A. K. Burbank, probably the best
known citizen of this town, died Saturday,
Aug. 4, after an illness of eight days The
funeral was held at the church Monday,
and the crowded house and many fearful
ewes showed the esteem in which he was
held. All his children were present ex-
cept Mrs. Duane. who was detained at her
home by the illness of her little daughter.
Rev. e. r. Currier officiated and Rev. G.
NJ. Charlton of Perkinsvile, former pas
tor, said few words also. Both spoke
tenderly of the many noble qualities OF
Mr.. Burbank; of his steadfast faith and
loyalty to the church, and constant attend
ance on its services. Many relatives and
friends from out of town were present, and
the floral offerings were very beautiful and
appropriate.

First Day of the Double Daily ses-
sions worked Well.

The public schools reopened yesterday
and everything worked smoothly and mar
moniously. On account of the coll
weather there was not so large an attend
ence as there would have been had the
day been milder. The attendance was oft
about 10 per cent
The double daily sessions Plan worked
admirably for the first day. 1t is eX-
pected that day after day there will be
less trouble and that the plan viii soon
be working just as smoothly as the usull
one of single session. SupJ. Ashmore
was well pleased with the success of the
first trial
The double sessions are a novelty. They
carry considerable inconvenience to many
homes, domestic arrangements being in
terfered with and complications about din
ner hours beng created These, however,
are unavoidable Mr. Ashmore appreci-
ates them but is poworless to help. He
saws there hos been no kicking about
the adoption Of the plan, the necessity of
which was recognized. He is grateful
for this and feels that the board has the
support of the community in their effort
to do the best thing left under the cir
cumstances The arrangement is but tenn
pOrary. and will soon be followed by the
restoration of the academy, when the
children may resume their attendance
there.
Four schools ore affected by the new
plan. They are the two that were burned
out and those whose work is conducted IN
