Bright'S Disease Fatal
To Prominent WOm an,

Mrs. Emily f. Wilkerson died
at her home on East Main street
Monday morning of acute Bright's
disease. Mrs. Wilkerson had been
a sufferer for the past year but
had only been confined to her bed
for the past week. She was born
February 3. 1912 in Clark county
and was a daughter of James Lee
and Elizabeth Berkley Keas. She
was married to Mr.. w H. Wilk-
erson on October 10, 1865 at Emf
nence, KY. Mr.. Wilkerson pre-
ceeded her to the grave only a few
years ago.
Deceased had been a consistent
member of the Methodist church
for fifty five years and was love-
ly Christian woman who, during
all the trials of life, always put
her dependence In the Lord and
Master she had served so long,
and when the ravages of disease
made her suffering almost unbear-
able she stood same with patience
and fortitude.
She is survived by four daugh-
ters, Mrs. ID. M. Reed, Misses
Elizabeth Berkey, Emily Francis
and Ray Keas Wilkerson and three
sons, j. Will, j. Wells and N. A..
Wilkerson and two brothers, one
of Texas and one of Kentucky,
and eleven grandchildren besides
many other relatives in Montgom-
cry, Clark and Fayette counties.
To the bereaved family we ex-
tend our sympathy.

More Trouble in Bath.

The Rose Run Mine strike trou-

trestle and two tenant houses be-
longing to the company were de-
stroyed by fire Saturday night.
Capt. Mullikin, of Lexington, was
summoned and his bloodhounds
put on the trail and ran to the
house of one of the labor leaders
in that section, however no ar
rests have been made. Quite
number of indictments were re-
turned at the last meeting of the
Grand Jury in Bath county and
this trouble coming so soon after
the rendering of these indictments
makes the trouble take very SER
ious aspect.
