HOME DESTROYED BY FIRE
WIFE PARTIALLY CREMATFD


Last Monday night. near IL
O'Clock, the home of w. A. Thweatt.
two and one-haH miles west of
Aberdeen, on the Prairie pike, was
totally destroyed by fire. his wife
losing her life and her body being
partially cremated in the flames Of
the burning building.
Mrs. Thweatt had washed the
family laundry Monday afternoon.
and on account of rain, not being
able to dry it outside, she hung the
garments in the kitchen. near an
oil stove, which unwisely was left
burning when she and her husband
retired for the night. The theory is
that the stove exploded, igniting
the clothing and spreading the
flames over the entire building.
Mr.. Thweatt, so we are informed,
says he was awakened by the sitting
smoke fumes and called to his wife
to follow him out of the burning
building but that she was probably
too overcome with smoke to have
heard him. Procuring a quilt he
ran to the well, intending. so it is
said, to soak it in water and with
it try to smother the flames. but
when he returned the fire had
spread until any effort on his part
to suppress it seemed futile, and the
entire building. together with it's
furnishings. was soon in ashes. in
the midst of which was the charred
and lifeless body of Mrs. Thweatt.
Mr.. Thweatt, with his family had
just recently moved here from
Kentucky. He contemplated buy
ing land in this county, but had
planned to rent next year in order
to become better acquainted with
the methods of farming in this ter
ritory. He had left his children in
Aberdeen and arranged for them to
attend the city public school, and
he and his wife were living alone
in the building that was burned,
The children were to join them so
soon as some necessary repairs on
the home were made.
Mrs. Thweatt's body was brought
to the undertaking parlor of Lam
e. Carter in this city, and a post
mortem examination made. after
which it was laid away in Odd
Fellows cemetery. funeral services
being conducted by Rev. M. F.
Harmon, of the Christian church.
A coroner's jury was impaneled
Wednesday morning and continued
its investigations until Thursday
evening and adjourned to reassem-
BILE before announcing a verdict.

Thanksgiving at Rocky Bluff.

Among the Thanksgiving celebra-
tions one was enjoyed at Rocky
Bluff by children. patrons and 9TH
ers who cherish the dear spot. This
school is now under the supervision
of Mrs. /. w. Rye and Miss Made
Roe Murff. fs
The Thanksgiving sermon was
preached by Rev. James Westbrook I

elegant dinner was served. ne
d. A. Beeks and Joshua Brown
were on the grounds all day with
the registration books. giving OPP
portunity for the women of that
section to register. Each of them
made an address in the afternoon,
expressing their ideas on the neces-
sity and maintenance of the Red
Cross; also giving their views on
women voting. strongly urging that
every woman should register and
vote; that it was a duty to our
country since the law was asking it;
also Christian duty to themselves.
their children and the future South
land.
Another feature of tbs afternoon
program was the reading of poem.

twenty years ago.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
BY MRS. STELLA HOUSTON


This problem seemed q serious note
To give the women a right to vote
Some men, il seems, were not content
To give us q voice in government.
In Red Cross work we did our bit.
We never let opportunity slip:
Even crossing oceans foamy brine,
We ventured near the firing line.
When our nations honor was at stake
We helped to bear it's coming fate;
Stood for right to conquer wrong,
And won. Our flag still is waving on.
When bonds or bondage was the call,
We did not from our duty fall.
But pledged our all for country's sake
To help support the boys lat stake''
The Mothers Club came with its help,
And gave One-fourth it's total wealth
To starving nations. This she gave
To save them from threatened grave
Now, if we must the laws obey,
Should we not have q right to say
Who make the laws and plan the way,
The same as men who live today.
/ think it right that we should vote
And help to steer the nations boat.
So men, just wait, and be content
Wen do our best for good government.
We do not think the ancient way
Is good enough for US today;
Let's practice q new and wiser plan.
OF woman suffrage in our land,
Wen not be bribed: but firmly stand
For the best in our native land.
Then men. be glad and shout hurrah |!
God bless the Woman Suffrage Law!
Caledonia, Miss Nov. 1920.

President Wilson's message to
congress shows that he still wields
q trenchant pen but the diction
OF this last public document dis
closes lack of rhetorical excell-
ence that signally marked his
public utterances during the war
period when he ranked supreme
IN power and influence over any
other man in the wide world.
Mr.. Wilson's ideals have failed of
American endorsement and the
effect il obvious in his failure to
measure up to his own standard
of diction.

Never before in the history of this
section has the business of farming
presented less attraction to the
muscle and Drawn OF the country
than it does now. The high price
of money and the low price of al.
most every character of farm pro-
duction is discouraging indeed to
the army of workers who must earn
their bread by the sweat of their
brows. Optimists p:ophesy that
better conditions will prevail when
the equilibrium of adjustment be-
tween the money forces and the
labor forces of the world have been
established. 1t is difficult for the
average man to see it in that light.
He is Doubling Thomas by ma
ture, because his doubts have been
realized so often heretofore. But
that is neither here nor there. The
man who controls the money must
unloose the medium that ties up
the products and resources of the
country. He must extend financial
aid to the helpless army of workers
who feed and clothe the world. The
remedy lies in his power; he must
relax in order that prosperity NAV
come to all.

WAS MIsCONsTRUED I :

In questioning witnesses before the Fall COM
mittee at Tucson Sunday, "The Oasis" is credibly in
formed Senator Fall stated that the desire of the
committee is to get at the views upon conditions in
Mexico Of many individuals possible, from all
points of view and that the committee was going in
to the subject without feeling or bias either for
against Mexico. -.
"The Oasis" is pleased to- note the fact: From
the letter written by Senator Fall to- MI. Kearfut,
published last week, there arose impression that
the investigation was one-sided, the investigators
prompted by desire to inculpate Mexico and the
Mexican government at all hazards. When the New
Mexico senator wrote that Nogales business men
feared to appear before his committee, lest their
business interests in and from Mexico would suffer,
he laid himself open to such imputation.

of misuse Of paper in the country today is the press

ROW IDEAS GROW

! Longfelow as boy wrote his first poem on how
turnip grows and from that grew national poet.
The newspapers of the western states can claim
to have hammered two ideas until they grew into
national slogans
One was Americanization and the Importance of
adhering to constitutional form of government
and the Individual initiative
The other idea that the press has adhered to and
repeated over and over was the necessity of produc
tion production as against destruction.
The whole country is now talking these ideas
that were first circulated through the newspapers in
the western states.
Some men are sore at criticism, whether just or
unjust; others not annoyed by criticism, but re-
sent bitterly unfair treatment.
