TWO DEATHS IN
RUSSELL HOME LAST
WEEK; REST HERE
Father and Mother of Mrs. G. e.
Gayden Pass Away Within Three
Days. Laid to Rest in Brandon
Cemetery. Family Grief Stricken.

Two deaths within week was
the toll taken from one family when
Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Russell, Of
Avera, Miss, died within a period
of three days of each other.
After a brief illness Mrs. Russell
died at her home on Wednesday,
June 13.
Mrs. Russell had not been in
good health for some time, but was
able to be constantly at the bedside
of her husband, whose death had
been momentarily expected. The de-
voted children had been summoned
home on account of the serious
condition of their father, but they
little dreamed that both mother and
father of this home would be called
within a weeks time.
Mr. Russell had been an invalid
for many months and his death
was not unexpected when he passed
away on Saturday, June 16, just
three days after his devoted COM
panion had died. This couple had
just passed their 51st anniversary,
and had lived useful lives, they were
members of the Methodist Church,
and were noble, c0nsecrated christ
ians. They were loving, dutiful and
self sacrificing parents, who had
fought good fight, kept the faith
and who are no doubt reaping a
deserved reward.
They will be greatly missed by
their devoted children and a host
of friends in this city who learned
to love them during their frequent
visits to their daughter, Mrs. G. +.
Gayden.
Funeral services for Mrs. Russell
were conducted from the home OF
Mrs. C. e. Gayden Thursday after
noon. Interment at the Brandon
Cemetery. Rev. W. M. Porter, OF
Avera, assisted by Rev. w. j.
Dawson, said the last rites.
Mr.. Russell was IA years Of age.
Funeral services for Mr.. Russell
were conducted at the cemetery
Sunday afternoon by Rev. j. G.
Chambers, of Jackson. Interment
was made in the Brandon Cemetery
beside the wife who had preceded
him only a few hours, where the
graves were covered with wealth
of beautiful floral designs.
Besides numerous friends who are
left to mourn the passing Of Mr..
and Mrs. Russell, they leave six
devoted children who humbly bow
to the will of God, saying:
''Sleep on, beloved, sleep, and take
thy rest,
Lay down thy heads upon thy
SaviOr's breast,
We love thee well, but Jesus loved
thee best"
/. The surviving children are: Miss
Mary Russell, III. III. Russell, Mrs.
II. w. McMafn, Avera, Miss, @. "a.
Russell, of New Orleans, H. N. Rus
sell, of Waynesboro, Miss, and Mrs.
C. f. Gayden, of this city.

DIR. PATTERSON
RESIGNS AS PASTOR
OF BAPTIST CHURCH
Has Served the Baptist Church for
Number of Years. To Devote Full
Time to Work in Mississippi COLI
lege. Well Liked.

DR.. M. o. Patterson, of Clinton,
pastor of the Baptist Church here,
preached to large congregations
both morning and evening in this
city Sunday. At the eleven o'clock
service he rendered his resignation
as pastor Of this church. DIR. Pat
terson has been the Bible Teacher
in Mississippi College for a number
of years and has been urged for
some time to give up his PASTORAL
work in order to devote his full
time to Mississippi College.
The members of this church re-
gret very much the idea of giving
him up, as it will be hard to find
a man who can fill his place as
as he has done.
His resignation will take effect
October 1st, provided a pastor can
be secured to take his place. Ii not,
he will continue his service until
the end of the year.

GUARD AGAINST
SHORTAGE OF FOOD
AND FEED CROPS
Not Too Late to Plant June Corn,
Soy Beans, Peas, Sorghum and
Other Hay Crops. Do Something
to Keep From Buying Feed.

Owing to the continued rains the
farmers of Rankin County have
been delayed In planting corn.
Nearly every farmer planned to wait
as usual, until May to plant the
greater part of the corn crop. The
continued wet spell prevented the
cultivation OF the cotton crop and
consequently the planting of suf-
ficient acreage in corn and up to
this date there are numbers of
farmers who have corn to plant.
Reports from all cotton growing
states are to the effect that the
condition of the corn crop is far
below normal with heavy acreage
to be planted; the indications point
to high prices for corn another sea-
son and we cannot be too careful to
see that we are well supplied with
enough feed and food crops to
supply our home and farm needs,
we cannot afford to buy these sup
plies and with the present outlook
for cotton it is indeed discouraging
to think Of growing cotton to get
money to buy these things.
DIR. e. r. Lloyd, Secretary Of
the Memphis Chamber Of Com
merce, has given out a statement
warning the planters of the Mem
phis trade territory, which includes
the Mississippi Delta, against the
shortage of food and feed crops and
advises them to plant late crops to
take care of the situation.
1t is not too late yet to plant the
June corn, soy beans, peas, sorghum
and other hay crops, and it would
be a splendid idea to plan for
a few acres in some clover variety
this fall and through this legume
crop begin a system to renovate
our fields. There are several farm
ers this year who have secured
splendid results from Red and Burr
clovers and will make corn crop
following them.

The Alaska fisherman., 1923-05-15

MT. Hoover invited this legislature to present a fair law to regulate the fisheries whereupon, he says, he will rescind the orders creating reserva- tions. Mr. Grant took him at his word and introduced complete bill dealing with this subject. In our opin- ion, it is the best and most favorable bill that we can secure from Congress- It is not just what we want But we are human enough to be inconsistent and say "Let us get what we can get"
 There are only two sections that vii tally affect the fishing population. They are sections and 8. We will quote them in full and let our readers do their own explaining.
 Secton ': That it shall be unlaw 1ul to drive, construct, set or fish with any fixed or floating trap, weir or pound net in any bay, inlet or estuary in Alaska, the width of which at it's entrance Is three miles or less, or within any channel or passage connect ing larger bodies of water where the width of such channel or passage is three miles or less, or within one mile of the entrance to any bay, inlet or estuary, which lis two miles or less in

 Rep. Reyes said he didn't see a single lobbyist in Juneau, only that he met fine gentlemen who were very kind and ready to give him ad- vice as to how to vote.
 
 Sen. Aver voted to keep the tax on mine profits at 1 per cent and when the higher tax was adopted, he tred to change his vote for the rec ord. We have wondered why
The Alaska fisherman., 1923-05-15

Sen. Chamberlain and Sen. Brown only voted on the same side of question but once (except on formal motions). The motion was on the fisherman's labor tax. Chamberlain felt that it would be too great a bur den on the tax collectors. Brown felt that it was too great a burden on the fishermen.
 On the road bill, it was Wilson versus Daily; Territorial control ver- sus appointed officials. Daily won out. We have wondered what his reward will be. Is it agent for the Alaska Steamship Company at Nome?

REP. w. D. GRANT

We cast about for suitable head ing for the subject of fisheries legis- lation and consider that nothing better will be found that the title "Repre- sentative w. D. Grant," This little, fiery eyed, blue eyed man, that looks you squarely in the eye and jabs his finger continuously and nervously as he talks accomplished the greatest piece of legislation of the recent ses- sion when tested by the test of time. Fisheries is the all important industry of Alaska. It lis the industry that has made possible all the development that has come. In days gone by, the prospector secured his "stake" by fish ing. With the depletion of the fish cries has come the cessation or dim mutton of prospecting.
 All untrammeled observers, we mean real observers, not the kind that trav- el about on cannery boats or fine gas propelled cruisers of the Bureau of Fisheries, or that sit in swivel chairs at Washington 1000 mles away, know that the fish trap is the root of all evil.
