Coda B. Carr daughter of Cora " and Jesse P.
Carr, aged Is years, month and days.
Ny heavenly home is bright and fair,
For praise nor death can enter there;
It's glfltering towers the sun outshine
That heavenly mansion shall be mine.
Prepare my friends to mourn and weep,
Whilst sweetly in the dust sleep,
And when you come my grave TO see,
Preprre yourselves TO follow me.
Prepare in time, make no delay,
For was quickly called away.
None knew her but to love her,
None named her but to praise.
BY HER PARENTS.
On November 10, 1897, at Eastview, Md. Miss
Della NJ Ogg in her 18th year, beloved daughter OF
George W. and Laura F. Ogg, formerly OF Carroll

We have laid her In her silent grave,
With her father and brothers and sisters to rest,
For four long years we have missed her.
Dear Della has gone for ever,
Like the happy childhood days,
And the loving voice shall never In our homes
be heard again.
How Lonesome Is every spot. BY HEB MOTHER.
On November ID, 1907, Mervin Hsines Killer, aged
13 years, months and 10 days, son of Charles and

Gone, carried up home by the angels,
Where none Of those sckehing diseases
Can ever reach our Mervin again,
We miss him, yes, constantly miss him,
We think we can now hear his cry
Come up here, my mother and father
The people here never more die
BY HIS PARENTS.
One we loved has died and left Us
For the dark and silent tomb,
Closed his eyes in peaceful sumber,
Faded in his early bloom
flove and care could death prevent,
Thy days would not so soon be spent;
Life was desired, but God did SEP
Eternal life was best for thee.

Ex-Governor Brown.

In all the rejoicing over the result OF
the election last week, Democrats through
out the State are not forgetting the part
PLAYED by Ex-Governor Frank Brown III
whom Carroll County feels especial pride,
as he is one of this county most distin-
guished sons, and the only native Of Car
roll who ever became Governor Of Mary
land. He took charge Of party affairs in
Baltimore City at a time when chaos
reigned supreme, and by his wise and firm
management brought order out of that
chaos and elected the entire Democratic
city ticket in May last. He did not stop
at that, but retained firm control over
party affairs, and it was largely through
his wise and unselfsh influence that Judge
Crothers was nominated, and with the rest
of the ticket elected last week. Governor
Brown could have been the nominee for
Governor himself without any contest, but
he declined the honor When the crisis
came in the convention, it was his counsel
that settled the matter in favor Of Judge
Crothers. He could easily have been the
choice of the voters at the senatorial pri
maries, but he declined to be candidate.
He contributed his time, and largely Of
his means, to the campaign, and the credit
for the success Of the gseat fight in Balti-
more City is given to him by all who know
what was done and how it was done. And
he wants nothing, except to see the party
fulfill its pledges, and deserve the conf
deuce reposed in it by the people Of the
State.
Governor Brown is an honor to the State
and the Democratic party. He deserves
anything he wants from the people, but he
wants nothing. Long may he live to honor
Maryland and the Democratic people there
of. His native county is proud Of him
and salutes him with enthusiasm and heart
felt sincerity.

Great Billiard Playing by Mr.. Fisher
Wantz.

The Baltimore American of November 10
says:
So large was the crowd last night at Klein s
parlor, where the amateur State billiard
championship is going on, that one table was
put out of commission and only two of the
four games scheduled were played.
The center of attraction was the Wantz-
Liuhard game. Mr., Wantz, of Westminster,
with four games won and none lost, and Mr..
Linhard, of this city, with three won and none
lost, furnished the real entertainment. Lin
hard won by $50 points to 81.
While the natural desire was to see the local
man win, the spectators displayed no PARTIAL
ty. On the contrary, they gave each con-
testant applause for the difficult and brilliant
shots made. Linhard played the better game,
but the worries rolled badly: The Westmin-
ster man made Merry, uphill finish.
In the SECOND game Wantz got revenge at
the expense of Villiers, whom he easily de-
feated by $50 to SO. A number of Westmin-
ster roots were on hand.
Last night Mr.. Wantz kept up his great
playing BY defeating Blakesley and Blumen;,
field. MI. Wantz has one seven games and
lost one.

a Serious Accident at West Falls.

A very serious accident occurred at West
Falls at noon Wednesday when the boiler
of the engine of the West Falls Creamery
owned by Mr.. j. w. Wilson. burst and
which will probably cause the death of Mr..
Wilson. Mr.. Nimrod Nicodemus is also
injured, but his wounds are not thought to be
as serious as those of Wilson's. The me1 were
separating milk when the accident occurred.
Something became wrong with the separator
and the men were trying to FIX it. Mr.. Nico-
demus escaped by jumping before be was so
badly injured. The doors were closed and Mr..
Wilson could not get ont and finding he
would be scalded to death jumped into the
water tank to save himself. Mr.. NicOdemus
ran to the store of G. E. Browning, where aid
was obtained and the men were taken to the
home of L. j. Kemp, where they were cared
for by the neighbors until Drs. Brumell and
Gaver arrived, who dressed their wounds and
did all they could to relieve the suffering
men. They we're later taken to their homes
at Mt. Airy, where Mr.. Wilson is lying in
precautions condition.

':Gaither will change this election
law, said Mr. Huber to grumbling Re-
publican voter on election day. The
election law may be changed, but it will
not be done to please Repub licans, who
complained of their own law when their
party was in power, nor will it be changed
by Mr.. Gather who was repudiated by
the people at the polls. Mr.. Huber will
have to rest content with such changes as
the Democrats may make, and Repubi-
cans will not be consulted when it is done.

How long she struggled against disease
That baff1ed skill and care;
How long she fingered racked with pain,
And suffering hard to bear.
Gone in the best of her days,
Blghted in girlhood's bloom;
Torn from the hearts that loved her
To sleep in the silent tomb
Mourn not for me- my life is past,
You kindly loved me to the last
Prepare yourself, do not delay,
For was early called away.

Never shall your memory fade;
Sweetest thoughts will ever finger
