who has had many years of usefulness.
Mr.. King was born Sept. 70, 1886, and
most of his life was spent in the town of
Paris. His full name was Abel Charles
Thomas King, but he was Familiarity
known TO almost every one as Tom"
King. BY trade he was carpenter,
and known as an excellent workman.
He was man of public spirit, always
interested in everything which would
benefit the community. In politics he
was Republican, and in 1856 was rep
resentative in the legislature from the
district of which Paris was a part, and
in lS99-1900 was one of the two senators
from Oxford County. He was secretary
and treasurer of the Oxford County Ag-
ricultural Society continuously, with the
exception of part of one year, from
1871 until the fall of 1903, and in that
position formed wide acquaintanceShip.
Mr.. King was much interested in
Masonry. He became member of Paris
Lodge, F. and A. NJ, in 1868. He served
as secretary and in various subordinate
offices, was for five terms at different
times master of the lodge, and had been
district deputy grand master. He was
also member of Oxford Chapter, r. A.
NJ, and Oxford Council, X. and S. NJ, of
Norway. To the last he retained his

Mr.. King was twice married. His first
wife was Mary Z. Morton, who died in

day afternoon were greatly disappoint
ed, as Paris out-played Oxford in every
department of the game. The game
however, was clean and fast, the best OF
good feeling being shown throughout
Eaton umpired fine game and has the
pleasure of knowing that he gave per-
feet satisfaction to both teams.
Cole, who was in the box for Paris,
pitched one of his best games and allow
ed Oxford only two hits. 1t is prob
ably the first time an Oxford team ever
went through game without making
more than two hits, as they are one of
the strongest batting teams that ever
played in this vicinity. Adams also
pitched a good game for Oxford, strik-
ing out l3 men and making I assists,
but he was unable to keep Paris from
batting, and did not receive as good sup
port as usual. Both pitchers had per-
feet control, neither giving a base on
balls or hitting batter.
In the first inning after two men had
singled, earning one run. In the second
inning four errors and hit gave Paris
two more runs. Oxford made its only
run in this inning on hit, sacrifice,
and a long fly. Two errors, two singles
and two sacrifice hits gave Paris its
other three runs in the 9th inning.
The feature of the game was the play
ing of the whole Paris team, the infield
accepting 10 out of l6 chances, while the
outfield accepted its ) chances, two of
them difficult, in its usual brilliant man.
ner. Only 90 men. two above the ncces-
sary number, faced Cole during the
game. The score:

Death of A. c. T. King.


Brief mention was made last week Of
the discovery of the death of A. c. T
King just as the Democrat was closing
its forms, of which no details had beer
learned. The affair with its attendan,
circumstances, though no blame attaches
to any one, was great shock to the peo
pie of the place.
| Since the death of his wife three years
since, Mr.. King has rented the lower
part of his house on Pleasant Street,
which has of late been occupied by the
family of Herbert Aver, and has him.
self occupied rooms on the second floor.
He took his meals elsewhere, most Of
the time with the family of 1. F. Evans,
near neighbor. On the night of Thurs
day, June Goth, Mr.. King was there at
supper as usual, and seemed even more
than ordinarily we'll and happy.
AS he did not appear for breakfast
Friday morning, Mr.. Evans went to his
house to investigate. Going into Mr..
Kings bedroom, he saw that the bed
had been occupied, and that Mr.. Kings
working clothes were left as he had
taken them off. Some of the neighbors
had seen Mr.. King about the premises
Thursday evening, in company with a
younger man, and it was supposed that
his sou-in-law, Arthur S. Hall of Buck
field, had come there and Mr.. King had
returned home with him for visit,
though be was very busy with carpenter
work, and it was also contrary to his
custom to leave without telling the
Evans family.
Thus matters remained until the fore
noon of the Monday following, when
Mrs. A. W. Walker came to the house of
Mr.. Evans 10 inquire for Mr.. King. He
had been working on bath room at Mr..
Walkers, and had left it unfinished.
Suspecting that there was something
wrong, Mrs. Evans asked Mrs. Walker
to go with her to Mr.. Kings house and
investigate more fully. They found the
body of Mr.. King lying on the floor back
of the bed, where it could not be seen
from the door of the room. Mr.. King
had previously had attacks of heart
trouble. Evidently he had been seized
with one such some time during Thurs
day night, and in attempting to rise had
fallen to the floor.
Immediate preparations were made
for the funeral, which was held at the |
church at 1920 Tuesday !
Several selections were sung
by the Schubert Quartette, and the pas
tor, Rev. J. II. Little, spoke impressive
ly of the lessons of faith and hope |
taught by the occasion, and paid tribute !
to Mr.. Kings sterling qualities as a man
md citizen. Paris Lodge of Masons,
with large number of members in at
tendance, then took charge, and the
funeral service of the order was given.
Burial was in the cemetery on what is
,alled Durell Hill.
In the death of Mr.. King, many have
ost an esteemed friend, and the COM
nunity an honored and valuable citizen,

