The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1914-09-16

roadside in the village of Wilson
vile, there passed from this earth
to its home in Heaven, the soul OF
a man who was loved and honored
by everyone who knew him. His
i fe was to these who had made
his acquaintance, a living exempll-
fication of truth and honesty and
fraDkness.
Uncle David McNabb, as most
everybody called him, was born
June %, 1850, in the Cosby por-
ton of Cooke county. Whatever
may have been his byhood
career, the writer has not lnfor-
nation concerning that period OF
his life, except that those who
remember something of his child
hood and youthful days, say for
him that he was boy OF splendid
demeanor, having a most excellent
disposition to make real friends OF
those with whom he came in cor
tact. He spent most OF his early
life In the Cosby country, where
he made many warm, lasting
friends. One of his nelghbors
and playmates at the time was our
fellow-townsman, Mr.. Gray Allen.
When they played together these
bows cultivated an affection for
each other that lasted through the
many years of their lives, even I'M
to the end.
On July 7, 1880, David McNabb
and Sarah Allen were united in
marriage. They were happy then
and have been ever afterward.
Soon after marriage they moved
TO Wilsonville to take up their
permanent abode on the little
farm, David's parental inherit
ance. Here they lived through
out the remainder of his life,
and there is where the writer and
hundreds of Uncle Davld's other
friends met him and learned to
know him. And to know him
was to like him, for his Scotch
frankness and his Irish dry wit
made a friend of every passer-by
with whom he spoke words OF
friendly greeting. His home was
by the roadside. and his home
was every mans friend. On rainy
days it was the rendezvous fer
those who found pleasure in ex-
changing jokes, creators of hearty
laughs and prolongers of life.
Through the more than twenty
years that the writer has intim-
ately known Uncle David Nc
Nabb, he can truthfully say that
never miss-step has been OBJ
served in, the walk of this mans
.hse. Conscientious, conservative,
reliable, religious, friendly and
neighborly was the kind of life he
lived day after day, and his friends
were every man, woman and
child; and his enemies have not
yet been found.
Uncle David's closest neighbor
was his brother William, who
died almost two years ago. They
were one to the other as two
brothers should have been. For
years they both belonged to the
Wilsonvlle Baptist church, and
There often worshipped in pure
devotion for their Masters cause.
Uncle David is survived by a
wife, well known by her many
friends as Aunt Sarah McNabb.
Cheerful, ways cheerful, kindly,

HOW ENGLAND BECAME
"MISTRESS OF THE SEAS

Mistress of the seas" has been the
proud title Of Great Britain since
that October day In 1905 when Lord
Nelson gave his life at Trafalgar to
establish her supremacy.
No natieH has dared to seriously
question her right to that title, al.
though American frigates did compel
her to cease her practice Of stopping
American ships to impress refugees
from her own land three-fourths Of q
century ago.
But In the pride OF her title and
the size of her ships she has been
able to maintain her title without
fighting until the present war. That
her great feet must now be put TO
the test seems certain.
The greatness OF the English navy
dates from the battle OF Trafalgar,
which takes Its name from the Span
ish cape OF which II was fought. Eng
land was at war with Spain and
France. The allies gathered 80 ships
and five frigates to oppose the "a
ships and four frigates which few the
British colors.
Compared to the great feet OF
steel and armor plate which today rep

no more imposing than bevy Of fish.
ing schooners.
1t was two years after the battle
when Robert Fulton took his first
model for a steamship to Liverpool
and forty more before steam naviga-
ton became general.
At Trafalgar the battleships de.
pended on their broad sails and the
kindness Of friendly winds. The com.
mander must be navigator as well as
fighter. The contest was fierce and
costly. The allies lost 10 OF their
ships before surrendering and gave
over the French admiral villeneuve,
as prisoner. Nelson himself was
killed.
With the victorious feet as a start
and by keeping abreast of progress
and invention England has held her
lead In naval power.
