At first glance the above will tend
to show a very material increase in
our County debt. but when it is TAX
EN- into consideration that since last
October we have built and furnished
a Court House costing $9,0S5,O0,
and the further fact that the last
General Assembly saw proper to ex-
tend the time for paying the taxes
of 1882, thereby depriving the coun-
ty of some $l2,000,00 revenue, TAX
ing the settlement made by the sher-
if last year as a basis. In other
words, had we not built a Court
House, and had not the time for pay
ing taxes been extended, a very ma
terial reduction of the County debt
would have been shown. AS it is,
with an increased revenue, by rea-
son of larger assessment of the coun-
ty, it will be but very few years
when the County will be out of debt.

taxable property of the County as

MAxIMS OF BUSINESS.
CONTINUED

PoLITENEss (Continued) - Polite
ness is never a trife and there are no
triies in business. 1t is always we'll to
remember that relations in business
are continually changing. The stranger
to,day may be the creditor tomorrow
aud the harsh creditor one week may
be the unfortunate debtor in the next
The very spirit of true religion is to
love your neiehbOr as yourself and all
know that is true politeness. 1t is a
fact that impudsnce and im~politeness
towards men almost invariably leads
to disrespect Of God. No station, rank
or talents can ever excuse a man from
the civilities due from mar to man.
In addition to the correctness Of these
statements it is also true that Sol
Coleman's is the best place to obtain
a good cigar or superior chewing to-
bacco.

DEATH OF A CENTENARlAN.
"GrandmOther Glover" Passes
Away at: the Ripe Old Age
of IO2 Years.
Cincinnati Commercla Gazette. 2.

NlhoinuAtl commercial daZette, q,
Mrs. Prudence Glover died at the
residence Of her daughter, Mrs. Mar.
garet Swift, at 9:45 o'clock Wednes-
day morning. She was in her me
hundred and third year, having been
born in l779. Her birthplace is near
Maysville, KY, or at least that is
where the earliest years of her life
were spent. At a later period she came
to Cincinnati, and her daughter Mar
garet subsequently married Abram
Swift, a brother Of Briggs and Alex
ander Swift, Of this city. Mrs. Glover
had a son at one time in business as a
steamboat engine builder, and after
ward as a wholesale tobacco dealer in
Louisville. She has for many wears
made her home with the daughter in
whose house she died.
Something wei two years aga IN
her centenary birthday, she was WIS.,
tied by a great number Of her rela.
tives and friends, who converted II
into a festival. One hundred candles
were lighted and kept brilliantly
burning, and no bne enjoyed the festive
season more than did Mrs. Glover.
She was always OF a merry, ioyial dis.
position, and wit, aud humor and
gaiety were her delights. Mother,
grandmother and great-grandmother
at once her heart was open to all, and
her loving nature a~ffectionately m
braoed all who came within her circle.
And thus it was that those bound Ia
her by no tie OF blood called her
Grandmother Glover" Everybody
liked her, everybody loved her.
Her health during the winter had
been better than would have been en-
pected, considering her e2yanced ace.
until within a shori time, when she
took a heavy cold. Last Sunday She
was visited by q friend from the city,
who afterward said to another
WGrandmotbar Glover will never Get
about. agsin." Wednesday morning,
when her ~grandsons, Abram and Theo-
dore, left for the city, she was not no
ticeably worse, but on Change they
received word by telephone that she
was dead. About hall. past nine she
dropped off apparently in sleep, but it
was in death. She had passed away
quietly and without pain.
She will be buried from the residence
OF her daughter, on the Reading roads
this afternoon, at two O'Clock. Burial
private" is announced, but old friends
understand that. mo flowers" but
her life was a fadeless one.
