Silver Dollar Passing Out.

The silver dollar gradually is going
out Of circulation. Today there are
about II, 900, 900 of them in circulation
which is the smallest number in recent
years. Three years ago there were
about S2,OOO,OOO passing through the
various channels of trade. The reason
for the unpopularlty of the silver dol
lar, 1t was said at the treasury depart
ment is that the government for the
last two years has declined to pay the
express charges on shipments of them
to the treasury for exchange for notes
of similar value. Because Of Their
size and weight, they already have
been discarded in the mercantile cen
ters of the north and east, but they
will still retain favor in the west and
the southwest and in all parts of the
south.

George Ellsworth Shaw was born In
Brown county, Ohio, Feb. %, 1879, and
was ushered into the presence Of his
King, Sept. q, 1909. Raised on the
farm he received a common school
education.
For several years he made his home
in and about Hillsboro. On Feb. 2,
1907, he married Ella Harris and a
happy home was the result.
After thinking seriously about his
relation to heavens claim he calmly
and yet decidedly took his stand for
Christ and Joined the United Brethren
church, Feb. 2, 1908. During his last
illness he often expressed his gratitude
for having taken this step while in
good health.
He was taken sick last January and
although everything that medical
skill could do was done, the bow had
been too far bent, the brittle threads
were too far spent and he entered into
the realms beyond.
For several months previous to his
death he seemed to enter into closer
relation with God in prayer life. He
regretted that he did not begin the
Christian life sooner so that he might
have greater harvest for the Master
He leaves wife, four brothers, -four
half brothers and half sister in whose
hearts he is enshrined. For after al
