GENERAL ISAAC BOOTHS
TOMB OPENED BY REL
ATIVES

Some weeks ago The Progressive
disclosed the fact of the robbery of
the grave of General Isaac Booth.
Investigations of this heinous crime
have been going on since, and last
Thursday the tomb was again en-
tered, this time by the deceased's
relatives in legal form. John Booth
and Fulton Booth took a prominent
part in this work and they and their
assistants found that the robbers
had actually taken all the valuables
that were in the grave at the time
of the generals burial, gold epilets
and gold buttons. The general who
was up in eighty years at the time
Of his death, had very fine teeth,
only one tooth gone, and that one
was pulled to allay pain in one of
his eyes-this it failed to do. The
Jaw bone Of this old ard honored
hero was full of bright teeth except
the one described, and is conclusive
proof that the grave robbed was that
of General Isaac Booth who served
in the war of 1872.
It was found that the robbers did
Slot get all the bones back into the
rave vault but left some out in
heir hurried robbery as these were
yound in another part of the grave
wrapped in a red handkerchief.
Another proof of the identity of
the grave was that the vault which
is in perfect form measures six feet
nine inches long which was long
enough to have received the body of
the deceased general. He was buried
in a cherry coffin. A grave marker
was found in the grave. After a
thorough examination and survey
of the surroundings, the bones were
again carefully laid to rest in the
same aged vault prepared for this
man of distinction sixty-six years
ago.
This narrative appears like fiction
, and one can hardly believe that real
life can record such a horrible rob-
berry in civilized land. A reward
is being offered for the arrest and
conviction of the modern ghouls.

COMMENCEMENT
EXERCISES
Held Last Week and Largely At
tended by the Townspeople


The Commencement Exercises of
the class of 1919, Belington High
School occupied the attention of most
of our people during last week The
first feature of this annual event
being the Baccalaureate sermon to
the graduating class, which occurred
in the Auditorium of the High School
building on Sunday afternoon May
18th The sermon was delivered by
Rev, John Mckenzie, Pastor of the
Presbyterian church, who for one
hour held the close attention of his
congregation by scholarly discourse
based on Matthew 25th, chapter, the
principle theme being talents. He
made plain the different phases Of
life, they were clearR defined and the
difference shown. At the close of the
service he was highly complimented
for his efforts to give the class some
wholesome advice to govern their
future lives.
Thursday May goth, was class
night, and the class selected the
scene of an old fashioned school
room, the plan was well carried out
and an excellent program was given.
The Commencement exercise proper
was held iii the High School build
ing Thursday evening May 22nd.
James f. Allen, President of Davis
and Elkins College, Elkins, w. Va,
delivered the address to the class.
His subject was truth. 1t was indeed
a grand talk, giving not only the
class but all his hearers something
to remember that will be helpful
through life.
The Graduates numbered fifteen
and their names are as follows I
Harold Hill, Fax Ernest, Arley Ram
sey, Wilson Brandenburg, Lee O.
'Brien, Homer George, Pearl Harris,
Beulah Radabaugh, Madalon Batch
ford, Kathryn Farmhouse, Beulah
t'orney, Ruth Nestor, Dove Boner,
Edna Lovett and Edith Right.
All their exercises were attended
by the people of our town. At the
end of May and during the month of
June the schools of our land are turn
ing out hundreds of our boys and
girls who have completed the course
assigned. Each of these young
people is prepared in great meas
ure for life. They may complete
their school at this point or may go
on to college. In either case each
has received valuable education
from books and teachers. The boys
and girls have labored hard to com
plete their work and attain gradu-
alton. Schools and communities are
right IN recognizing graduation as an
event of Importance. 1t is well to
make the graduation day one that
will leave delightful impression in
the heart of every student. Then let
us realize that the girls are entitled
to their pretty white dresses and
flowers, and the boys to their new
SUITS. And that every arrangement
that can make the day distinctive and
pleasant should be encouraged. Don't
forget that these thoughtful and hap
Ply boys and girls are the citizens of
the future, who will in course of time
take our places in the community. So
II you can give of your joy to help
make this day little triumph, it is
you who will be the richer by SO
doing
