Col. Richard Wootton, of this county, as
Manager for Maryland of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company of New York, to sue
coed Mr.. O. F. Bresec, who has resigned

Underwater" in speaking of the appoint
ment says: "Of Mr.. Wootton whom we
have seen and known since his connection
with Mr. Bresee's office in 1891, there are
only words of commentator for his fidel
ity to the Mutual Life and Mr.. Breese, and
his ability to make and manage agents,
and although he is Il young man we antici-
pate that the officers in New York have
made a wise selection, and that his future
results will show that he will make a
worthy successor Of Mr.. Bresee."
The appointment of Mr.. Wootton is a
great honor, for it is the first time that
man Of his age has received such an APP
pointment. He has been for some years
Agency Superintendent and Cashier under
Mr.. Bresce. The complimentary part of
the selection is that the promotion was
made upon the record of this young gen.
tleman, and without his making applica-

Country Customs Passing.

AS the old time customs and pleasures
of the rural homes decay or pass away,
says an exchange, rs the artificial takes
the place of the ancient real and hearty,
the Young folks long for the city. They
want life and companionship, which the
changed habits of the country no longer
afford as in the elder days. The singing
school, the debating society, the quilting
lee, the apple butter boiling, the corn
husking, the butchering frolc, the surprise
party and dozen of other old time coun-
try customs are recollections, and so the
young folks grow up among farm machines
which talk not or sympathize. In a way
it looks very much as if the desire of
yonng country people to come to the city
has its cause in the fact that the merry
customs OF the fathers have passed away
and rural companionship has been less
ened.
