Death Of Mrs. w. ,. Gilmore.

tits with pain and regretthat we chron-
icle the death of Mrs. SARAH ANN Gill
MORE, wife of Judge w. J.. Gilmore. She
was a lady of many noble virtues, es-
teemed by all acquaintance, beloved by
her friends and respected by her neigh
bors, and possessed of a remarkably kind
and charitable disposition that was ever
ready at the call of sorrow or suffering.
Her loss is keenly felt by all who knew
her here at her old home or her adopted
one.
Sarah Ann Gilmore was born in Ea-
ton, June goth, 1928, where her parents,
William and Sallie Rossman, then re-
sided. She intermarried with w. j. Gil
more September Sth, 184S. Their child
rem, Jackson H. and Clement R., were
born in Eaton, and the latter survives
his mother. In 1875 the family went to
Columbus as a temporary. place of resi-
dence, and in 1880 they became residents
of that city, where they have since re-
sided and where Mrs. Gilmore died April
Goth, 1885, in the 57th year of her age.
Her remains were brought to Eaton and
buried in Mound Cemetery on Friday
morning last, with services at the First
Presbyterian Church by Rev. H. w.
Taylor, assisted by Rev. j. H. Bratton.

Horror Of Mineral Poisoning.

Thousands of persons are poisoned in Amer
lea by the continued use of Mercury, 1odide
of Potassium and other minerals, for various
diseases. The Mercury works its way into
the tissues, producing rheumatism and decay
of the bones. The Iodide of Potassium eats
up the gastric juices which digest the food,
and the patient fingers along in agony or is
glad to die to get away from misery. Swift's
Specific is a complete antidote to all this poi
son. 1t eliminates Mercury from the system,
removes the evil effects of Iodide of POTASH
UNI, and brings back health and happiness

principal we say, that if there is no
prohibitory law, there ought to be,
for some fools who drink too much

who gets drunk only to license bad
tongue or other vile act ought to be
sent to the middle of Maine and kept
there until he learns to so appreciate
the good things Of this life as TO be
able to take them in reason and enjoy
them temporarily. The world would
