w. Outerbridge Spates was born in this
county on October 9th, 1878. He came of
sturdy Montgomery county stock. which
had been part Of the bone and sinew Of
the development Of the State for many
years. He was educated in State institu-
tons, graduating from St. Johns College
in 1902. He went next to the University
of Virginia and graduated from the Law
Department Of that institution in 1905.
While there his fine physical and mental
equipment gave him prominence in the
athletic world and made him many friends,
whose affection he retained during his life.
After his graduation he opened an Office
in Baltimore City. but in the spring of
1907 he came home to practice his profess
sion amongst his life long friends. For a
short time he was in the Office Of Hon.
Edward c. Peter, but within few months
opened an Office of his own and continued
a successful practice until his untimely
death. From the beginning of his career
he was interested in politics, and in the
fall of 1911 was elected States Attorney
for this county, taking the oath of office
on January 18th, 1912. and serving faith
fully and efficiently for four years. During
this period he formed partnership with
his brother, J. Roger Spates, which con-
tinued until April. 1915. when the latter
went into the Clerks Office as one of the
deputies. under Mr.. Preston B. Ray, the
present Clerk.
! Mr.. Spates was man Of unusual at
tainments. He was well educated. He
was an unusually good speaker. He had
a fine personal presence and was well
versed in the fundamentals of his profess
sion. Beyond all these he had the mag
netic qualities which attracted and retained
warm and sincere friendships. In his career
at this Bar his fellows were impressed not
only by his talent and abilities, but by his
! strict adherence to the best ideals of the
! profession. He was upright in his deal
ings with his clients. earnest in the protec-
ton of their interests. a skillful attorney
at the trial table. and successful advo-
cate before Court and jury.
He died on July 4th. 1918, very suddenly.
Only a day or two before his death. he
was on the street apparently in good health
and with his usual CHEEKY good humor. To
the whole community his unexpected call
was a shock. leaving cloud of sorrow in
its wake. We cannot but feel that the
death Of so promising and useful young
man is a distinct loss not only to the Bar
but to the people Of the county, whose in
terests he had at heart and whom he was
so well qualified to lead

On Wednesday. February 9th, 1918,
Annie +. Carter departed this life at her
home at Derwood, Nd after a long illness.
She was honest and truthful and always
had kindly greeting and pleasant word
for every one. Her presence will not soon
fade from the memory of those who met
her in the daily walks of life. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. Keen and
her remains were laid to rest in Pleasant
Hill cemetery.
We stand by the place where mother Is laid,
And sadly look at her tomb,
When In whisper we hear something say,
How sweetly sleep here alone.
The TEMPEST may rage and the loud thun-
der roar,
And the gathering clouds may arise,
But sweet is the feeling that is left in my
soul,
For the tears are wiped from our eyes
Go tell our companions and friends so dear
To weep not for me, though I'm gone,
For the same hand that led me through
pains most severe.
Has kindly assisted me home.
BY HER CHILDREN.

In MemorIam.

In sad but loving remembrance of m
two dear children. George Ogden Crown
who departed this life October l6, 1915
and Virgie L. Fields, who departed thi
life October 27, 1918.
Loved in life, in death remembered.
Gone in the best of their days,
Right in their youthful bloom,
Gone from the ones that loved them
To sleep in the cold, silent tomb.
We did not know the pain they bore,
We did not see them die,
We only know they went away
And never said goodbye.
We may strive to hide our longing
In the midst Of mirth and pain,
But we are forever thinking
OF our darling departed ones.
dream Of your faces that loved.
Your eyes am longing to see.
Ill never forget you. dear children.
You were all the world to me.
And though the circle is broken,
And the parting has filed me with pain,
hold as a glorious token
The bright hope of meeting again.
BY their father,
GEORGE F. Crown.

Dear Mr.. Hilton Mr.. John r. Lewis, OF

borough today to the effect that he is a
member of committee for the Damascus
district and that number of citizens of
that section are depositors in the First
National Bank of Mt. Airy. Carroll county

be given to Montgomery county
Gov. Goldsborough referred the letter to

it along the lines of the enclosed letter.

John r. Lewis, Esq,
Liberty Loan Committee, Germantown,
Dear Mr.. Lewis Your letter addressed
to Gov Goldsborough, Chairman of the Lib
erty Loan Committee has been referred to
me.
The question that you bring up b an
old one, and would say that you should
get just as many subscriptions as you pos
slbly can. As the citizens of that district
find it more convenient to use the bank at
Mt. Airy, my suggestion would be to let
them do so. but think it would be only
fair for the bank receiving those subscrip-
tons to place a subscription for an amount
equal to those received from the residents
of Montgomery with one of the banks in
Montgomery, and in this way the county
would receive full credit for the subscrip-
tons taken by your committee.
would suggest that you have talk
with some officer Of the First National
Bank Of Mt. Airy and get the bank to
agree to turn over to Montgomery a sub
scription for an amount equal to that taken
from the people of Montgomery county

by his family. recites the Kansas City

laughed at. In AN the writing of the
Concord philosopher there is not a
joke nor even trace Of humor.
Emerson replied that he never
laughed.
"Oh, yes, you do. father" cried the
family. I'VE hear you laughing in the
garden"
"Wer," Emerson said, ~ do some

boy. but it is foolish and not worth
putting in u pa1er."
Mr.. Conwell said that was just what
he wanted.
Emerson then told about an agitated
young mnn who wrote two letters, one
to his wusherwoman and one to his

Camera Lenses Wanted.

The United States signal corps has
issued an appeal to the owners of all
high-grade cameras. The signal corps
needs the lenses of their machines for
war work. 1t is known that the Unit
ed States bureau of standards has
solved the problem of manufacturing
high-grade optical glass for aircraft
camera lenses, but apparently they
cannot be produced in quantity fast
enough to equip our fleet of airplanes.
The United States has always been II
great field for amateur photographers.
and there are a large number of high
grade European-made lenses scattered
about the country. These lenses the
signal corps wants to buy. Long TO-
Gus lenses working at large apertures
are the only kind which can be used.
