and shocked to hear of his sad death,
which occurred Sunday afternoon,

he was on the streets apparently in
the enjoyment of good health. But
Thursday afternoon, however, ne was
taken suddenly ill, soon lapsing into a
comatose state, from which condition
he never rallied. That fatal malady,
Bright's disease of the kidneys, was
the cause of his death. Mr.. Burns
was native of York county, and was
born February 2Sth, 1888. He was,
therefore. in bis 6Sth year. The most
of his life was spent in this county,
though for brief periods, many years
ago, he resided in Charlotte and Mon
roe. On the 9th of November, 1860,
he was married to Miss Salina Massey,
daughter of DR.. 81. V. Massey, who,
with four children, namely, Mr.. w. H.
Burns, of Greenville Mr.. G. I. Burns,
of Washington, D. c.; Mrs. S. n. Wat
son and Mr.. Frank Burns, OF this
place. survive him. Mr.. Burns was
more than once chosen by the people
to fill positions of honor and trust.
He served as coroner of the county for
four years, and as magistrate for six
wears. He also served his country as
a soldier in the war between the states.
Of generous impulse, equable disposi.
ton, genial nature, kindhearted and
loyal to his friends, Mr.. Burns was in
deed popular with all who knew him.
He was a devoted husband and father,
and a kind, considerate neighbor. He
enjoyed the companionship of his
friends, and always cordially welcomed
visitors to his hospitable home. He
took a great interest in public affairs,
and was a close student of current
events.

dismissed Thursday evening. A large
number of cases were disposed of by
judgments by submission, and the
