Death of Judge Z. C. Burks.

Elk State Supreme Court Judge
Edward Cahill Burks died Sunday
night at his home, in Bedford City.
Deceased had been lingering with Il
severe illness for many weeks past.
His death would not have surprised
his friends at any time during the
past week. Judge Burks was born
at his fathers old homestead, four
teen miles from Bedford City, on
MAY 20, 1921. His early education
was at his home. He took a full col
legiate course at Washington College,
now the Washington and Lee Uni
versity. Judge Burks, just before
the readjusters re organized that
BODY in 1882, occupied place on
the State Supreme Court bench,
and was regarded as one OF
its ablest members. He sue
ceeded on that bench Hon. Wood
Bouldin. After taking his degree at
college he located at Bedford City
and opened an office for the practice
of his profession. He was one OF the
revisors Of the code of Virginia,
which was put into operation in 1887.
Since his retirement from the SUI
preme Court Judge Burks enjoyed a
fine practice and was engaged IN
some very important cases, both as a
pleader and consulting attorney
The Law Register was founded by
the deceased, who was also its editor.
The degree of LII. d. was conferred
upon him by the Washington and
Lee University in 1891. In legal
learning the deceased jurist was re-
garded as being without a superior in
Virginia.

Q. H., Va, as second-class matter.

The premium list of the Eastern
Shore Agricultural Association, which
appears in this issue of the ENTER
PRISE, is commended to the careful
perusal of all of our readers on the
Eastern Shore. The fair to be held
on their grounds, commencing Au-
gust 31st, is of interest to all of us,
deserves and should have our en-
couragement and support and its
success depends upon our efforts. To
make it g success, exhibits are neces
sary, and the better the quality and
greater the variety ofthem, of course
greater will be the success. To that
end the preparation of them is urged
to begin at once and let all of us re
solve TO have something on hand
when the day arrives. Especially do
we urge. that an effort be made to
make the agricultural department. u
full one, in fruits, vegetables and
cereals, of excellent quality, if we
have them, if not of the best we
have. Nor must we subject ourselves
to the criticism of having no fine
stock or poultry. We have plenty of
it and must have it on the fair
grounds. both as credit to ourselves
as people, and as an incentive to
those who need encouragement for
Improvement along these lines. The
ladies department always up to the
standard will be this year, and the
horsemen will see, we have no doubt,
that there is no falling off in their
department. 1t should be a success
in every respect, and will be, if our
people choose to make it so. The
fair of last year was the most success
full one in the history of the organiza-
ton. As a progressive people
we cannot afford to fall behind this
season.
