DIR. Amos Evans was born January
26, 1888, and died October 8, 1901. He
was aged 63 years, 8 months and Is
days. After spending his boyhood
days on his fathers farm, near this
place, and working diligently to OBJ
tain an education, he went to Cincin-
natl and entered the Office of Prof.
James j. Taylor as student of den
tistry. After serving as an napprentice
he entered the Ohio Dental College at
Cine innati, and graduated from that
institution with the honors of his
class in 1861. He began the practice
of his chosen profession in Hillsboro,
and for forty years he had been a
notable figure in this community, not
only in his profession, but as citi-
zen of pure life, of honest purposes,
and of high regard for the opinions
and feelings of others. On November
2i, 1877, he was united in marriage. to
Miss Jennie s. Duckwell, who, with
three children, two sons and one
daughter, survive him. How much he
loved his home and his family, no one
outside of that broken circle will
ever know. He was man of gentle
liberal spirit, charitable and forgiv

not say word In praise, he said
nothing. Although not directly con

and this belief was exemplified b.
his daily walk and conversation
There was much in his life that wa

Do the people realize yet that the
legacy of debt left by President Cleve-
land at the close of his last admins
tration, all Of 1t accumulated against
the United states treasury unler lis

party, amounted in principal to $780,

to S501 1,S43,SS0? Not until 1925 can
the last of this debt be cleared off. be-
cause there was no provision in the
agreement giving the government the
chance to pay should 1t be able. Prob
ably the Democratic financiers never
figured upon the ability of the United
States to pay its debt, as that never
happened to the country when their
party was in power, the Cleveland ac-
ton being only repetition of what
happened under the Democracy's last
previous president, James Buchanan.
Now, note the contrast. During
the last three months Secretary Gage
has bought in the market $500, 900
Of United States bonds, for which he
paid $24,000,000, and upon which all
interest has thus been stopped. Dur.

Of the expenses of the government.
The expense reduction for the quar-

a million dollars every business day.
Meanwhile the general business of the
country has been so much greater
than expected by congress that the
tax reduction, instead of being 10
million dollars for the quarter, has
been less than million dollars.
AS a consequence of this condition
of things, the United States treasury
closed the quarter with the largest

Obituary..

Mrs. Lucinda Weaver, wife of
Jacob Weaver, was born near Morrys-
town, June Is, 1886, departed this life
September Il, 1901, aged 65 years, 2
months and 26 days. To them were
born nine children, six sons and three
daughters, two of whom have gone on
before, one dying in infancy and one
about seven years ago, leaving four
sons and three daughters. Mrs
Weaver united with the M. E. Church
when comparatively young and lived
a consistent life until death. The
bereaved husband has the sympathy
of the entire community.
All that knew her only knew to
love her. She has laid down her
work here on earth and entered into
her rest to await the coming of her
beloved husband and children. Why
should we mourn for her for sooner or
later we must all cross deaths dark
river and God has simply called her
little before us. Not dead as we al
ways say but gone from this earth
where all things endure forever for
thousands of years compared to
eternity.
Mrs. Weaver's cheerful disposition
won for her host of loving friends.
In her death the husband and child
rem will miss the sweet face and
cheerful voice of most loving and
dutiful mother. The older people of
the community will miss the presence
of cheerful and loving friend. Yet
to the husband, children and friends
we say, let us strive to be patient and
60 to our Savior for comfort for He
alone can comfort the sorrowing and
He is friend that sticketh closer
than brother.
The funeral took place at the M. E.
Church on Monday, Rev. E. G. Ham
ilton and Rev. Bailey officiating,
after which the remains were laid to
rest in the beautiful cemetery at
Buford, there to await the dawn of
the resurrection morning. ~

