earthly tenement Monday, seeking repose in that Heavenly Home where there is 
no more sorrow nor pain.
    Henry Rushing, one of the county's most estimable citizens resided 9 miles 
west of Troy in the Starkville community, and his presence will be greatly 
missed.  He is surived by his widow and eight children.
    Mr. Rushing was a consistent member of the Primitive Baptist Church,
