going to be rigidly enforced in Iron
county. Every feature, remember,
every feature, and if any driver OF an
automobile fails to obey the law in
every particular be will be hailed be-
fore the nearest justice. Especial
warning is given to those parties who
have been driving without stall"
lights. Not one in ten of the automo-
biles passing up and down Ironton's
streets after night have red lights in
the rear. This will no longer be toll
Grated. Be sure and have your lights
burning by August LIST.
Why do our motorists ignore the
ordinance requiring signal to be
sounded at street corners? l saw a
narrow escape from collision two or
three days ago at the post office COR
ner. An auto at good speed going
west on Reynolds street turned the
corner just as a light one-horse wagon
coming north on Main street was max
ing the turn eastward. The vehicles
brushed by each other with scarce a
hands breadth between them. The
auto had sounded go signal and its APP
proach was hidden from the driver
of the team. Gentlemen, be a little
more liberal with the use of your
"honk" else worse may come of it.

County Highway Engineer w. D.
Kendall has been advised that three of
the auto trucks have been assigned to
Iron county by the federal authorities
for road work. These trucks were
built for war purposes but never put
in use. They are being apportioned