This IL true of the other roads. The
coal roads are doing an immense bIsi-

one-sixth increase in the amount to
be paid in taxes is the record from
the official figures for the people Of
Cleveland as the result of the reforms
In which Mayor Tom johnson has had
such hand there, and about which
so much noise has been made. For
every dollar Of taxes paid upon any
property the past year, 16 cents more
than that will be paid the coming year
under the Tom Johnson system. The
rate Of taxation has been reduced, to
be sure. from 80 mills tc 26.7 mills;
but the amount of taxable property
upon the duplicate, or rather the valu-
alton put upon the property on the
duplicate, has been increased from
$3.50, 100000 to 200,C00,000. so that
the actual result is that the taxpayers
of Cleveland will have to put up, as
the price of permitting Tom Johnson
to rule over them, $4,000 more in
the coming year than they did year
ago. Every dollar of taxation then
will now amount to s1.16.

Hanna, when asked by Chairman Dick
az to his active participation in the
campaign in Ohio this fall. In that
spirit the campaign will be conducted
until the close of the polls and the
counting Of the ballots. The Repvbli.
can party owes duty to the people
and will not be laggard in fidelity Of

opened by Senator Foraker, will be
conducted in the light of the princi-

state issues or national isues--the Re.

points and too firmly intrenched in
the confidence of the people to allow

Obituary..

Miss Sara Myrta Pavey died at the
family residence, 1414 North Nevada
Avenue, Colorado Springs, Colorado,
Thursday, October 10, at $50 a. m. of
heart trouble.
Miss Pavey was born in the village
of Leesburg, Highland county, Ohio,
March 6, 1878. She was the daughter
of the late Alonzo Evans Pavey and
Mrs. Rebecca Miner Pavey now Mrs.
E. Worthington Cox, of Colorado
Springs. Miss Pavey had the mis-.
fortune to be left fatherless at the
age of six months. She inherited
many of her fathers traits not only
resembling him in personal appear
ance, but in mind, character and in
tellectual attainments.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cox removed to Canon
City, Colo, when Miss Pavey was ten
years of age for the benefit of her
health, removing in 80 to Colorado
Springs where they have lived con-
tinuously up to the present time with
the exception of one year in Ohio and
three winters in California. Miss
Payey has always been interested, as
far as her health would permit, in
philanthropic, educational and patri-
otic societies. Her long cherish ed
desire to go through college had to
be given up. In place of this muc h
time and thought was given to the
selection of library. AS result
she owned one of the choicest private
libraries in the city of Colora do
Springs, to which additions we're con-
stantly being made. In great
measure these books compensated for
things given up, living in close touch
with the best minds of every age.
Geology occupied much of her time
for several years, collecting and
arranging dne cabinet Of specimens
with the aid of her cousin, Mr.. Ernest
B. Beeson. fr . F5,9
AS a member of Jebulon Pike
Chapter, Daughters of the American
Revolution she was intensely interest
ed in all patriotic work as far as her
strength would permit, especially all
work done to honor the memory of
our revolutionary soldiers.
Miss Pavey's own family history
was replete with interest, her ances-
tors on both the paternal and mater
nal side being revolutionary patriots.
The funeral service were held Sum
day October 18th, from the late resi-
dence and were conducted by DR..
James B. Gregg, pastor of the first
Congregational of which Miss Pavey
was a devoted member. The house
was crowded with friends and rela-
tives. The floral offerings we're many
and beautiful attesting the love and
respect in which she was held.
She lived a devout and consistant
Christian life beloved for her sweet
ness, gentleness, goodness, always
sweet natured, bright, patient,
COURAGEOUS, as a loving, devoted,
sympathetic daughter and sister her
equal Is rarely ever met.
| Miss Pavey was a neice of Mrs
Elvira Payey Beeson, of this town,
and cousin of Mrs. Martin Slaughter,
who was formerly Miss Stella Beeson,
and well known here, now living in
Colorado Springs, Colo, and grand
dauyhter of the late Henry Stafford
Pav,y, of Leesburg, this county
whom many of the older residents re-
member as wealthy land holder and
stock raiser, also granddaughter Of
Mrs. Miner, of Leesburg.
