True Americans do not view with
appreciation the uneasy condition In
foreign lands, brought about mainly
by the over-weening ambition OF
strong-minded leaders. We want no
recourse to arms to establish rule OF
autocracy; we are peace-loving ma

because of our liberal ideas, our toll

people, for the people.
We believe we are more likely to
witness a conservation Of our inherit

Millard E. Tydings to represent us in

ORDER OF PUBLICATION
The object of this suit is to procure
a decree for a divorce a vinculo mat
rimonii by the plaintiff, Elizabeth M.
Gunby, from the defendant, Martin
Powell Gunby.
The Bill recites that the parties
were married on or about the Goth
day of November, 1927, in Worcester
County, Maryland, removing thereaf-
ter to Aberdeen, Maryland, but later
returning to Worcester County, Mary
land, in 1928.
That though the conduct of the
plaintiff towards the defendant has
always been kind, affectionate and a.
bove reproach, the said defendant did,
without any just cause or reason de-
sert the plaintiff during the summer
of 1885, and has declared his unwill-
ingness to live longer with her and
that such abandonment has continued
uninterruptedly for more than three
years and is deliberate and final and
the separation of the parties beyond
any reasonable expectation of recon-
ciliation. That one child, Martin
Powell Gunby, Jr., aged nine, was
born as a result of said marriage.
That the plaintiff has been resident
of Worcester County for more than
two years prior to the time of the
filing of said suit and the defendant,
Martin Powell Gunby, when last heard
from, was residing in Martinsburg,
West Virginia.
It is, thereupon, by the Circuit Court
for Worcester County, Maryland, in
Equity, ordered, this End day of Sep
tember, 1888, that the plaintiff, Eliza
beth M. Gunby, by causing copy of
this order to be inserted in some
newspaper published in Worcester
County, Maryland, once in each of
four successive weeks before the 10th
day of October, 1888, giving notice to
the said absent defendant, Martin
Powell Gunby, of the object and sub
stance of this Bill, warning him to
appear in this Court either in person
or by solicitor on or before the 26th
day of October, 1888, to show cause, if
any he has, why decree ought not
to be passed as prayed.
