DEATH OF JOHN H. ADAMS.
Our community was saddened by the an
nouncement of the death, on Saturday after
noon last, of John H. Adams, one of its old
and most esteemed citizens. He had been in
feeble health for some years, suffering, at times,
great inconvenience from asthma. Latterly,
complication of diseases attacked his sys-
tenn and during the previous two weeks it
had become evident that he could not long
be among US. He passed quietly and serene
ly away at 2.45 p. M, on the Sd instant.
Mr.. Adams was born in the vicinity of
Bethel, in this county, in the year 1911. At
the age of about twenty years, he came to
Yorkville and entered into business with the
late Col. VIM. Wright. At the age of thirty
years he became a member Of the Presbyte-
rian Church of this place, and some years
later was selected as one of its deacons, and
subsequently one of its elders, which latter
position he continued to hold through the re-
naming years of an honorable and useful
life. After a residence here of some years,
he began business as merchant on his own
account, and continued this vocation (except
for an interval, from 1868 to 1867 until the
day of his death.
He was conspicuous as man of firm and
pure character; possessing exalted ideas of
duty, and living we'll up to his own high
standard of faith and morals. His benevo-
lence, always exercised without ostentation,
has advanced many public and private char.
tiles, and his death produces void in the
community which will be recognized for
long time to come.
The funeral services we're conducted in the
PRESBYTERIAN Church, on Sabbath afternoon,
by Rev. H. r. Dickson, pastor, assisted by
Rev. R. Latham, of the Associate Reformed
Church. On Monday, his remains were con-
veyed to their last resting place at Bethel,
where rest long line of ancestry and kindred.

THE LATEST KU-KLUx CASE.
A few days ago, Reuben Coins, of color,
otherwise known as Reuben Shedd, but which
latter cognomen he repudiates, caused to be
arrested and arraigned for trial before Trial
Justice Wagner, James Finley, S. W. Ro-
binson and Isaac Griffin, citizens living about
three miles from town, on the serious charge
of intimidation with intent to bury. Major
j. F. Hart appeared for the complainant and
T. j. Bell, Esq, for the accused. Reuben
was occupied several hours in giving in his
testimony. 1t appears from his story that he
had been for long time living in great bodi.
" fear; that S. w. Robinson, on whose land
he is living had made threats against him, of
which he had been informed by John Robin
son and Isaac Griffin, both of whom had told
him that in addition to the threats of violence
that had been made, Mr.. Finley and S. w.
Robinson had even gone so far as to dig the
grave in which to quietly and forever hide
from mortal view the cadaver of the aforesaid
complainant, after the direful threats of the
accused had been consummated. The loca-
ton of the grave was given, and being fond
of excitement as Reuben is he lost no time in
visiting the spot, where, sure enough, he found
