children having been born to
them. To that dear old wife we
would say as Paul said, BE of
good cheer, for. Christ hath said,
In my Fathers house are many
mansions, and | go to prepare a
place for you, that where | am

O'Clock. after they were In bed.
Mr.. Houdon and his three young

from Alexandria.
During the sculptor's two weeks

was modelled in clay, writing In his
diary a full account OF the method OF
mixing the plaster OF paris and the
making of the molds. a process In
which he was greatly interested. He
also submitted TO the unpleasant OPP
Grafton of having a life mask made Of
his features in order to insure a per
feet likeness. In the presence of Mr..
Madison exact measurements OF his
figure were made and full details of
his uniform were noted to enable the
sculptor to complete his work.
"The clay bust was then left by the
sculptor at Mount Vernon, where it is
one of the most highly valued of all
of Mount Vernon's relics of the Father
of His Country. But the life mask
and mods of the bust Houdon himself
took to Paris, not trusting them to the
hands of his assistant. for said he,

BOYS BAND WILL GIVE
DANCE ON APRIL 7TH

The Boys band of Ely will give a
dance in Bio hall on the evening OF
April It'll. according TO plans which
we're launched at a meeting held on
Thursday and which was attended by
Mayor A. B. Witcher and City Mar
shall W. s. Enslow, W of the trus-
tees of the organization.
According to the report submitted
the boys now have approximately
$500 In the treasury. This sum has
been gradually gathered together by
industry and saving. The boys are
now anxious to buy uniforms and this
will require a sum in excess of the
amount in the treasury. When the
trustees suggested a Band Boys
dance as a method of raising the ad-
ditional sum required. the suggestion
was enthusiastically received.
The Boys band, since its organiza-
ton several years ago. has made rap
id strides and has developed some good

ESPOSlTO HELD
RESPONSIBLE IN
PICKETT DEATH
Coroner Blames Driver Of
Car That Struck Hay
Wagon In Stratfeld

Declaring that Nellie Pickett. the
21-year-old Lee avenue resident.
came to her death through the Grim
inal act of Thomas opposite of New
Haven, Coroner John J. Phelan this
morning ordered the Elm City motor
list held for the police. In his find
ing the coroner declares that if Espo-
sito had kept his car on the right
side of the road on the night OF
March 20, the collision with the hay
wagon would not have occurred.
THE car was on the wrong SIDE"
the coroner says in his finding, land
the speed was not only unlawful but
around the curve was recklessly
high
It is found that on the evening Of
the accident opposite and Arthur J.
Harris Of New Haven, took Miss Pick
EFT and Emily Cashan for a ride.
They went to Stamford and after hav
ing some drinks there visited the
Compo Inn in. Westport where they
had more liquid refreshment. It was
on the Stratfeld road on the way to
this city that the collision with the
hay wagon happened. The coroner
does not say anybody in the party was
intoxicated. Gus Hertha1, Jr., and
Howard Gregory of this city, who
were with two girls in an automo-
bile, saw the accident but the coroner
thinks they were mistaken regarding
the speed Of Esposito's car.
