Obituary.

Ed. Register-Please publish in the
REGISTER this obituary for the benefit
of all whom it may concern:
just at o'clock Sunday morning,
April 18th, 1894, OLD UNCLE ZENAs
ADAMS, of Goojland, Mo-, fell asleep
that long, sweet sleep from which
none ever wake to weep.
He was a victim of Bright's Disease
for about a year before he died, and was
confined to his bed four months prior
to his death.
He came to this State about the
year 1880; was seventy-eight years aud
three months old; has been helpless
Invalid sixty-four years. His father
David Adams) was an old soldier I'M
der Gen1 jackson in the Black Hawk
war. Zenas Adams left some old rel
les. which have been handed down to
several Operations: A pocket-knife
which belonged to his fathers great
grandfather. He was one of the char
ter members of the Baptist church at
Goodland, which was organized about
so years ago, and which is still con-
tending for the truth.
"One gentle sigh their fetter breaks;
We scarce can say, They've gone!
Before the willing spirit takes
Her mansion near the throne"

The entertainment given by Ralph
Bingham and sister. under the auspic-
es OF the Presbyterian ladies, at the
Academy of Music last Monday even
ing, was an excellent one, and attend
ed by fair-sized audience. A multi
plicity OF duties elsewhere that even
ing deprived US of the pleasure of be-
ing present-except for a few min
utes-but those who were more fortu-
nate are generous in favorable express
sions as to its merits.
The old Delano building opposite
Jno. Albert's store is being torn down
and carted away. The lot on which it
stands-or stood-belongs to one party,
and the house TO another; they couldn't
agree; a price was offered for the
house by the owner of the lot, but the
former refused to accept it, and the
building is gone, and we are glad of
it. 1t ought never been put there, it
having been in the first instance re-
moved from Delanotown long after its
youth and beauty had departed.
During the storm of Tuesday of last
week. the lightning was frequent and
promiscuous in its favors. 1t struck
at least three times in the Valley:
once in the north end of Ironton
on the mountain side; once near the
Company's stables in Pilot Knob; and,
again, in the convent grounds in Area
dia. In the latter instance, it struck
one of the large trees in front of the
main entrance to the building; tearing
off the bark and splintering the wood.
Though several persons were startled
none were shocked or injured.
