The Ina school also closed on Thursday with Charles MOSBERGER as teacher. No program was rendered but a good school preceded. Tuesday, June 12th, was a day made memorable by a host of people, as this was Barnet CLINTON'S 40th birthday. A congregation of about 250 people gathered at his home to celebrate his birthday. Mr. Clinton was away form home at the time most of the crowd arrived and when he came he was surprised to see such a large number although it greatly pleased him. A table about 50 feet long was erected, while almost everything imaginable was there to eat. After dinner there was instrumental music and also chin music. In the afternoon a short talk was made by Rev. Davis CLINTON which was very pleasing to the audience. People were present from Trenton, Benton, Sessor, Dareville, Fitzgerrell, Bonnie, Mt. Vernon, St. Louis and all over the surrounding neighborhood. At a late hour in the afternoon all departed for their homes wishing many more such happy occasions and wishing Mr. CLINTON many other pleasant birthdays. Mr. CLINTON treated gentlemen to excellent cigars. Mrs. Amanda CLINTON and Miss Emma FENTON, of Trenton, were present at the birthday dinner and visited relatives at this place last week. Mrs. CLINTON is a real old lady and the crowd was delighted to see her present. They returned to their home Saturday morning. Mt. Vernon, IL - The Daily Register - July 9, 1906 FAMILY REUNION - A reunion of the ADAMS family was held at the home of our esteemed citizen, John W. ADAMS, in Opdyke, Ill., on July 4, 1906, at which time were present the following members of the family: Mrs. Julia REDMAN, Norris City; Mrs. Belle PRITCHETT and husband, Enfield; Mrs. Mary O. MYERS, Texico; Mr. and Mrs. Abe ADAMS, Fairfield; R. Z. ADAMS, Enfield; Samuel ADAMS, Poplar Bluff, Mo; D. N. ADAMS and Mrs. Dora CAUDLE, of Decatur, and quite a number of other guests and friends of the family, in all about 50 persons being present. At the noon hour we were advised that a lunch awaited our attention and we were conducted to a cool, shady spot on the lawn and were introduced to a table loaded down with all the good things that could be conjured up by the mind of a good housewife, and amid the pleasant jests and inimitable wit of Dave WRIGHT, we availed ourselves of the opportunity afforded us. This is the first time since 1865, when John W. ADAMS came home from the Civil War, that all of these brothers and sisters had been together and the afternoon was spent in a pleasant visit, after which the guests all departed to their respective homes. This occasion will long be remembered by those present, especially the ADAMS family. Mt.

Mr. Turner YOUNG, who has been agent at New Memphis for several months was moved to Woodlawn July 2 and given the agency there. Woodlawn is fortunate in gaining two such people as Mr. and Mrs. YOUNG for they are two of Opdyke's best, and that is pretty good. On Tuesday, July 3rd, the relatives and friends of J. W.
