AQUlNAS LAUGHLIN y
DIES MONDAY NIGHT
After a Lingering Illness at the
Home of Ills Mother, Mrs.f.
c. Lau9hIln, on Mays
vile Street.

The Death Angel visited our
city Monday night and took from
our midst the soul of T. Aquinas
Laughlin, aged Is. The young
man had been in poor health for
several months. but death came as
a shock to his friends, as he was
able t6be out and walk around as
late as Sunday afternoon.
Upon the death of his father, F.
G. Laughlin, little over year
ago, he took charge of his moth
er's business but was after few
months forced to give it up owing
to i'll health. He was one of the
most popular Young men in the
city, possessing a genial DISPOSE
ton with the faculty of making
friends, one of the chief character
istics of his deceased father.
While he had not vet reached his
majority he always took an active
interest in everything that tended
toward the advancement and pros
peritv of our city and was ever
ready to contribute to any good
cause.
He had been sick a long time,
but bore his suffering without a
murmur and was never heard to
complain, his chief thought always
being to protect and shield from
worry and care for his widowed
mother His life is an example of
a good, true and loving son, and
he goes to his reward in heaven
with the respect and esteem of
everyone.
He is survived by his mother
and grandfather, four brothers
and five sisters who, in their hour
of sorrow, have the sympathy of
the entire community.

Wreck at Preston.

Twelve freight cars of a train on
the G. C O. railroad were ditched
Friday morning about 4 o'clock
near Preston. The cars jumped
the track and tore up the rails for
a considerable distance. The en-
CINE did not leave the track and
no one was hurt. However all
traffic was blocked during the day,
and the through train for the East

of Covington, where it took the
main line to Ashland. The local
trains were run to the scene of the
wreck, where the passengers were
transferred to a train on the
other side of the torn-up track.