Base Ball.
RADCLIFFE Q; SOUTH PARIS 3.

RADCLIFFE Q; SOUTH PARIS D.
South Paris met defeat Tuesday fore
noon at the hands of Radcliffe. The
game, although there was more or less
loose playing on both sides, was in
teresting and a good one to watch.
Radcliffe won by combining their hits
with Paris errors, and although Paris
out-batted them 10 hits to S, they were
unable to get hits when they needed
them most. The fact that they had Il
men left on bases shows what hard luck
they had in this respect.
A base on balls, two errors and two
hits gave Radcliffe 3 runs in the first
inning. Paris did not score until the
18th inning when two bases on balls and
an error gave them 8 runs and tied the
score. Norway got another run in their
half of the same inning on hits and a
strike out, and scored more in the
next inning on errors and hit. Nor,
way earned runs in the 9th on 3 nice
two-base-hits. Paris also earned runs
in the same inning on singles. Neither
side scored after the 9th, although Paris
GOT 3 men on bases in the It'll and in
the Sth.
The feature of the game was the bat
ting of Harry Shaw, who made 4 hits
out of times at the bat, one of the hits
being good for two bases. The score:

high school grounds Saturday afternoon
in a hard hitting and loose fielding game
On batting the teams were fairly even
South Paris made l6 hits with total OF
% bases, while West Paris made Is hits
with total of u, but in fielding West
Paris was very much to the bad, being
credited with Is errors. The South
Paris outfield did the poorest work that
it has done in any game, Ii. W. Shaw
losing an easy fly and making wild
throw to the plate, while Hebbard also
dropped an easy one. There was more
or less changing about on both teams.
Parlin, who started to pitch, changed
places with Cole in the third inning. In
the second inning c. Briggs was hit by a
batted ball and obliged to retire from
the game, n. Rowe taking his place at
short and II. Briggs taking third. In
the fifth inning F. Shaw took Richard
sons place at first base.
The three home runs of the game were
made by driving the ball into the woods,
and the batter making the circuit before
it could be found. The best batting of
the day was done by j. Rowe and Parlin.
Rowe made four hits out of five times at
the bat, with total of nine bases, while
Parlin made four hits out of five times
at the bat, with total of seven bases.
Pike played good game for South Paris,
and Bacon did some fine fielding for
West Paris. Wheeler's double play I'M
assisted was the feature of the game.

A SUSTAINING DIET.

These are the enervating days, when,
as somebody has said, men drop by the
sunstroke as if the Day of Fire had
dawped. They are fraught with danger
to people whose systems are poorly sus-
tanned; and this leads us to say, in the
interest of the less robust of our readers,
that the full effect of Hoods Sarsaparilla
is such as to suggest the propriety of
calling this medicine something besides
a blood purifier and tonic,-say, a sus-
tanning diet. 1t makes it much easier
to bear the heat, assures refreshing
sleep, and will without any doubt avert
much sickness at this time of year.

TRIUMPHS OF MODERN SURGERY.

Xxi u MI do VT MoDEnN OOhpHRA .
Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished and
put back, or they may be removed en-
tirely; bones are spliced; pipes take the
place of diseased sections of veins; anti
septic dressings are applied to wounds,
bruises, burns and like injuries before
inflammation sets in, which causes them
to heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the old treat
ment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts
on this same principle. 1t is an anti
septic and when applied to such injuries,
causes them to heal very quickly. 1t
also allays the pain and soreness. Keep
bottle of Pain Balm in your home and
it will save you time and money, not to
mention the inconvenience and suffering
which such injuries entail. For sale by
