Death Of George W. Adams

In the death Of Geo. w. Adams
which occurred at the family hom,
in the northwest suburbs of towr
last Saturday, January 25, 1908
this community lost one of it's best
and most respected citizens. Lung
trouble, following an attack Of
grippe, caused his death.
The late Mr.. Adams was born in
Otsego county, New York, June 5,
1884. In 1910 he, with his parents,
removed to Ohio, and later to Vir-
ginia where they lived until he grew
to manhood. He came to Laclede
in 1865. and the following year
bought a farm in Charlton county
where he resided until 1869 when
he returned to Virginia and
in 1870 moved back to Laclede and
bought the farm near where he
died. He was married to Miss
Celina E. Kendall, a native of
Georgia, December %, 1859. By
their union there were seven child
ren, three of whom, with the wife
and mother, are living. The child
rem are Frank G.. and Clarence E.
Adams of this place and Mrs.
Myrtle Johns, of Milan.
Mr.. Adams had been a member
of the M. E. church and also of the
Masonic order since he became
twenty-one years of age. He was
a man of excellent habits, fine
moral character, and while not ap-
pearing to possess an extra sturdy
continued to be ac-
tive in his accustomed pursuits un-
til long past the age at which men
drop out of the ranks of |
the workers.
Funeral services were held at the
NJ. E. church Monday morning,
by the pastor, Rev. Dug
ger, and the remains laid to rest in
the city cemetery.

To Rural Route Patrons

Postmaster Caywood desires to
cafl attention to the practice of
some patrons of rural delivery of
placing loose coins in their boxes
each time they desire to dispatch
letters instead of supplying them
selves with postage in advance of
their needs.
This practice imposes undue
hardship on rural carriers in re-
moving loose coins from boxes and
delays them in the service of their
routes.
The postmaster, therefore, ur-
gently requests that patrons of ru-
raj delivery provide themselves and
keep on hand a supply Of stamps
consistent with and in advance of
their needs. 1t is also very desir-
able that rural patrons place in
their mail boxes small detachable
cups of wood or tin in which to
place coins, when necessary, in
purchasing supplies of stamps.

Some Evening Reveries.

into good society. By good So
ciety we do not mean fashionable
society. That often merits least of
all this honorable title. A good
social circle is one where sound
principles, refined manners and in
telligent ideas are the characteris-
tics of it's members. Many a young
man has gone to ruin by choosing
the society of the low and vulgar,
instead of those whose influence
would be elevating. 1t is always
so easy to fall into evil, but often
it requires hard work to gain a
sure footing in a refined circle.
But the end is with the effect.
If young man desires to sharpen
his intellect, he will find that a
judicious mingling with society
will do this better than digging
forever over his books. There is
wonderful amount of electricity in
the social atmosphere, and the gal
vanic battery of the social circle
will not fail to elicit many brilliant
sparkles.
If one desires to improve in
manners he can never do so except
by mingling with the refined and
good. Diffidence often keeps back
those who have in early life but few
social advantages. The only way
to overcome this painful difficulty
is to plunge in. It is one of the
most easily cured of all maladies. |
A bath in the bracing ocean of |
social life will enable a person to |
keep his footing bravely.
Your chances of success in life
will be tenfold greater if you have
secured a wide circle of friends by |
your obliging, gentlemanly man
ners- No one cares about trusting |
or recommending person of whom
they know little or nothing except
that they exist in the same commu-
nifty. You will often advance your
interests more by spending a social
evening in a respectable family,
than you will by sitting in your
room and pouring over your money
matters, or writing a whole package
of business letters.
Many men are said to be self
taught. No man was ever taught
in any other way. Do you suppose
a man to be a bucket hung on the
we'll of knowledge and pumped full?
Man is creature that learns by the
exertion of his own faculties. There {
are aids to learning of various
kinds; but no matter how many t
Of these aids a man may be sur
rounded by, after all, the learning |
is that which he acquires himself. ,
he is in college or out Of f
college, in school or out of school, ,
every man must educate himself. 7
And in our times and in this COM
nunity every man has the means of
loing it.
