1 ...uf.i.m mr. h Obituary. Abrahatn McWilliams B< liman, son of Abraham and Chritianna Bpllman, was was born iu Wayne county, Ohio, March 6, 1545, and died in Decatur, Tuesday morning December 29, 1891, vea<-s, 9 months and 23 days. In 1852, when six years old, his parents came to Adams county and settled in Decatur, where he grew to manhood. Educated in the schools of his adopted home and for several years was an instructor in the schools of this state. While superintendent of the schools of Bunker Hill, he met Miss Elsie Keegan, to whom he was united in marriage A>ct. 22, 1874, bv the Rev. Clark Skinne/, of the N. W. Conference, to them was-scorn five children, two sons and three daughters. In March 1573, he entered the employ of the county as Deputy Recorder and served ccntiriously in the different offices of the county until ISB2 when he was elected Recorder, which office he held for two terms, retiring m IS9I. ° In 1572 he united with the M. E. church at Bunker Hill, Ind., and afterward nectci himself with the Methodist church of this city. He has been a faithful, earnest and true in all his relations to the church cfhis choice. A good man has gone from us. A faithful husband, a true and loving father, a devoted brother, his end was peace. Funeral at his late home, conducted by his pastor, assisted by Rev. E. A. Aileln. Disolve Partnership. Shaffer Bro’s., one of the oldest hardware firms of this 1 city, disolved partnership this week. Jacob Shaffer retiring fjom the business and Noah Loch, an old emplye, buying a one-third interest.' The new firm will continue the business under the name of F. Shaffer & Loch. The firm of Shaffer Bro’s started in business, in this city in 1575, and have conducted a su'cess-tu! hardware business, for the past sixteen years, which, it is useless to say. could .only be accompished by square deal.ng and the upright treatment of their cu.stcmers. Mr. Loch, the junior member of the new firm is well known in this vicinity, and we know thgre is no better hardware man in the state. The new firm wik conduct the business as heretofore, keeping a a full line of general hardware, machines, buggies, wagons, farm implements, etc. They solicit your patronage and invite you to c ill and examine their stock. Taxing Transients. Every now and then some fellow slips into the to .vn with a Bankrupt stock of books, boots aid shoes, dry goods or other wares and remains lor a few weeks, and after selling all he con, then as quietly as he came, leaves again; The right of doing this is an Imposition up--1 n our home merchants and should not be tolerated unless ha pays his taxes just the same as does the merchants that reside in Decatur permanently. The last legislature attempted to remedy this wrong and succeeded, providing the local tax assessor but does hi, duty. Section 6,314 of the acts approved and in force March the 6th. 1891, provides that “Whenever at any time during sny year, any transient person shall locate in any township, city, town or village", shall offer to sell or otherwise dispose of any books or other goods, wares or merchandise, under the name or des'gnation, it shall be the duty of the proper assessor for the time being of the place where such person shal locate, forthwith to call upon such person and demand of him the true value, in money, of all his stock in trade; and in case such person shall neglect or refuse to return the same, under oath, within twen-ty-four hours after such derriand, then it shall be the duty of the said assessor to determine the same as in other cases; and, in either case, he shall forthwith 1 eturn such xa’uation to the auditor of the county who shall cause the same to be entered at once on the tax duplicate, and collected immediately.” The Soma) In the Aryan religion Plant. j the chief offering to the gods was the fomented juice of the Soina or M oon plant, which being a strong drink, gaye new excitement to those who partook of it, and was bplieved to impart power to the {.qds. It was believed, more over, that it wrought miracles, and for this reason, perhaps, it afterwards became the chief god of the Hindus. In a verdict hymn the worshiper says; “We’ve quarted the Soma bright, s And are immortal grown! We’ve entered into light. And all the gods have Known, What, mortal now-can harm, Or fiiomen vex us more? Through thee beyond alarm, luiinprial (Sod ! we soar.” No such power as this is attributed to any plant at the present time, and yet many of the cures performed by S. S. S., a purely vegetable remedy, seem almost to border < n the m|r’’-cujous. In contagious blood poison teroliila, sk’n diseases, Jsome forms of cancer, etc., it is- the remeby par f xcellerce.
