HON, WILL D. UPSHAW The above is a pretty good likeness of a gentleman who will deliver an interesting talk at the Methodist church at 3:00 Sunday afternoon, to which the public generally is invited. He is one of the most outstanding speakers favoring the continuance and enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment in this country, Mr. Upshaw, who represented the Atlanta, district, in Congress for several terms, is variously known as the "Georgia Whirlwind," the "Present Day Bryan," the Abraham Lincoln of the South," "The Fighting Georgia Congressman." His life reads like a romance. Overcoming a physical handicap that would have crushed most men.

as 8 sult of a spinal injury while working on his father's farm. he lay a helpless cripple in a plaster cast for seven years, and at the age of 31 fought his way to college where he maintained himself until graduation by selling lead pencils. Ten years ago he was sent to congress where he soon became: of. the Morn Forces in Washington." tor Neely of West Virginia declared white Upshaw was a member on gress William D. Upshaw has done more things to inspire the young manhood of America than any other man before the nation." Over night Upshaw leaped into international fame.

by a ringing, scathing speech in which he called upon every official in Washingtongressmen, senators, cabinet members and even the president, to "begin on yourself if you want to enforce prohibition. and as Sam Jones used to say, will have one rascal out of the way'." The Literary Digest said: "To Congressman Upshaw belongs the credit of awakening the conscience of America on the question of sober officials." Having spoken to over four million students of America he creates enthusiasm among college students everywhere. His address is a masterpiece of wit, logic and striking eloquence. He overcame, to be what he is, more than any living man in America. He sometimes speaks five times a day, and is the last word in southern oratory.

DEATH OF F. H. DOUGLAS H. Douglas was born on Oct. 10th, 1805, and passed away in his 67th year at the home of his son, near Indianapolis, on February 25th, 1932, after having suffered several months of a complication of diseases.

Mr. Douglas spent the greater part of his life in Kentucky, having been with his son in Indianapolis for the past several months. He leaves to mourn his loss his son, Frank Douglas, of Indiana, and a daughter, Mrs. Ina Wade, of McKinney. His wife.

a son and daughter preceded him to the great beyond a number of years ago. He also leaves seven grandchildren and other relatives and friends. Several months ago he gave his heart to God and was often heard to express himself as being prepared to die, he being a partaker of that peace "that passeth all understanding." He was a member of the Evangelistic church of Jesus Christ, of Beech Grove, Ind. Why should we weep when the weary ones rest. In the bosom of Jesus supreme, in the mansions of glory, prepared for the blest, for death is no more than a Friend.

Shrubs and evergreens for spring planting. Iris Hill, tt HANDLING FINE HORSES J. H. Murphy and Sons have a stable of horses at their farm out on the Hustonville road that will make other' stables of the state sit up and take notice when fair time comes. They have just received from the W.

A. Irwin estate, North Carolina, three of as fine, saddle horses as could be found in a lengthy search. There is in training a sauce ow us of Lexington. Mr. Garner is junior member of the furniture firm of Baugh Garner.

Other horses from as far northwest as South Dakota and as far south as New Orleans, together with the good ones belonging to Messrs. Murphy Sons, make a bunch that would make such horsemen as Shelby Harbison and Bob Moreland, of Lexington, grow envious. Mr. Murphy is a splendid judge of horses and his son, "Tommy" Murphy, is an expert horseman, particularly good with saddlers. ANOTHER BASKET BALL STAR a Mr.

and Mrs. Geo. Elliott, of McKinney, are the proud parents of a bouncing 10-pound- baby girl who arrived February. 29th. The young lady has been named "Bobby Jean" and if she lives up to the record of her daddy and mother, McKinney High School will have another famous basket ball player.

It will be remembered that Geo. Elliott was an outstanding star and Captain of McKinney's team last year, averaging 16 points for 21 games that he played last year. George married Miss Mildred Beck, also a player on McKinney's girl team. "Bobby Jean" is a true leap year baby, as she won't have another birthday for four years. MEAT HOUSE ROBBED The meat house of Mr.

Josh Wilson, of the Cedar Creek section, was entered Monday night and six sides, four hams, a set of harness, stolen, His son, Mr. Dee Wilson, phoned to a number of sheriffs in this section of the loss and Tuesday Sheriff Tom Ballard, of Garrard, arrested Dan Davis and Bob Pennington, and placed them in jail George Jones, who had served a term for participation in a murder case, was with Davis and Pennington, but made his escape, 'I "JUST LAK A LAM'" March came in just like a lamb and so far the usual windy month has behaved Itself nicely. Regular spring weather has prevailed and it is possible, though hardly believable, that winter is over. Gardeners will do well to remember, however, that a few robins don't always mean that spring is with tis to stay. McKINLEY NEVIUS BUYS SMALL FARM Hughes Carter sold for D.

F. Thompson his 24-acre farm located in the southern end of Lincoln county, to McKinley Nevius, of Stanford. Consideration private. Mr. Nevius will move to his new home some time this week.
