BROUGHT HERE FOR BURIAL.
Asa w. Adams, Former Well Known
DecOrahian Passed Away at
Waterloo.

Asa w. Adams, a former resident
and pioneer DEBORAH photographer
passed away at his home in Water
loo last Thursday. The deceased
was the father of Mrs. G. F. Baker,
of this city, and enjoyed wide ac-
quaintance here, and news of his
death brings sorrow to many old
friends. The remains were taken to
DEBORAH Saturday for burial, and
services were held Sunday afternoon,
Rev M. Willett of the Congregation
al church officiating. Interment was
in Phelps cemetery. We take the
following particulars from the Wat
erloo Courier:
Asa w. Adams, for many years a
well-known photographer of this
city, and more recently a merchant
policeman, died at 1885 o'clock
Thursday morning at his home, 133
Logan avenue. Death was due to
paralysis and followed a two years
illness For week prior to his death
he had been in a critical condition
and death was not unexpected. His
passing removes a most devoted hus-
band and father, whose presence will
be sadly missed by the widow AMI
children.
Mr.. Adams was born Feb. 26
1912, at Sheffield Lake, o., and
came to Iowa when quite young He
learned the photograph business at
the age of 81 years at McGregor Ia,
afterward moving to DEBORAH, where
he was engaged in the photograph
business very successfully for TWEEN
ty-one years. He then moved with
his family to Waterloo, where he
opened a studio on Fourth street
east and continued in business until
his health failed, about fifteen years
ago. For many years after dispos-
ing of his business he continued to
do special Photographic work which
did not tax his strength to such an
extent as had the studio work. I'm
til his last illness he was employed
as merchant policeman and was
well known among people in the
business district. He was member
of the A. o. U. W. lodge.
On Nov. %, 1866, Mr.. Adams was
married to Miss Emma j. Fuller,
who survives. To this union were
born four children, Mrs. G.. F. Bak-
er of DEBORAH, Miss Jennie and
Cranston Adams, at. home, and an
other son, William, deceased.
The funeral services will be con-

Showing Some Fine Corn.

Heary Rud, the Overland automo-
bile dealer, visited his brother Gill
bert last week over in Waterloo
township, Allamakee county, and
brought home with him few ears
of corn from his brothers farm.
Mr.. Rud has $50 bushels and every
bushel is of the very best. One pc
Guitar thing about it is the fact
that none of his neighbors have any
corr and didn't husk any. Mr.. Rud's
Land is up very nigh. which no doubt
has had something to do with the
fine yield.

from Tennessee 10 Clark county, and so
far as we could learn chicken stealing
is his occupation. He is rather an
unusually bright young man, but seems

from the largest manufacturers in the
country here and the prices paid for the
weed will equal those of any other mar
ket. Not only viii the farmer receive
as good prices here as elsewhere, but the
cost for selling on the local market will
be much less than on other markets.
Our local warehousemen refused to go
into the combine and raise the prices for
selling from Is cents to % cents a hun
dred. The Burley Tobacco Warehouse
Association did make raise of 10 cents
hundred, but our local handlers buck
ed the game and will sell your tobacco

dred floor charges, 2 per cent commits
sion, and of one per cent for insurance
The Lexington warehouses are all 10 the
combine, and many others. The Rich

courteous treatment. 1t means money
