GEORGE ADAMS — Died, on the morning of the 8th inst of chronic heart trouble, Mr. Geo. Adams of this city aged 55 years, though for a long time ailing Mr. Adams was not considered in any danger until quite recently and the end came unexpectedly and as a shock to everybody. Mr. Adams was one of the oldest settlers, though for several years he lived in Jackson returning here last year and resuming his old trade of blacksmithing, in which business he excelled all others. Deceased leaves a wife and eight children, nearly all fully grown up and hosts of friends who sympathize deeply with the bereaved family. Funeral on Thursday from M.E. church.
