By GEORGE R. HOLMES,

MARION, Aug 10-Done with the pageantries
of pomp and power, done with the trials and per-
plexities of high office, done with the worries of
swift-moving world, Warren G. Harding, twenty
ninth President of the United States tarried while
in the little house of his father today receiving the
affectionate farewell of friends and neighbors be-
fore going on to permanent rest in the shady little
cemetery he helped to build
And while he rested again today in the flower
filled room, heavy with the fragrance Of blossoms
from all the world the great nation over which he so
lately presided stopped its business and joined with
this little home town of his in respect and sorrow
The wheels of great industries stopped today,
commerce ceased it's busting grind; the Government
itself halted-for it came to Marion and clear
across the continent over which he Travelled but
few days ago there weIed the respect and never
ence that free people accord their honored dead.
The light rain that started falling with the break
of misty dawn in Marion did not deter the friends
and neghbors of life time forming in long, sad
line in front of the little house in Center street this
morning somber skies but reflected the spirits of
those who had known Warren Harding for a life
time, and so they formed in that silent procession
past his bier with no thought but to pay that last
full Of devotion that is the rightful heritage
of great and good man.
