OBITUARIES. Catherine Wolfe departed this life Friday, January,22, 1904. Aged 79 years, 5 months, and 27 days. Mrs. Wolfe was born in Fairfield county . Ohio, where she was married to John Wolfe and after seve.al years moved to Blue Creek township, where they spent their remaining days, Mr. Wolfe having died several years ago. To this union were born eight children seven of whom survive their mother to mourn her loss. She also leaves a largo nmber of grand children and great grand children and lots of other relatives and friends. She joined the Lutheran church when just a girl and lived a faithful Christian life ever afterward Those who know her best have only words of praise to offer in her behalf. Her body was shipped back to Fairfield county for burial where she still has children and oher relatives. Ida Huffman, wife of Charles Passwater was buried Sunday at the Salem cemetery. She died very suddenly, having been sick but five days, and that while she was in the prime of life her age being 25 ’years 1 month and 19 days,. Thus we get the lesson that death is uncertain and takes the young as well as old. Her death is all the more sad, since she leaves throe small children behind. We all join our sympathy with the bereaved husband and friends. Attention! Company B. All members of Company B, 160th Ind., are requested to meet this even ing at 7 o’clock, at the Mayor’s officeto make arrangements for the funeral of Charles Edington. Notice. As it has always been mv custom to settle all book accounts during January for the preceding year, I respectfully request all mv patrons who are indebted to me to call and settle their accounts before February Ist.

In Theory t!iv \ timber 12 In a Better i n• t Tim it Im l<». Ilerliert Spencer was ever ojipos-d |.i the metric system. He was m> such fool as to call the present British reckon ing in pounds, shillings mid pence satisfactory. 111“ point was licit the num lier 12 was a ledter unit than 10. Twelve is twice divisible whole 10 is only oiks' divisible. < hi" iiumter of Io is 2’i, not an integral number. There are other reasons, based upon Ilic observed workings of the human mind, all tending to sl ow that to rei-kon in dozens is more natural than to reckon in tens as » x>n as man grows beyond the linger counting stage. In scientific duodeelmalism new characters would have to lie designed for 10 and 11. while 12 itsclfwouid be wri; ten 10. The number now called 141 would be written as 100. mid 1.72-s would be 1.000. Tile present number 1<8) would be Nt. In the course of a hundred years or so. when people had got used tn it. the duodecimal system would be just as convenient ns the decimal. Twelve inches would make a foot, twelve feet n tod. mid so on. In theory iluodecimnlism is sound. But it is not :in easy thing to change a people's stainhirds of money, weights and measures.
