At meeting of the stockholders of The
Montgomery County General hospital. Inc,
held upon this day. the following preamble
and resolutions were offered by Allan Far
quhar and adopted by the meeting:
Whereas. The Hospital. as well as the
entire community. has lost true friend
and valuable citizen. From the time the
enterprise was first started until the tragic
death two weeks ago Francis NJ. Hallowell
was one Of its firmest supporters and most
efficient helpers. As a memberof the build
ing committee he was untirine in his efforts
to make the undertaking an assured sue
cess. his counsel was always at the service
of his associates and It's wisdom was recoe-
nized by ALL And everything was done
in q spirit Of unselfish cheerfulness as
though 1t was pleasure for him to devote
his time. talents and energy to this worthy
cause. As was truly said by writer in one
of our papers: "A blessing and precious
presence has vanished from many lives.
and all that is best has special cause to
erieve his irreparable loss. His was e
great boyish heart.-the heart of childhood
taken up and matured In the powers Of
manhood. None who knew our genial.
great and good brother can ever become
reconciled to his sudden departure from
the scene Of his splendid activities"
His virtues plead like angels. trumpet
toneued. against the deep damnation Of
his taking off," Every occupant Of the
Hudson car. every member of the gang
that visited the bank on that Monday after
noon was guilty Of foul. brutal and un-
provoked murder. Every man Of them
then and there forfeited his right to life
and liberty for all time.
Therefore be 1t resolved ~ That the
stockholders Of this Hospital. who were
also the neiehbors and friends Of Francis
M. Hallowell. wish to express to his family
by these resolutions our personal grief and
our deep sympathy with them in this dire
bereavement. We feel that they and the
whole community have suffered an irrepa-
rable loss which will endure during the
lives Of the generation who knew him.
Resolved (2) That copy Of these reso-
lutions be sent to the family Of our lamented
friend. and that they also be published In
the county papers.

Tributes To The Memory OF +.
M. HailoweII.

Death has taken from our club one Of
our most beloved and valued members
Francis M. Hallowell was one Of Natures
noblemen. No one ever met and asso-
ciated with him without being benefited.
Though man in every sense Of the word.
and unusually strong both mentally and
physically, he was always unusually gen.
tie. with the keenest consideration for the
feelings Of others. He was always the
same courteous. genial gentleman whether
in the affairs of everyday life or on holi-
day trip.
His sincerity Of purpose and wonderful
tact in sport or play, as well as in the
sterner demands Of life. endeared him to
all with whom he came in contact. There
was magnetism about him which drew
to him close friends from every walk of
life. as was strikingly shown in his inter-
course with those he met on his numerous
camping trips. He was the genial host
and the life of the camp. never discour-
aged and ever ready to do his part and
more. He was always interested in all
that tended to letter his community.
Though man Of decided opinions. he
never wished to force his views upon
others and was reticent in expressing
them, but when he gave an opinion II
showed the result of careful thought. The
Montgomery County General Hospital had
no more constant friend and its successful
completion was largely due to his efforts.
How often we have seen him with saw
and Ratchet helping the owner Of burned
barn to erect some temporary shelter for
stock. How often at barn raisines would
It seem to be his delight to take the most
dangerous places and do the hardest lift
ing. We have been struck with his great
popularity as shown at all gatherings. both
large and small. when every one to man
had only the kindest things to say Of him.
Among other tributes paid to him at
memorial meeting of the Montgomery Farm
ers' Club. 1t was said that he was -Four
square to the world. and that none knew
him but to love him. none named him but
to praise"

At the regular meeting Of Olney Grange.
held May nth, 1920. the following resolu-
ton was adopted. ordered to be spread
upon the minutes and copies be sent to
the family and to the county papers:
Resolved. That in the untimely and tragic
death Of our beloved brother. Francis M.
Hallowell, Olney Grange has sustained an
irreparable loss. Joining the Grange In
1881. no member has given 1t a more
continued and loyal support. Being one
of the most interested members. he was
seldom absent from the meetings. Though
modest in giving his opinions. they always
received close attention and carried the
conviction Of logical mind. Always ready
to assist in anything for the good of the
Order or to serve a fellow-member always
cheerful and true, his friendship has occu-
pied place in our hearts that we will
ever cherish. and we thank God for the
privilege Of having been able to call him
brother.
We deeply sympatilize with the family,
and while we know that the example Of
his upright life will always act as bene-
diction. we pray the Father Of All to "sus-
tain and keep them"

no more than right or fair to select
a Colored man to make the race for
Judge of the Municipal Court, and
they united upon Hon. James A.
Scott.
Mr. Scott served with honor to him
self and to the colored race as AS
sistant States Attorney under the
late John E. w. Wayman. and his
hundreds of friends feel that he is
fully capable in every way to dis
charge the duties which would fan
