was heart failure. The deceased was
70 years, II months and IL days old.
He had been a resident of Ironton for
thirty years or more and many friends
heard of his sudden end with sorrow.
A widow and a number of children
mourn his departure. The funeral
occurred Monday afternoon, and in
terment was made in the Masonic
cemetery, Rev. Mitchell conducting
the services. Peace to his ashes. The
bereaved have the sympathy of many
friends in their sorrow.
Under date of September 4 Con-
gresham Hensley writes the editor
from Washington, d. O., as follows:
Through the Office Of Public Roads,
here, / have obtained for the purpose
of a series of lectures on the subject of
road improvements, the services of
Hon. George D. Marshall, Superin-
tendent of Construction. The time
which he can give to our district is
necessarily limited SO that I not only
had to confine him to points adjacent
to the railroad but also had to pass
other points where I otherwise should
have been pleased to send him. He
will lecture at Ironton, October 1st, at
1880 P. M, and at Des Arc, October I'd,
at 1880 P. M. I hope that everybody
who can will be present"

Last Thursday morning Mr. Miller
and his workmen were using the blue
print to mark off the location of some
doors and windows on the new Ma
sonic building. Before they had fin
ished dinner time came and they put
the roll of paper in a safe nook next
the Parkin building, thinking that il
would be perfectly safe. When they
returned the print had disappeared
and diligent search failed to locate
it. 1t seems that the only way il
could have left the place it was put.
was by the help of some thief's hand
No motive can be safely given for the
theft as the paper would be useless tc
anyone other than the builders. Al
soon as it became positive that the
print was gone, Mr.. Miller left in hi
machine for Arcadia to construct
another. This delayed the work sew
eral days but Mr.. Miller is back on the
job now and the building will be push
ed rapidly to completion.-Brederick
