ginia and Maryland county press, the
efforts of The Washington Sunday
Star to bring the city and county into
closer and more sympathetic relations
is welcomed by the country. That the
city also welcomes it is attested by the
fact that the Washington Mershants'
and Manufacturers Association, at
the request of The Star, has just ap-
pointed committee on agricultural in
terest.

tai, Washington on Saturday last, aged
43 years, Regular Mass was sung at
St. Teresa's Church, Anacostia, Monday

Carmel Cemetery, here, Tuesday.
Miss Ridgway spent her childhood here.
She was a most efficient trained nurse
and her health from lingering illness
terminated a useful caoeer. She was a
sister of Mr. Guy Ridgway, now in
France, and Mrs. Cornelius Duley, of
near Groom Station. Her pareuts,
Captain and Mrs. Joseph Ridgway died
several years ago.
Mr.. George Swanson died at his
home, Bowling Heights, near this town
on Thursday, after an illness of several
weeks following the influenza. The
funeral was held from his home on
Saturday at p. M, Rev. F. E. Nc
manus officiating. He was laid to rest
in the Episcopal cemetery. The death
of this most estimable man is peculiarly
sad, as he and his family moved here
from the far West about 1S months ago
to realize his wish to live in a milder
climate. He had improved the hand
some estate and was an ambitious pro-
gressive farmer, whose many plans
were cut short by his death in the prime
of life. To his grief stricken widow,
sons and daughters, we extend our
sympathy in their great loss.
