The Russell House is up and under roof—and will soon be ready for occupancy. It is a good, substantial job and reflects credit upon all engaged in its construction. The brick were laid by Riley and Jerry Eckenrod, and the carpenter work thus far was done by Ad. May and John Smith. Of course Uncle William and his boys took an active part in shoving the building along. And if they keep on at this rate of progress with it, a few weeks will suffice to obliterate a very large proportion of the ungainly vestiges of the fire in its immediate vicinity.
