LIVING ON HIS WIPES CRAVE.
Queer Abode That Col. Elijah De Hoard, n Georgia Man, Has
 Recently Built

Col. Elijah De Board, of Gilmer co,n United States whose home is over grave. This unusual habitation is not due to eccentricity or for the purpose of attracting notorietg, but is simply T case of loyal devotion shown in visible way to the memory of his wife.
 The recent loss of his partner in life affected him deeply. since which time he has become recluse. His devotion has been carried to an eXtreme, it is thought by his neighbors, as he has given up living in his large home, and has just built a. house on the spot where his beloved wife rests, on the beautiful mountain side near his home. The structure is small but subs tam tial octagon of stone, and on the iron opening into th. single room is the fol- lowing inscriptions: ''One in life and one in death"
 In the right-ha nd corneris the grave of his wife, while a secondary space near by he has reserved for himself, where, at the end, he can find repose. Around tire windows flowers have been planted. and the venerable patriarch spends the days in 'beautifying the sur roundings of his strange home.
 On the anniversary of her death, with the assistance of a local pastor, the funeral ceremony is repeated. The colonel has turned a deaf ear to numerous entreaties of his friends to give up his solitary abode, as he has expressed the desire to spend the re- mainder of hi. days in this tomblike structure.

MIR. Jerry Simpson, some time
member of Congress from the State OF
Kansas, according to Kansas dis
patch, has just sold cattle to the
amount of 1929, and has received ev-
cry cent but 5000 of this amount in
cash 1t was Mr.. Simpson who. as
the Kansas City journal recalls.
stated upon the floor of Congress, not
so many years ago, that the men of his
district were selling their honor anG
the women their virtue for bread. But
that statement was made during the
time when we were trying the expert
ment of change" from Protection
to Free Trade Things are different
now in Kansas, as in the rest of the
country. Free Trade no longer para
lyzes the industries of the country, and
Mr.. Simpson is no longer a member
of Congress. 1t was the return of
economic sanity, which Kansas shared
in common with the rest of the coun-
try which retired Mr.. Simpson to pri-
vate life. Yet Mr.. Simpson cannot
consider this change Of view on the
part of his constituents and others as
wholly unkind to him, for while it re-
suited in his retirement to private life,
it at the same time, as now appears,
made his private life a prosperous
one. And probably down deep in his
heart Mr. Simpson prefers the actual
tiles of Protection prosperity even to
the opportunity of making of sensa-
tional speeches in Congress concerning
the poverty of his constituents, such as
was afforded him in the Free Trade
days.

Governor Nash's proclamation bids
everyone help increase the extent of
the summer arboreal shade on the
grounds of utility as well as of beauty,
for agricultural as well as aesthetic
benefit
Several cities throughout the coun-
ty have become known by the abund
ance and beauty of their shade trees.
In Ohio, Cleveland is called the Forest
City, tribute which few cities of that
class can claim. Marietta is already
distinguished for her canopy of green
boughs during the summer season, but
has yet many sterile places where the
hot rays of the sun beat down with un-
mltigated force. Therefore any ef-
fort to increase the number of trees
ought to receive the support OF all

The Oil Review of the village of
Sistersville hase been making
wry faces at Marietta and cast
ing sighting remarks at the Marietta
Band. Evidently the editor of the
Review had bad night following his
trip here on the occasion of the laying
of our court house corner stone-a gen
uine up-to-date modern, progressive
city was something new to him. And
as to the Marietta Band-well, every
body who knows anything about music
knows that the Marietta Band ranks
with the leading musical organizations
of the country in point of excellence.
Indeed, the entire State of West Vir-
ginia might be raked with a fine-tooth
comb, and as good a band could not be
found. Editor Mccoy might profit by
another visit to the best city in the
uuiverse-Marietta.

PARTY LOYALTY"

Party loyalty preached is one thing,
practiced it is entirely another.
The Marietta Register daily prates Of
its loyalty to the Republican party, but
when campaign time is on and election
day rolls around, in banditti fashion,
it stabs the ticket from top to bottom.
And all the while this is going on the
Register in the confiscated garb of a
sheep, proclaims its loyalty" at the
same time denouncing true Republi-
cans as political blackguards and trai-
tors. The Register has always stab
bed the ticket-it did it last fall, it did
it this spring.
Facts speak for themselves. At the
regular Republican city convention Mr..
r. G. Putnam was regularly nominat-
ed as the party candidate for City
Marshal. Later Jacob H. Dye, Dem
ocrat, was nominated for the same Of
flee by petition. One of the signers OF
Mr.. Dyes petition was
"E. S. Alderman, Secretary and
Treasurer of the Marietta Register
Company"
The above designation of Mr.. Alder
man appears in the city directory, also
on the stationery of the Marietta Reg
lister Company. The signature on the
petition is:
e. S. Alderman, 2O5-4th ST."
The heading of Mr.. Dyes petition is
as follows:
Nomination by petition, o. L. Vol. 80
p 269, Secs 8, 10.
The State of Ohio, Washington county:
The undersigned qualified electors o.
the City of Marietta, Ohio, in accord
ance with the provisions of law, make
the following nomination, viz;
Candidate. Office,
Jacob H. Dye. City Marshal
We certify that we have not sub
scribed to any other nomination OF
a candidate for the above Office, and
we each of us hereby severally
PLEDGE ourselves to SUPPORT and
VOTE for the CANDIDATE whose
nomination is herein requested.
In the face Of such facts as these the
Register would assume to dispute the
policy of the Republican party of
Washington county. But the people
thoroughly understand its bush-whack-
ing tactics, and its greed for gain will
never again be satiated at the expense
Of the party whose name it would dis
honor.

DESERVES PROMOTION
Elmer Hart Appointed Ticket Agent on the
W. Va. Short Line.

Another Washington county man has
received a remunerative and deserved
promotion. sMr. Elmer Hart has but
recently been appointed ticket agent
on the West Virginia Short Line
which connects Clarksburg and New
Martinsville. Mr.. Hart was formerly
located in Marietta and performed the
duties of assistant ticket agent at the
Union Depot. He has, therefore, had
considerable railroad experience and is
an able man.
His friends were surprised by his
marriage, which was celebrated not
many months ago and it is their belief
that he is especially favored by for

The consideration is private. The
