| SUICIDE At BARNSBOR)

At $50 O'Clock this morning the lifeless
body Of VIM. H. Taylor, of Barnsboro, was
found lying in Widow Davis meadow, on
the hillside back. of the town. One side Of
his head was blown entirely away. Mr..
Taylor was laboring man, aged about A
years; he was married, but separated from
his wife, who lives at Gloucester City. At
$50 Wednesday morning he took his gun.
and said he was going cunning. No alarm
was felt at his absence, until this morning,
when search was instituted. From the
fact that he was so near home, it is con
cluded that he committed the act soon after
leaving the house. In fits Of despondency,
be has frequently threatened 70 take his
life.
Coroner Heritage was summoned and re-
sponded promptly.

OBITUARY.
GEORGE W. WILLIAMS.

George W. Williams, the oldest resident
of Williamstown, passed away on We'd
desday of last week, aged 80 years. He
was grandson of Israel Williams, who at
one time owned tract of 1000 acres Of
land upon which Williamstown is now To-
Gated His maternal grandmother was
friend of George Washington, for whom the
deceased was named. When his grand
mother died in his boyhood it made a
deep impression upon his mind and he has
made it point to attend almost every
funeral in this vicinity, and it is said that
he has been present at not less than 1000
funerals He was born at Turnerville but
later resided with his mother at Woods
town, Franklinville and Blackwo
Finally he settled on the farm now occupied
by Elmer Curry, near Cross Keys. This
was soon after his marriage in 1885, and he
occupied a log house, but later he built a
frame house at the intersection of the
Blackwood turnpike nearby, where they
resided until Mrs Williams death in 1893.
The children OF Mr.. and Mrs. Williams are:
Mrs Hester Champion, Mrs George War
ren, Mrs. Lucy Tompkins, Leonard Will
Jams, Frank Williams aud Wesley Will
Jams He leaves twenty two grandchildren,
forty -grandchi dren and one great
grea6-granichiId. The later belonging to
George Whitehair The funeral took place
at Turnerville, on Monday, aud was very

THE NEW TAX LAW.

During the past week collectors have
received instructions from the State Board
of Taxation as to their duties under the
new taxlaw that went into effect on the
Gosh inst. This act holds collectors to
strict accountability, and the tax dodger
who escapes the collector will have to be a
smart one. If he escapes through any fault
of the collector, that official is liable to a
fine of $32. The collector is required
under this act to levy on chattels, or arrest
the delinquent on personal tax and have
him confined in prison.
Collector Redfield will have considerable
business under this act, and if be proceeds
to enforce the law, Warden Platt will have
a busy season next year, to say nothing Of
applicants from other townships in the
county.
Is is the general understanding in Wood
bury that the payment of poll tax is con-
fined to property owners, the property
owners generally escaping payment. Under
the new law this will all be changed and
payment or the Jail are the alternatives.
Collectos who are too busy to give at
tention to all the details of the law may
appoint deputy to enforce the obnoxious
provisions, and thus avoid the unpleasant
duties Of the ofice-for it will be unpleas-
ant to consigu ones friends to the second
tier in the Cast e Jones, because Of the lack
Of ST.
This act is Of great Importance to all the
people, and had the legislature that placed
it on the statnte books a correct idea of its
responsibility to the public, the people
would have been appraised Of its full i'm
port months ago, through publication in
the newspapers of the State.
In another issue we will endeavor to give
comprehensive summary Of the act.

respects to neighbor and friend. The
street to the right and to the left was pack

for two blocks. AS far as / cou see

departed had been practicing lawyer; he
had been county surveyor; he had been a
member Of the school board be had been
commissioner Of the land Office; he had
been for years superintendent Of Sunday
school he had been Governor of his State;
he had been member Of Congress, but in
no one place had he lowered above others
who had held similar positions But in no
place, either as husband, or father, or
neighbor, or friend or official, had he ever
failed to measure up to the full stature Of a
good, clean, honest, upright, high-minded
man and Christian gentleman. And say
to you that, whether the position be high
or low, whether responsibilities be many
or few, he who fills the measure to the
brim, be the measure large or SMALL ac-
