The opening hour of this term of court

death has again taken toll of our number
and bids us offer our tribute of respect to
the memory of another of our members

in the ascendency of his usefulness, has
been called away from the association of

realm.
Our brother, Charles Norman Bouic, was
born in Rockville thirty-eieht years ago.

public and private schools in this town.

things of life which has since character
lied him. He received his legal training
at the George Washington University, in
Washington, D. c., graduating from that
institution in the summer of 1906. The
following spring he was admitted to the
Bar of the Court of Appeals of Maryland
and entered Immediately upon the practice
of the law in his home county, in partner
ship with his brother, Albert M. Bouic,

fession until his death, January 4th. last. q

gent in the protection of the interest of
his clients, and those who consulted him

to be wrong, whether in the
conduct Of his business. in the church TO
which he was deeply attached, or in the
social and political affairs in which he was
ever interested and active. His honesty
of thought and purpose made him power
for good in his community and won him
the esteem and respect alike OF friend and
adversary. Above all. he was the friend
Of the poor man, the willing and sympa
thetic counsellor Of the humble.
Now, therefore, be it resolved, That this
be spread upon the minutes of
