WILLIAM YEAGER

At the end of long and strenuous
journey of life the Grim Reaper plac
ed the icy fingers of death upon Will
liam Yeager, and ended his earthly
existance at 1880 P. NJ Monday, July
II, 1929.
Uncle Bill'', as he was Familiarity
known to his many friends, was born
on Beaver Creek, near Belington, in
what was then Randolph County,
Virginia, February 10, 1884. Prac-
tically his whole life was spent with
in few miles of his birthplace, and
there is perhaps scarcely foot of
ground in the whole community
where he has not toiled at one time
or another. Born in an age when
the pioneer spirit still predominated,
and in a community where the paths
of civilization were scarcely blazed,
his rugged early days gave him
sturdy physique which, through mod
crate and temperate living, remained
with him to the end and permitted
him to reach the ripe old age of So
years, A months and 2S days.
For many months prior to his
death his aged body was shaken with
pain, but through it all he remained
cheerful and optomistic and ever
thoughtful Of the welfare Of those
about him. A few hours before his
death he called his wife and children
to his bedside and babe them goodbye.
asking them not to grieve after him
but to try to live so that they might
meet him later in better World
where he expected to be awaiting
them.
Funeral services was conducted by
Rev. Rowe, at HOO o'clock Wednes-
day, at the Brethren Church, near
Junior, Of whihh the deceased had
been member and worked for many
years. He had felt the call of his
Country in the sixties, and for over
three years fought under the banner
of the Union, and it was fitting that
his realms were bore to heir last rest
ing place by the aged and trembling
hands of those who had been his
comrades in that terrible conflict.
He is survived by Martha, his wife,
who has been his daily companion
and helpmate for sixty-seven years,
by three daughters, Rowena Hines
Of Dartmoor, Mary Ellen Hines Of
Junior, Dora viquesney Of Belington,
and one son Charlie of near Beling-
ton, and by eighteen grandchildren,
thirty-three great grandchildren and
numerous friends.
Servant of God, we'll done:
Rest from thy loved employ;
The battle fought, the victory won,
Enter thy Masters joy.
The voice at midday came,
He started up to hear
A mortal arrow pierced his frame,
He fell, but felt no fear

MAYOR WILLIAM JAMES, BAR
BOUR COUNTY'S, CANDIDATE
FOR THE STATE SENATE

Mayor William James by profess
sion is a lawyer, but he is some
thing more than lawyer, he is a
splendid butiness man and knows
the value of money and how it
should be spent both in private and
public affairs. He has had FIVE
years of experience as Mayor of
Philippi in handling public money
and as far as we know there is not
man or woman in that city but
what praises very highly the man.
ner in which the affairs of his home
town have been conducted. Mr..
James attitude on economy in pub
lie matters, is perhaps his strongest
Endorsement, and he has not assumed
this attitude since he became a can
didate for public Office, but he has
been preaching public economy for
many years. When you take into
consideration the high taxes we are
paying at present in this state and
the manner public money is being
spent, it would seem that the candi-
dacy of Mr.. james ought to appeal
very strongly to the men and women
men who are paying the taxes in
West Virginia, and if his candidacy
does not appeal to this class Of vot-
ers then there should be no more
complaint about high taxes
taxes from them; it would
show that they are not us
it would show that they are not as
much interested about having their
taxes reduced as they would try to
make you believe they are. Mr..
James platform has been pretty
widely distributed over this senator
ial district and as far as we have
heard it has been heartily endorsed.
But in addition to the things men,
toned in his platform, he stands for
repeating the statute creating the
State Sinking Fund Commission; the
Bulk Sales Law; the law giving the
State Tax Commissioner the right to
appoint assessors to re-assess prop
erty; the law changing every few
years text books in our public
schools; curbing to very great ex-
tent the powers Of the Public Service
Commission or repeating the statute
creating it altogether; and many
other remedial laws which can not
be mentioned here for want of space,
but which would rebound to the adj
vancement and development of the
State of West Virginia. Mr.. James
solicits the support of every repub-
lican voter in this senatorial district
who believes in the conservation and
development of West Virginia's nat
ural resources for West Virginia and
its citizens and in conclusion please
bear in mind also that it is Barbour
County's turn this year to name the
state senator.

LLOYD GEORGE IS
CENTER Of FIGHT
FOUR OF PRINCIPAL REVIEWS IN
LONDON NOW DEMANDING
PREMiER's RESIGNATION
Campaign to Gust Government Head
SurpPeaes ANY NJ Several
Attempts Made In
Many Years

London.--The latter phases OF the
Near Eastern crisis have been accom-
panied by the growth OF political
and newspaper campaign against
David Lloyd George, the British prime
minister. which reached its climax
when the four leading weekly reviews
and one OF the premier's staunchest
supporters among the Sunday news
papers Joined In demand for his
resignation.
This campaign has surpassed any
Of the similar campaigns which the
premier during the troubled postwar
period has had to meet and he always
has successfully circumvented. The
present campaign differs from oil
previous ones in that II is not con.
fined to the premier's natural 20.
litical enemies, but embraces solid
organs Of public opinion of all po.
litical shades.
The basis Of the charges against
Mr.. Lloyd George is that his strong
pro-Greek policy brought the nation
TO the brink of war, which was only
averted through the craftsmanship
and diplomacy OF Lord Curzon. the
foreign secretary, and through the
moderation and tact displayed by
Brigadler General Harrington In his
dealings with the Kemalists.
The gravamen of the charge against
Mr.. Lloyd George and the alleged war
party in the cabinet led by Winston
Spencer Churchill. secretary for the
colonies, is that II has involved the
country at moment of great flnan-
cial difficulty in the useless expendl-
ture of between f2O,000,000 and
f30.000,0O0,000 for purposes In the
Dardanelles.
This campaign Is considered In
some political circles to have greatly
strengthened the conservative revolt
against Mr.. Lloyd Georges leader
ship. which has never been stilled
since February Of the present year
when George Younger, the conserva.
tive party organizer. successfully
thwarted Mr.. Lloyd Georges plan for
spring elections.
Not only has the labor party been
solidly against the premier with their
recent "Stop the war; slogan, but
political observers assert that some
of the strongest elements OF both
wings I'm the coalition are equally de-
termined to bring the Lloyd George
regime to an end.
All kinds Of speculation are current
regarding how the premier will meet
the attack against him. Even pos
sible new political alignments are
being spoken of In the event OF the
attack proving successful.
