Sharp Brother Reception
A reception all his own at which the honors were undivided was the distinction which fell yesterday afternoon to Judge Summers H. Sharp, of Marlinton, a twin brother of George W. Sharp, the new secretary of state.
Judge Sharp was standing on the sidewalk near the annex immediately after the state officials had taken the oath of office when he was surrounded by a group of spectators who showered congratulations upon him. He had been mistaken for this brother by reason of the close resemblance between them. The Judge explained that it was his brother, not himself, who had just become secretary of state, but those in the crowd who did not hear the explanation pressed closer to shake his hand. The informal group became so insistent, that Judge Sharp finally permitted them to believe that he was his brother, and a regular receiving line was formed for his sole benefit.
One man with a perplexed look on his face shook hands with the Judge, looked inquiringly into his face and then glanced to the capital annex balcony where the secretary of state was participating in an open-air reception. He passed on, however, without asking the question which would have explained the situation.
The occurrence yesterday recalled an incident of a few years ago in which the twin brothers figured. One morning Judge Sharp went to a barber shop for a shave. That afternoon George Sharp went to the same barber shop for a shave. The barber could not understand the phenomena until the next day when the two brothers came to the shop at the same time.
