Walter r. Buffinaton.

Walter r. Burlington died at his
home in Rising Sun at IL O'Clock
Saturday night, aged 81 years. His
funeral was held Wednesday,
April 6, with interment at Brook
view.
Walter r. Burlington was the
eldest son of Edwin r. and Han
nah P. Burlington and was asso-
ciated with his father and two
brothers in the mercantile business
in Rising Sun. About six years
ago he welded Miss Sarah Scott,
who survives him. By his death
this community has lost a highly
respected and valued citizen whose
loss will be felt in many ways. He
was cheerful and ready at all times
to extend his aid for the better
ment of his fellow man, and was
always an interested worker in the
cause of temperance and other re-
forms. Although an intense suf-
ferer for several years past, from an
affliction which necessitated the am
putation of his left arm and which
later developed into tuberculosis,
he displayed wonderful tortitude
and never by voice or manner
showed his affliction. For the past
year his health had been very del
icate, and in hopes of being bene-
flied by a change of location he
went to Aiken, s. c., about three
months ago, but continued to grow
weaker until his parents were COM
PEELED to bring him back home on
a cot. He passed away peacefully
as Easter morn was ushered in, and
the heartfelt sympathy of the en-
tire community goes out to the be-
reaved widow and parents.
John j. Cornell, of Baltimore,
and Mrs. Mary Way, of Oxford,
delivered beautiful and consoling
addresses at the funeral, which was
attended by a large concourse of
sorrowing relatives and friends.
The bearers were Leroy Passmore,
Wayne Reynolds, Charles Kirk,
Pinkney Kirk, Robert Pyle and
Edward Burlington.
Two pretty floral tributes were
presented by the Advance club and
the young ladies' Thimble club of
this town.

A Mere Mans Idea.

First Impressions are proverbially
dangerous guides unless one happens
to be Of the sex which always has the
gift Of making It's first impressions
rhyme with the ISSUE" says a recent
writer. But a woman always awaits
the issue before she confdes her real
first Impressions to the outside world.
She may ''say things which the male
outsider may mistake for her first Inn
pressions, but they are not her real
first Impressions. They come only after
the event. This, however, Is a pro6tless
DEPRESSION.
