NATH OWEN GOES TO HIS RE-
WARD.

Big hearted Nath Owen is dead
Born, August 18th, 1872, at Buena
Vista, Carroll county, most Of his
life was lived here and the final sum
mons came to him at 5:45 o'clock, a
M, last Saturday, July 9th, after long
disability from a combination of bad
disorders. However, the end came
to Nath sooner than was expected by
his relatives and friends, for he was
able to be up in town but a few days
before his death.
Nath Owen was a son of Nathan
and Mrs. Martha Owen and when he
came to Lexington in 1884, his moth
er was widow and he was a boy IL
years old. His real name was Tom
Brown Owen, but you never heard
him so called.
His mother died a few years ago,
the wife of the late ESQ. Martin Hare
who was always paid the highest res
pect by his stepson.
His education was liberal and his
intelligence above the ordinary. In
his work he was efficient and he was
capable of success in business, but all
his life Nath would rather do work
without compensation for anyone who
treated him well, rather than to re-
ceiye deserved pay for his services,
He was one of the planest of men in
his speech and above all hated hypoc-
risy and deceat. He loved his friends
but he rarely visited in private homes
for instance, our own domicile,
where he knew a welcome always
awaited him.
He leaves many relatives, but
the closest were a sister and brother
of his mother, Mrs. AID. Crook and
Mr.. E. F. Boswell, of this place, who
were with him at the last.
He died in the Hotel Lexington and
there his funeral service was held,
Elder j. c. Lewis, of the Christian
Church, an old time friend of the de-
ceased, officiated. Mathis religious
belief was that of the Christian
church.
We shall miss our friend, for in
deed he was such. We shall miss his
daily calls at our office, for many
years he has always been granted ac-
cess to anything we had.
The floral offerings came from real
friends and they were placed on the
mound which covered his mortal re-
mains when he was laid to rest in
Lexington cemetery last Saturday af-
ternoon.

De Valara, president of the Irish
Republic has agreed to meet the
British premier, Lloyd George, in con-
ference on Thursday of this week
but after the truce was on, a little
scrap in one Irish city resulted in the
killing of fifteen persons and wound
ing hundred. Reports which gen
orally reach the newspapers mostly
favor the British and lay blame
on the Irish-we mean the real irish,
not those with "yaller streak" or
those who toady to the British. The
English may suppress the Irish by
sheer force of numbers, but the price
paid for it will continue to "stagger
humanity"

THE SLANDERER.

Murder in the first degree several
times magnified and intensified
that's SANDER.
The meanest devil on earth is the
SANDER devil, be he a man or be she
a woman. One who would attempt to
betray the reputation Of another In
the hands and mouth of his fellow
sinners aligns himself with Ananias,
Judas Iscarot and Satin himself. No
lower character, no more contempt
ible, scurrilouis, reprehensible, incor-
rigible cur walks the earth than the
murderer of ones good name No
words are written, printed or "cussed'
that are strong enough to character
ize his diabolicalism.
The chief earmark of the slanderer
is his predisposition to the very thing
he accuses his victim of: this is prac
tically the invariable rule. Be the
slanderer professional, official or pri-
vate in life, he has somewhere in
the darkest closet of his own misera-
bic existance the very skeleton that
he endeavors to fasten upon his VIC
tim. His mind runs that way. Things
like that appeal to him more than
anything else His activities along
those channels seem more easy and
congenial and il confederates in the
propagation of poison are desired he
can find them among his former as
sociations in similar experiences.
There is nothing too mean for a
slanderer to do. There are no words
to strong to use in describing him.
If murderer should hang seven feet,
the slanderer should drop seven hun
dred-or be buried alive. face down
ward, so the more he scratches the
further from decent people and the
nearest to his father, the Devil, he will
get.-Vidalia tGal Advance.

ENTIRE CABINET
 QUESTION ENDED
No Evidence of Apprehension Regarding Final Decision of
 Herbert Hoover
By Associated Press

St. Augustine, Fla. February 3.-Al- though formal acceptances still were to be received tonight from three of the men selected for membrship ip President elect Hardins's cabinet the feeling of those close to MT Harding was that the whole question was as good as settled.
 Despite some published reports about the attitude of Herbert c. Hoover, chosen for Secretary of Commerce. there was ing his final decision. It is understood that he was felt out indirectly on the subject some time ago, and that nothing has reached the President-elect to indi- cate that his position has changed. The general belief is that a communication forn-.iv accepting the appointment will be received here withinl the next A hours.
 A formal acceptance from James j.. Davis. selected for the labor portfolio, also is expected shortly. and Edwin Denby. Mir Harding's choice for Secretary of the Navy is on his way here for conference that is believed certain to seal his appointment MT. Denby is to see the President elect Friday.
 Tn President-elect would make no com ment today regarding any of these selec- tions and definite announcements regard ing them are not expected later unless there is some upset in the cabinet slate. Except for the two appointments already definitely announced it is regarded as unlikely that Mir. Harding will make known any of his cabinet selections of- ficially until inauguration day.
 It is believed improbable that dennite announcement will be made regarding the choice of George B. Christian IT,, to be secretary to the President. It is under stood, however, tha. positive decision has been reached on the subject, and that Mr. Christian. who has been Mir. Hard ing's private secretary for the past six years. will go into the White House with his chief

Lafayette. Ga, February 2S.-Fred Williams, who went away to war in 1917, will return home in a few days to find his body buried here, his war insurance policy paid and his bride, the wife of another.

 The war department reported Will Hams killed in action soon after he went to France, paid his widow his insurance and then sent a soldiers body here as his.
 Williams wife, whom he had mar red but a few months before he left mourned him for a while and then married a former. sweetheart. Joseph Robertson.

MUSCLE SHOALS| IN FINAL FIGHT TODAY

 Washington, February 23. -tSpacial) lon the theory that the Muscle Shoals siO 0ooooo will be thrust before the House tomorrow, the. membe@ of the Alabama delegation really got busy today. Tonight, for the first tine, there prevails spirit of hope, if not confidence.
 Representative Almon of the, Eighth district arranged pairs for absent friends of the measure wherever pos 1 sible and Representative Dent of the Second district did some very effective campaigning. Senator Underwooo made personal appeals to several mem bers of the House with whom in other days he was associated
 The representatives of the National Farm Bureau federation, who can vassed the field today report tonight that the item will be sustained by a majority of 15 votes. This estimate, however is regarded as too ample. It is definitely established, though. that the result, in any event. will be un- lcomfortably close
 The Alabama delegation is specially aroused because of the certainty that Muscle Shoals wins Or loses perma- : Inently on the issue tomorrow. If the effort to win in this Congress fails, it is certain that no success will be possible after the republicans seat their overwhelming majorities in .he extraordinary session. Senator Underwood does not think that personal appeal to the new President would contravene the parti- san passion which the mere mention of Muscle Shoals incites. However, If the fight tomorrow proves a losing fight. he will. of course, go to MT. Harding following bis inauguration.
