We are constantly being remind
ed of the fact that our life in this
world is of short duration. By the
destructive work of the angel of
death the home of Mrs. Mary S.
King was saddened on the 28th of
September by the sad newt that
her son, John E. King, was dead.
Mr. King had been, in the rail
road service, but in 1890 he mar
ried Miss 'Ada Marion, of Pilot
Mountain, where he was then agent.
Later he gave up railroad "work
and located at Pilot Mountain.
Having become attached to the
road, he would sometimes work in
the service for a while. About a
month previous to his death j be
went 'to Georgia and took a posi
tion at Lyons. He had written
home saying he was well, and his
people were again expecting a let
ter when the sad news ef his death
came. He had taken fever and
died withia a few days.
Mr. King leaves many relatives
in this vicinity and a mother, sis
ter and two brothers. He also
leaves a wife and two children at
Pilot Mountain, where his remains
were interred. J
While it is hard to give up our
friends and, loved ones, let us re
member that God doeth all things
well. We tender our deepest sym
pathy to the mother, who has been
called upon to give up several; of
her children, and to the wife, chil
dren and other relatives of the de
ceased. A. M. F.
