One of Lawrence counties best
citizens and prominent business
man of Adams suddenly passed a.
way. Some years ago Mr.. Adams
was stricken with paralysis from
which he never fully recovered, and
on last Tuesday morning he had an
other stroke and died Sept. 18th, at
the home of his son, Monroe Adams,
and was laid to rest in the family
grave yard the following day to
await the time when Christ says all
snail come forth. A very large con-
course of his neighbors and friends
with sorrowing hearts attended the
funeral His four children, Isaac
and Monroe Adams, both OF Adams,
Mrs. Turza Thompson, of Ellen, and
Mrs. Dock Prince, of Trad, were
almost constantly by the bedside of
their aged father during his short
illness The death of this good man
is not only a shock to the children
and near relatives, but the whore
community mourns the loss of him
who for many years had responded
to the call of those who needed
help. We believe that on the eve
of his death as the soul of Mr.. Ad-
ans left the tabernacle of clay the
God whom he served spoke to him
saying "enter into the rest prepared
for you from the foundation of the

Residents in the North End are
at last up in arms over the con-
tinued nightly explosions at the
Tacoma smelter, and 1t is prob
able that warrants for the arrest
of the smelter officials will be
sworn out if the disturbance con-
tinues, according to a threat to-
day. More explosions occurred
last night, waking up thousands
of persons.
at is an outrage and is vio-
lation of the laws demanding
peace in the community" said
one North Ender today. "If the
explosions continue to waken us
and our children we will ask the
law to help us. There is no need
for the smelter to dump large
quantities of Stag in the bay
they never caused this disturb
ance before, and they can be
forced to desist, In our opinion.
