Obituary

On December &c. 1917. Mrs.
Eleanor Russell, aftera period of
+, severe suffering passed from our
midst into eternal rest. This an
nouncement brought great sor-
row to a wide circle of friends.
It fell with especial heaviness on
the membership of New Prospect
M. E. church south in which
Mrs. Russell was a faithful men,
Der, and always took a leading
part in every place of it's work.
Her home was her pastors home.
Her happy, genial character
will be missed in the church at
home, and everywhere she was
known. She was charitable and
kind. When a neighbor was i'll or
| in trouble we could always count
on Mrs. Russell's being among
the first to render assistance; and
while she was continually help
ing to tighten the burdens of
others she never spoke of her
own troubles. Although we teel
that her life on earth was cut
short. yet we know that her work
| is not ended, for her influence
and the memories of her deeds
will live to bless and make the
world better.
More than SO years ago she
was married to DR.. Virgil Russell
who had gone on before her near
ly thirteen years ago.
1t was with her family as low
ing wife and true mother, in her
hospitable home. were the most
attractive features of her charac-
ter manifest. We extend our SYM
patty to the seven children who
survive, and we would say to
them that your mother has only
gone on before where she waits
for you. May the kind and low
ing Heavenly Father guide,
strengthen, and comfort you un-
til a brighter day shall dawn.
A friend and neighbor,
RACHEL MARTIN.

ENGLISH COURTS
CONF RONTED BY
UNWRIT TEN LAW

LONDON, Feb. (by maiD.-Em-
plOyment of the "unwritten law as
a cloak behind which soldiers may
plead justification of capital crimes
resulting from conjugal infidelities has
again aroused criticism throughout
England. The action of a London
judge in binding over to keep the
peace a soldier who had shot his un-
faithful wife dead has called forth the
comment from the Manchester Guar
dian that 1.-The courts are beginning to
treat certain offences by soldiers in
the same spirit as the church granted
indulgences to Crusaders"
In the most recent case, the accused
pleaded guilty to manslaughter in
killing his wife, and the crown, ac-
cepting the plea. offered no evidence
on the charge. In deciding the judge
said:
Il have to inflict punishment such
as reasoned and instructed public
opinion will believe is fitting to the
case and l believe that no body of
instructed and reasoned men would
believe that punishment in a sense of
Imprisonment is fitting to this case"
He then ordered the prisoner To ba
bound over ito come up for iudg.
ment if called upon"
Commenting on the case the Man.
chester Guardian said:
ITO allow the liberty of private
vengeance is to dissolve society into
its anarchic atoms and to negate the
reasons of state which substituted
the national and royal courts for the
courts of local and personal prejudice )"
