lieve God would disgrace the throne

COPIED from a paper in New Mexi-
CO, and sent to his brother, S f,
King, Charleston, Tenn.
AS briefly announced last week John
King, familiarly known as Grandpa
King, left us quite suddenly. So hur-
ried was the call that scarce had he
time to turn and say goodbye to his
friends, he had no foes No one with
in the circle Of our acquaintance was
reader to answer the last summons,
and the statement is not uttered out of
aroused emotions nor on the impulse
of the moment when the heart over
flows with feeling and suffers q keen
sense of loss. He was a good man.
That looks we'll in print, but it looks
best to those who knew him because
they know it to be true He walked
with God and the reason he is not
with us is because God took him. Our
hearts are sad, but not rebellious, God
had right to do SO.
Mr.. King was born in Bradley Coun-
ty, Tenn March 5, 1S40, and died at
Kings, New Mexico, January II, 1919.
He served the full four years of the
civil war and went to Sequachee Val
ley in young manhood. He was mar
ried to Nancy Jane Golstop, and she
together with their children survive
him, He was Master Mason and
Pilgrim Knight He professed faith
in Christ when only fifteen years old,
and all his after life proved il an hon
est profession He was ruling elder
in the Cumberland Presby terian
Church good part of his life. Mr..
King was not stout man. Indeed he
was an invalid for thirty years, but in
the face Of this supreme trial, he bat
tied cheerfully and always trusted in
God. He was tried by fire and came
forth as gold.
''The hoary head is crown of glo-
ry." Certainly in his case it is true,
for in the evening hour he continuous
ly recounted to all who would listen
the wonders of the day. Now that he
is gone there is an emptyness, not on
ly of the chair and home, but in the
hearts of the community as we'll.

lngs and fields from wind and In the

ting when thrifty young timber not yet
large enough to cut will have good
sale value.
The care Of this crop causes little ex

means of solving the problem of how
to keep good farm help probably en-
ployed all the year.
The three principal aims in caring
for the wood lot should be to keep the
ground thoroughly covered with trees,
% have only the best possible trees and
70 mako them grow rapidly.
In order to make timber grow fast
care should be taken In choosing the
Kinds of trees to raise. the soil should
be kept moist and mellow by protect
ing the leaf mulch. and the best trees
should be given fair amount OF light
by making improvement cuttings
Methods of starting new trees either
to I'LL openings now in the woods or to
replace timber to be harvested are as
follows: BY sprouts. by seed falling
from neighboring trees. by sowing seed
broadcast and by planting trees or seed.
