THIS portion of the State, not only to his
own denomination, but to the people gen
orally. He was born in this County OH The
ISL DAY OF january, 11ol, and upon reaching
early manhood determined to try his for
tunes III u new country, and accordingly re.
moved to the State Of Tennessee, where he
was converted to Christianity in 1909, and
baptized rs member of the Baptist faith
by Rev. Daniel White of that State. He
thereupon returned to this County, married
i'll April, 1911, and permanently settled
here, joining the Meals Creek Baptist
Church. In May, 1925 he was ordained by
his Church to preach the Gospel, the pres
bylery consisting of Elders Moses Holland,
Sandford Vandiver and James Burriss, to-
gcther with Mr. Aaron Wilhon, q lay
member. He raised q family of twelve sons
ana daughters, all of whom are members
OF the Church of the same faith as their
father, and are upright and exemplary men
and women, making useful and respected
citizens i'll the various walks of life in
which they are engaged. Mr.. King was in
the ministry near fifty years, preaching
his last sermon at Bolton in March, 1878.
he was then very feeble, and his patriarch
ial words from the text, 'stand still and see
the salvation of the Lord" were listened TO
with much interest and reverence AS has
already been said, he died on the lst duy of
January, 1879, being on that day eighty
eight years old. Mr.. King was kind and
aniiable gentleman, without q collegiate ed
ucation, but possessed of strong mental
power and sound judgment. He was a
pure man and an earnest minister, whose
long life has been devoted to the effort to
benefit mankind. On last Thursday the
remains of the deceased were inferred in
Meals Creek Church Yard, in the presence
OF large concoursc of people, after eloquent
and solemn funeral services by Revs. J. S.
Murray and w. =. Martin.

Symptoms Of a DiseasedLiver.

DAIN in the right side, under the
L edge Of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tlte and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of men,
ory, accompanied with painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains Of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, vet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases

In the Alps.

The death OF the Alpine explorer, Dr.
Mosely, of Boston, while descending the
Matterhorn, gives q timely and tragic
interest to the description of Mr..
Charles p Howard, in Ltppi'scOtt's Mag
Gzine, of the ascent of the mountain.
The following extract shows what risk
the climber undergoes:
To q novice our position seemed
frightful. On the right the rocks
dropped sheer 1900 feet to the steep
snow slopes leading down to the Z'mutt
glacier and on the left the slope was so
steep hat it appeared almost a preci-
pice. The ridge in front, along which
we must pass, narrowed until it seemed
to have no breadth at all and was capped
by thin ridge of snow, except where
one or two thin needles of rock pro-
.jected up through so sharp that no
snow could cling to them.
We soon reached part of the ridge
where it was not more than foot wi te.
l could hardly believe that rock and
snow could stand up in such a thin,
sharp ridge, but there it was, and
Bromtschen was walking along the
comparatively smooth, hard snow
which capped the rocks; he stopped a
little to balance himself. | followed,
but the slight wind on our right was too
strong for me feel sure of my balance,
rs my feet, when my toes were turned
out, reached from side to side of the
ridge; so l got down on my hands and
knees and crawled slowl y and carefully
along, my rghl foot overhanging the
Z'mutt glacier. and my left the preci-
pice which leads down to the slope on
the left | crawled in this way for
about $50 feet, and reached a small tur-
ret of rock, beyond which the ridge was
not quite so narrow, and where | could
walk upright. We followed the top of
the Shoulder without much difficulty, but
we had still to be so careful in placing
our feet that did not look ahead much !;
and so | found myself, almost before |
knew it, at the foot of he main peak
which had appeared so terrific from ou
last resting place. Looking up. the
rocks above for four hundred feet were
seen to be very steep1y inclined, making
an average angle of fifty-nine degrees,
almost perfectly smooth and coated
with glare ice. A little to our right a
rope hung down these icy rocks from a
considerable distance above, while just
below it the rocks. dropped away in tue
precipice facing the Z'mutt glacier. l
did not quite fancy the outlook, but
concluded that if l dropped the guides
must go with me, and that they knew
what they were about, and would not
take certainty of being killed for only
twenty dollars.

The Smallest Bank RObber in the
World.

