ALIEN REGISTRATION.

The German Alien Enemy regis
tration is over. We don't know how
many there are in Marietta, or who
they are, and we trust nothing will
ever arise that will make further
publicity of the matter.
They are probably all good people,
and law abiding, and Uncle Sam is
just taking a precaution in checking
them up, and keeping his records to
himself. No doubt they prefer Un-

pay the premium on the Treasarers
bond, there was no refusal nor de-
lay on the part of the Board to pay
it. We leave it to the fair minded
public to say whether or not the
County Treasurer has properly CO.
operated with the Board and to the
best inerests of the tax payers and
we would have them judge the issue
as to who has injected politics into
this matter.
You also insinuate in the same Is
sue of your paper that the tax rate
of the County was raised by this
Board last year; this was also un-
true, the rate was lowered $1.1O on
the thousand under the previous
year.
You also state in the same issue
of your paper, under glaring head
lines, that many people from this and
other parts. of the County came be-
fore the Board at their last meeting
making complaints about the bad
roads, this statement is wholly un-
true; no one appeared before the
Board with any such complaint.
The difference of opinion between
your paper and the Board of Com
missioners arose from the Fact that
you could not control the Board in
the selection of the County Road Su-
perintendent at the beginning of the
past year.
From that time you have persist
emily misrepresented the facts in re-
CARDS to the County affairs and we
ask that you publish this letter, that
for once, the public may get the
truth through you and they may know
our position in regards to your pa

he Is trained. Also, the records show
that the killed and wounded among

IN MEM0RIAM
Mr.. r. M. BROWN

The heartstrings Of this COM
munity were deeply touched and
its people, one and all, were
stricken with a grief deep and
sincere when in the early morn
ing of Janurry 3. 1918. Richard
Moseley Brown died of pneu-
monia in the forty-fourth year of
his age, at his country home
near here. Strong, in full meas
ure of his manhood, blest with
lovely wife and happy children
who have not yet emerged from
childhood's day of frolic, the
pride of his father, who, ripe in
years, leaned upon him for CON-
fort and companionship- it was
hard for those who knew him
to understand the ways of
Providence when he was called
from his labors here to rest eter-
nal. But, though the community
is deeply grieved and painfully
sensible of the loss it has sus-
tanned, and though its whole
hearts sympathy goes out to the
stricken widow and family, still
it bows in humble resignation to
the hand of God laid so heavily,
and is happy in the knowledge
that while his mortal remains
sleep peacefully in the family
burying ground in the land of
his fathers, his soul is safe with
its Maker.
Mr.. Brown, son of Susan Eliza
beth Moseley and Richard W.
Brown, was born the 18th day
of February, 1874. His father,
the beloved Patriarch of Roanoke
Rapids survives him. but his
mother has been dead for many
years. His early life was spent
in this community upon his faith
er's farm. When he grew to
manhood he went away to find
broader fields for his endeavors.
He was very successful. becom-
ing the Chief of Construction
for the Consolidated Railways
Company, with headquarters
at Hampton, Virginia. But the
call of his native heath and the
desire to be near his father were
too strong for him. and in the
year 1913 he returned to this
County, where he has since re-
sided upon his farm. Mr.. Brown
married Miss Effie D. Trueblood,
a daughter of Mr.. Sam True
blood of this County on the 2Sth
day of December 1904. She and
five children survive him.
Mr.. Brown was buried in the
family burying ground near his
home on the afternoonof Friday,
January 4, 1918. The active pail
bearers were: W. D. Tillery, ].
R. Baird, J. M. Taylor, L. F.
Rock, G.. I. Simmons, and W. S.
Saunders. The honorary pail
bearers were: DR.. 7. w. M. Long,

L. Hayes, Jr., c. A. Wyche, s.
J. Bounds, Job Taylor, R. 7.
Daniel and w. W. Wiggans. The
funeral service was conducted by
Rev. Lewis N. Taylor. The day
was bitterly cold, the earth lay
blanketed in a heavy snow, and
the large attendance at the fun
eral bore eloquent testimony to
the affection and esteem in which
Mr.. Brown was universally held.
Sturdy in his morals, keen in
his sense of right and wrong,
warm in heart, generous in dis
position, loyal to his friends, de-
voted to his wife and family
we'll may we mourn the death of
such a man.
