Our citizens regret very much losing Mr. Russell who has been a good citizen always took an interest and active part in whatever pertained to the best interest ot the village: possessed with rare vocal talents, he was always ready to help in that line whenever called up- on our Glee Club, which has gained much popularity and has rendered grand service to the village, was under his efficient management the Presby- terian church choir will have lost an untiring and successful leader. Mr. Russell has taken a vary active part in temperance wbrk. He is one of the most energetic workers in the lodge of R. T. of T. here. He will be much missed there.
