THE NEW TAX LISTS.
Provisions of Lints of Notes the Most Conspicuous Change.
Auditor White has received the supplies for the assessors Two changeB were made necessary by the new law. The first iB the provision in the new blanks for giviiag the number of shares of stock in building, loan and savings associations and their value. Under the law passed by the last legislature a statement of all such stock must be given. The second and greater change in the blanks is a line list of blank spaces in which to insert the values of all notes owing by persons assessed. The old law allowed persons whose property is assesed to "lump" the whole sum of the notes owing by them. The new law requires that a person must set out in full in the blanks and make oath as to the name of the payee, the date of maturity and the amount of the notes. Then follow the customary blanks for the total value of accounts owed and the total bona fide indebtedness and the balance for which persons should be assessed.

Death of William Jasper Weaver.
God has Been fit to break the chain of nine links, and taken from us a loved one but let ua remember that God's will is not ours. Wm. Jasper Weaver, the son of Mahloa and Candsls Weaver, was born October 13, 1831, departed this earthly life March 13, about 7:30 oclock p. 1899, age being 67 years, 5 months and 29 days. He was a sufferer of catarrah which drifted into the dreaded disease, consumption. He was a sufferer for about 6ix long years, which he bore with it all, patiently. He was confined to his bed nine months. During his sicknesB he realized that this was not his abiding place, so he trusted in the wisdom and faith of his dear Saviour, expressing himself willing to go at the summons of bis master.
He was married to Margaret C. John June 9, 1870, and to this union they were blessed with seven children, all of whom survive and were present at the time of his death: four sons, George, Charles, Willliam and Burl and three daughters, Phemia, Anna and Carrie. He leaves a loving, kind devoted wife, one sister, Mrs. Mary Beck, one brother, Albert Weaver, and an aged step-mother, two half-sisters, two half-brothers, and a host of friends to mourn his departure.
His funeral occurred Tuesday at 2 p. m. at Mace M. E. conducted by Rev. J. Johnson and assisted by Rev. Riley. The body was laid to rest in the K. of P. cemetery at Mace,
It is true that our life must have its bright and dark hours, yet none are wholly obscured from where the sun of happiness has set the reflected moonlight of hope and memory is still around us and into each life some rain muBt fall, and some days must be dark and dreary. Our continuance on earth is but for a short time. Let us trust our future life, though short it may be, will be made brighter by the glimpse of heaven through our departed loved one, and when it is our time to lay aside our weather-beaten form, and He shall call us, we hope to greet three beyond this weary world where there is no tearful parting.
Fold his hands on his breast. For his work is done His feet have pressed the goldon strand,
For his race on earth is run.
His cheeks once red, like roses spread. His sparkling eyes so gay, But now you see how It is with he,
A lifeless lump of clay.
O, youth, beware and do prepare, To meet the monster, death, For he may come when you are young,
And steal away your breath.
X.
The family wishes to tender their sincere thanks to the kind neighbors and friends for the kindness that they bestowed upon them during the sickness of Wm. J, Weaver.
