DR.. R. w. Gay Saturday received a
telegram from Arthur L. Wilkinson of
Mansfield, Ohio announcing the death
that morning of his mother, after ak
months illness following influenza.
The deceased was the relict of the
late j. W. Wilkinson, who more than
forty years ago was a photographer
in Irontou. The funeral occurred at
Mansfield Monday afternoon.

made to enforce the speed regulations
in Ironton we suggest to the officials

especially at night, and often without
light of any kind. No one inter-
feres; no one seems to care. 1t is mi
raculous that fatalities ha We not re-
suited.
