war, and the founder Of Burlington,

Another item in the same issue tells
of how successfully Mr.. Cotton oper-
ated his coal mine at Burlington, and
how it is to his credit that the coal
fields of Ward county were gaining so
much prominence.
| Mr.. Cotton lies now in an honored
grave in the beautiful little cemetery
at Burlington near the meeting of the
waters, the Des Laos river and the
Mouse, and every Memorial day it is
decorated with flowers. His wife lies
