ADAMS TALBOT COUNTY CITIZEN DIES OF HEART ATTACK deceased was well known in THIS COUNTY HE HAVING TRANS ACTED MUCH BUSINESS HERE FOR ALEXANDER LUMBER CO. A TRIBUTE TO F. D. R. (By Mrs. Annie H. Swearingen) It has been said that history is only a series of biographies of out standing men. At one who sits too near the stage gets a distorted Talbotton, Ga., Nov 7—Pleasant view of the actors only through Narvin Adams, chairman of the the perspective of time, when the board of deacons of Talbotton Bap- nptit criticisms of his contemoo-1 tist church and widely knoyn lum berman, died Tuesday of a heart attack. He was 54 years old Tues day. A native of Talbot county, Mr. Adams was timber buyer for Alex ander Lumber company. He traveled in the south for Frick company, saw mill manufacturers, for many years, and was active in the affairs of the southern pine industry. He devoted much of his time to civic improvements and the activities of the Lions club. Mr. Adams is survived by his wife, the former Leila Robertson, of Talbotton, and three brothers, D. Frank Adams ,of LaGrange, Ga. Sloan Adams, of Talledega, Ala., and Emmett Adams of Hogans- ville, Ga. Funeral services for Mr. Adams were conducted at Talbotton Bap tist church Wednesday at 3 p.m., by Rev. Richard Howard and Rev. E. H. Dunn. The deacons of the church served as honorary pallbearers. Active pallbearers were: Thos. H. Mahone, Hamp Weston Jr., J. F. Alexander, Basil Allen, Howard Green and Thos. R. Slade. petit criticisms of his contempo laries aie forgotten, can we see a great man in his true stature. George Washington, whom we now revere, was grossly vilified in his lifetime by certain newspapers and politicians, who even went so far as to produce forged letters in which he was supposed to advo cate the abandonment of the Revolution, and who accused him of drawing more than his salary, and urged that he be guillotined. His second term in office was so embittered by these attacks that in a cabinet meeting in 1793 he said that “he had never repented but once of missing the opportuni ty to resign and that was every moment since”. In our own gene ration we have seen history vindi cate Woodrow Wilson and have seen him take his rightful place among the immortals. In looking at the men who occu py the world’s stage today, let us take the long, historical view and appraise fairly their contributions to the great play being enacted before our eyes, seeking only to find the truth. Leading the parade of personalities is the man who has dominated the American scene ever since March 4, 1933, when he became President of the United States and who, since the beginning of the Second World War has shared the world spot p i j' Railmai, light with other important world ( V»Cllll 01 ndllWdy figures.
