Mrs. Sharp has been coming to Florida for several winters, and while she was in Miami during the winter of 1925, a lecture on “How Worlds Are Made”’ was announced to be given in February by Dr. Harlow Shapley, astronomer in charge of Harvard col- lege observatory.

S. Navy. He was in charge of the radio on the U. S. S. New York and later on the U. S. S. Boston, on the Pacific coast. An interesting incident in his life was after the great earthquake and fire in San Francisco, when he held open communication with the world. Resigning from this position he was, later, commissioned in the World War, where he used his radio knowledge to advantage in the signal marine corps service. Another son, Dr. W. D. Sharp. resides in Cleveland. Mrs. Sharp takes great interest in Key West. Last winter she attended a flower show in Miami and was told by a horticulturist that roses are a failure in that part of the country, owing to excessive dryness and heat. One rose, in particular, pa‘e pink, he told her has no name; but she thinks it is the “rock rose,” so successfully grown in Key West; and she suggests that Key West send a liberal showing ef its wonderfully beautiful roses to the flowtr show there, and especiaily the “rock rose,” which she says should be “the flower” of the Island. The article about the stars referr- ed to by Dr. Shapley as written by Mrs. Sharp will be published in a later issue of The Citizen. It should be of particular interest in Key West, where “the Southern Cross” is more clearly visible than at any other point in the United States.

Her father, C. B.-Farmer, a whole- sale grocery man, became suspicious of Cobb for some unaccounted rea- son after the couple went to Dothan, and began making inquiries. He asked Cobb to leave the city until the matter was settled. Cobb ac- quiesced and left immediately. Sub- sequently Mr. Farmer could find no record of such a marriage having been performed in the Indiana city. It now is believed they were “duped” by some one posing as a magistrate for the fee he got out of the cere-/. mony. The marriage of Cobb and Miss Hollingsworth was discovered to have been legal and therefore binding, in that there had been no legal mar-; riage bewteen Miss Farmer and Cobb. | Miss Hollingsworth’s parents have instituted steps looking toward the; filing of a suit for annulment of. this, mers are 2 Following the exposure of Cobb at Decatur, he was arrested and jailed on a charge of bigamy.