1t seems that the mystery surrounding
robbery committed in the First Ma
tional Bank of this city many months
ago was cast aside Tuesday morning.
A long time ago Nj. Farnsworth, cash
ier in the bank, missed 81, 50 and S.
bills frequently out of small pasteboard
hoX he kept standing on the counter.
In all there were fifteen or twenty dol
lars taken. and then Mr.. Farnsworth re-
moved the temptation of the mysterious
bank robber by doing away with the
"change box" Tuesday morning
workmen were engaged in tearing
down the old vault in the building
formerly occupied by the First National,
situated on the corner of Broadway and
Main street, and in hole in the inside
of the vault, just above the door, they
found dead mouse lying on top of a
large-sized "nest" On making an eX-
animation of the nest it was found to be
wholly constructed of small pieces of
one, two and five dollar bills. The pile
was sufficiently large to cause the officers
of the bank to believe that the entire
fifteen or twenty dollars stolen from
them were in the mouse nest, and the
defaulting bank mouse, together with
its rather expensive nest is on exhibition
in Mr.. Farnsworth's Office, in the
Plumer block. Not piece of the bills
as large as a silver half dollar could be
found in the pile. We believe that
mouse to be the smallest bank robber in
the world.-Co,uaciI Bluffs (Ia.) Non

man who was well known in wall

Leading American Cities.

The census of voters just taken in
Baltimore, says the Detroit Free Press,
indicates a population for that city of
about 350,000, an increase of upward of
80. 900 since the federal census of 1870.
This shows fair ratio of growth, but
Notwithstanding it the chances are that
by the census Of 1880 Baltimore will be
showed down a notch in the scale of
American cities as respects population
In 1870 she stood sixth, being exceeded
by New York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn,
Chicago and St. Louis. Boston was then
seventh on the list, being 1900 behind
Baltimore. The HUB" by the absorp-
ton of Charlestown and some other
suburbs, made up more than the slight
lead of Baltimore, and with the natural
growth of the city was put some distance
in the lead. With u population of BAL :
9l9 in 1875, Boston in 1880 will not fall
far short of 100000. New York and
Philadelphia will, of course, be first and
second, respectively, in 1880; but only
the census itself can tell the exact rank
of either Brooklyn, Chicago or st. Louis
Each of these cities has population ex.
cceding half u million, unless the census
of st. Douis in 1876 and the estimates of
the Chicago directory man are grossly er-
roneous. Cincinnati is without rival
at present for eighth place on the list,
holding the same relative rank now that
she cid in 1870.

Wages and Cost Of Living.

A Washington letter says: Agricultu-
raj Commissioner LIE Due is collecting
statistics concerning the rate of wages
and the cost of living among farm la
borers throughout the United States.
Within the last year he has ascertained
the cost of living and the average rate of
wages paid have decreased about fifteen
per cent. in all parts of the country,
with the exception, perhaps, of Mime
sofa, Colorado, California, Oregon and
Washington Territory. In Colorado and
New Mexico there has been an increase
in the rate of wages paid, and corre-
spending increase in the cost of living,
owing to the demand for labor resulting
from the large mining operations that
have developed within the last twelve
months. In Minnesota, and in the other
States and Territories named, the rate of
wages paid and the expense of living is
about the same as it was year ago.
In New England the average pay of
farm laborers without board is $20.3l
per month, against 1922 go year ago, a
decline of about ten per cent. The aver
age cost of hiring has fallen from SO. l3 a
year ago, to SO. OF, a decline of more than
thirteen per cent.
In New OrK, new Jersey ana Henn-
sylvania, the prices paid for farm labor
have fallen 81 per cent. while the cost of
living has fallen ten per cent.
In Virginia, Maryland, North and
South Carolina and Georgia labor is re-
duced about fifteen per cent. and the cost
of living about sixteen per cent.
In Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana
and Texas the decline in wages has been
about five per cent. and the cost of liv-
ing about three per cent.
In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan
and Wisconsin the average rate of wages
paid to farm hands is 800 80, while west
of the Mississippi the averageis raised to
$23.SI. The price of labor and the cost
of living have not materially changed
within the last yeat-the great reduction
having taken place in 1877.
