Daniel Nichols

Daniel Nichols, one of the most
prominent and best known men and
farmers of Knox county, dearted this
life at his home near Bladensburg, on
Monday afternoon. January 18th, aged
7S years and ten days.
He was the representative of ster-
ling old pioneer family, being the son
OF Thomas Nichols, who was a soldier
In the war of 1912, and Susanna (Hen-
dricks) Nichols, who migrated from
Brooke county, Va, to Knox county, in
1923, purchasing large farm in Jack
son township, and upon this farm the
subject of this sketch was born on the
Sth day of January, 1887, and lived
there continuously until his death.
He was married on October, 14th,
1866, to Caroline McNulty Mccain
ment. The immediate relatives sur
viying him are the widow. Caroline M.
Nichols; daughter, Mrs. Aria B..
Houck, the wife of Judge Lewis B.
Houck of Mount Vernon; two grand
sons, Lewis Daniel Houck and Ralph
Nichols Houck; two sisters, Mrs.
Amelia Van Winkle and Mrs. Martha
Mckee.
The subject of this sketch was an
active and faithful member, of more
than forty years standing, of Ohio
Lodge No. 1893 Free and Accepted Ma
sons, of Bladensburg, and the craft will
render its ritualistic service at his fun
eral.
Daniel Nichols believed in the prin.
ciples and teachings Of the Christian
religion and lived them in his every
day life. He loved his fellowmen and
was kind and charitable to all.
Politically, he was a Democrat of
the old school, but loved justice and
honesty above party success, and re-
joiced to know that the most efficient
man won.
In the midst of the hallowed sur.
roundings, where he was born, reared
and lived, and among the neighbors
and friends he loved so well, he passed
quietly and peacefully into the land of
the ideal where all is sunshine and
happiness.

departments are as follows:


Public Service Director White re-
ported to council that the bids ne had
received on improving the west end
dyke were too high aad he did not
feel justified In awarding the con-
tract to any bidAer. This gave rise
to a discussion, long drawn out. of the
best way OF handling the proposition.
Council seemed to favor giving en-
pl0yment to a number Of idle men In
the city. The question Of dyke
fund was also brought up and. on mo
ton, a committee consisting OF the
service director and C0uHCilmen
DEEMS, Weaver and Farrls0n, was ap-
pointed to consult and report back to
council the best means Of creating a
dyke fund. A dyke committee, con-
.sisting OF Councilmen DubiHs'y, Mau-

in this untoward incident a strong ar.
gument to advance to B0b Her en-.
deavor to wean him frora his deter
mined attitude towards Brands offer
had met with little success. In fact.
since the sharp rebuff she had re-
ceived on the night of the millionaIre's
first visit she had touched but lightly
on the matter. She had not conquered
her resentment of her husbands words
and she had gone blindly on in her
conspiracy" with Brand. enjoying the
automobile rides and the small lux
urtes that his advance payments"
brought without stopping to consider
how she was ultimately to earn her
wage
Brand. strangely enough, had not
pressed her for reports. He seemed to
be as willing as she to let the affair
take its course and rely on some final
coup Tor success.
But Jane realized that nearly foul
weeks had passed and that soon Brand
would have to have her husbands re-

SHOW SUPREMACY OF SOUL
Bright Spots In Dark Incidents OF
the Great Conflict Going on
In Europe.

Courage is the universal possession
OF the German, the Englishman, the
Frenchman, the Belgian, the Austrian,
the Russian and the Japanese. The
stories of individual GOODNESS and dar-
ing are so many that they have al
most ceased to attract special atten-
ton. The other day, when the Brit
tsh dreadnaught Formidable went
down in a storm, crushed like an egg
shell by torpedOes or mines. its cap
on the bridge as 1t
sank; and his last words were:
STEADY, men: it's all right; keep cool;
do not get in a panic; be British.
Every officer was at his post; many
of them had lighted cigarettes. This
stirring exhibition of the fact that
the man does not die when his body
falls in the trenches or sinks in the
ocean can be matched In every navy
and army. All Europe is fighting for
invisible things There never was
such universal and commanding evil
dence that the soul of humanity Is su-
preme and nviniCble-From the Out
look.
