To-day Mr.. John T. King, of Johnson
City, will wed Miss Ida Rogers, OF
Leadvale, Jefferson county, Tenn, at
the residence Of the latter's uncle, Mr..
Isaac Rogers. Mr.. King was born and
raised in this section of the state and
is, consequently, well and popularity
known, we may say, throughout East
Tennessee, having been for fifteen
years chief head clerk of the East
Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia railway
service; and since 1880 he has almost
constantly been in the revenue bust
ness, in both OF which capacities he
was known as strictly business man.
Aside from business affairs he is an
sffable gentleman, and when in his
company you at once find him agree
able and pleasant. Miss Rogers is a
decided favorite in Jefferson county,
possessing a lovable disposition aud
having general store of knowledge
in domestic affairs, which of itself
commends her as being eminently
worthy to reign as wife of the husband
she accepted. They will arrive on the
train tomorrow or next day and go
to housekeeping in Johnson City. Mr..
King, you will have to dodge not to

Death of Senator Vance.

The dearh of Senator Zebulon B.
Vance, of North Carolina, which &C.
Cured at Washington on the 18th
inst, was not looked for by the coun-
try, and his immediate friends, who
kept constantly advised as to his con-
dition, did not expect it.
The deceased was about 81 years OF
age. He had been suffering for some
time from paralysis and complication
of diseases, but had been regalning
his health, and it was thought was on
the road to recovery. His return to
the capital from Florida, where he
spent portion of the winter for his
health, was fastened by the struggle
over the tariff bill. A stroke of apo
plexy was the immediate cause of his
death

in which he attained tht rank of Colo.
mel. He first entered Congress when
% years Of age. He was thrice elected
Governor Of North Carolina, and was
thrice elected United States Senator.
Senator Vance was a thorough Demo
crat in every sense Of the word, and
was very useful in the high sphere
which he occupied, both to hie State
aud the nation.
His death is a great loss to the DEM
ocratic party. His sound political
convictions and ripe experience in al
fairs~of legislation contributed much
to accelerate Democratic effort in the
Senate. The country will deplore his

can legally hold all the Offices the suit
will not hurt him. If he cannot hold
them legally he will have to step down
