ORDER OF PUBLICATION.
In the Circuit Court Of Charles
County. Md.
No. l447. EQUITY.
Mary E. Johnson, plaintiff. VS.
Joseph johnson, defendant.

Joseph johnson, defendant.
The object of this suit is to Sc
cure a divorce vinculo matrimonii
by the plaintiff from the defendant.
The bill alleges the parties were
married on or about the 10th day of
July, 1897, and that there was born
OF said marriage one male child.
That they lived together in Wash
ington City, District of Columbia,
until on or about the 30th day OF
June, 1904.
That the said Joseph Johnson. the
said defendant, deserted the plain
till on or about the 30th day Of
June. 1904, and said desertion has

PENDANT has in no manner supported

seen or directly heard from the de-
PENDANT for the past thirteen years.
That the plaintiff is informed that
the defendant is yet alive and lives
somewhere in the State of Vir-
ginia.
That there was born Of said mar
riage, on the 18th day of December,
1909, one male child, which said
child died during the year 1908.
That though the conduct of the
plaintiff toward the defendant has
always been kind, faithful and
above reproach, the said defendant
has, without any Just cause or rea-
son, abandoned and deserted the

to live with her no longer, and the
separation Of the parties is beyond
any reasonable expectation of recon-
ciliation.
That the said defendant is a non
resident of this State, and that the
plaintiff is informed that he is a
resident Of the State of Virginia.
That the plaintiff is resident of
Charles County and has ever re-
tanned a true and bona fide domi-

necessaries of life.
Il is the-c IRE ordered by the
Circuit Court Tor Charles County, in
Equity, this 18th day of August.
1917, that the plaintiff, by causing
copy of this order to be inserted
in some newspaper published in

four successive weeks, before the
18th day of September, 1917, give
notice to the said absent defendant
of the object and substance of this
bill. warning him to be and appear
in this Court in person or by So
licitor on or before the 4th day OF
October, 1917, to show cause, if any
he has, why decree ought not to
be passed as prayed.

WILLIAM F. STONE.

The death OF William F. Stone
in Baltimore on Sunday morning
last removes from life one of the
foremost citizens Of that city and
of this State. He began life as
poor boy, as a clerk, but by in
domitable energy and industry
gradually climbed to the top Of
the ladder. He was not only a
prominent citizen, but early &C
Iuired taste for politics, which
taste he never lost, but increased
as the years rolled on, until he
became the leader of his party in
Baltimore City. He was first
elected City Register of Balti-
more; later he became Collector
of the Port of Baltimore, which
office he held for seventeen years,
retiring from the same following
the election OF Woodrow Wilson.
He then became interested in
banking, being vice president Of
one of the leading banks in Bal
timore. Gov. Harrington APP
pointed him as the minority
member OF the Board of Moving
Picture Censors, which position
he held at the time of his death.
He was also Sergeant-at-Arms Of
the Republican National Com
mittee, in which position he was
thrown in contact with the big
gest men in politics and finance
in the country. He was born
leader of men and did yeoman's
work for the Republican party in
Baltimore City and throughout
the State. He was a wise coun-
selor whose advice will be missed
by the Republicans of this State.
In his death the State of Mary
and, and Baltimore City particu-
arly, loses a valuable and fore
most citizen and the Republican
party a wise, able and capable
leader and adviser.

THE LA PLATA-RIVERSIDE
ROAD.

The people of the western sec
ton of this county have suffered
more than those Of any other sec
ton from bad roads.
The last legislature provided
4 way whereby they would be
lble to have their long-felt
want realized. The first section
If the La Plata-Riverside road
provided for by the last General
Assembly is nearly completed.
Some time since the County
Commissioners advertised for
bids for the building of the sec
ond section. Bids were submit
led and turned down because
they were beyond the amount
allowed by law.
The same was advertised a sec
ond time, with a similar result.
In accordance with the sugges-
ton from a number of prominent
citizens OF the western section
OF the county, the County Com
missioners decided to wave a
technicality in the law and adver-
tise for bids for the building of
the third section, and will do so
as soon as the plans and specih-
cations are completed. We
think the Commissioners are wise
in taking this action, though not
strictly in accordance with the
letter of the law, for the reason
that their failure to do SO would
hold up all road building in that
section until a change could be
made by the next legislature in
the law.
