On Monday, the fifth instant David
Stoner died in Westminster, at the

secutive years, much of the time being
President of the Board. lie devoted
most of that long period to the bust
ness which the office imposed upon
him, there were not many secular
days that did not find him at his post
Of duty, and that too without any
extra compensation How to keep
down the tax rate without detriment
to the county's legal obligations was
always uppermost in his thought. He
made the concerns of the county his
own, and managed them with the
same fidelity and economy that char
acterize his conduct OF personal af-
fairs. With him public office was
truly public trust. Would we had
more like him.
