JEFFERSON DAVIS KING

| Newton Sanitarium, where ne
had gone a few days before tc
have an operation performed.
Mr.. King had been in very
poor health for the past several
mouths and for many weeks his
attending physician had little
hope of his recovery. He i'm
proved however to where he was
able to be OH the streets again
and was able to attend to some
of his business affairs. A kind
of tumor began to grow on the
side of his neck and was grow
ing very fast. 1t was to have
this tumor removed that he
went to the hospital at Newton.
He was operated on bnt it was
seen at once that he would
hardly overcome the disease
that had so firm a hold on his
already weakened constitution.
AT the bedside at the time of
his death was his devoted wife,
two sons and a number of friends.
His daughter, Miss Kato had re-
turned home from his bedside.
His remains were shipped
from Newton Monday afternoon
reaching here at 2 T. M. A dele.
cation from the masonic lodge,
of which he was faithful mem.
Der and many other friends went
to Newton and accompanied the
remains home. Upon reaching
here his body was carried to his
home where it was viewed by
relatives and hundreds of friends.
The funeral services we're held in
the Methodist church conducted
by Rev. w. ]. Derrick assisted
by Rev. j. Q. Long. The tributes
paid by these good men were
touching, appropriate and eu-
logistic of this good man.
The burial services were con-
Quoted by the local Masonic
Lodge assisted by Masons of
many other lodges. q
Perhaps no better testimonial
of the high character and esteem
could be had of Mr.. King than
the hundreds of people from
here and the surrounding coun-
try who came to pay the last
tribute OF respect to him. All
business houses were closed
during the funeral services, and
little knots of men and women,
gathered here and yonder were
telling of some good deed or
kind act of the deceased.
Mr.. King at the time of his
death was Sc years old. He
came to this town as a barefoot
ed boy, without money aud but
few friends and acquaintances
but by dent of hard work and
the assistance of friends who
soon saw what was in this young
4 man he began to climb until he
made one of the most successful
business men in the county. BY
his sheer force and business accu
men he amassed property until
at the time of his death he was
perhaps the largest property
owner in our county.
Mr.. King did not devote his
life only to the accumulation of
property. He was one of our
biggest hearted public spirited
men. He was always found for
the right and he WAS deeply in.

The powers at Washington
regard us in state of war with
Germany. The question now is,
"what are we going to do about
it.n
A cabinet meeting was held
Tuesday and it was urged a
declaration of war be issued.
Congress will likely be called in
extra session to day and it is
congress that declares war. The
sinking of three American ships
drowning many American citi-
zens is the overt act that forces
us into war. Privately owned
u boat chasers and other water
craft is being offered the govern
ment to clear the seas of the
German submarines. Before

The Gar of Russia has been
dethroned and his younger broth
er has been put at the head of
the government. The people
of that vast country have at last
thrown off the yoke of oppression
and seem united for a democracy.
A republic giving the people
more freedom and rights is likely
to be formed.
The change in government has
not altered the position of that
country in the war. The rulers
seem to be determined upon the
defeat of Germany and Austria.

The most concise and sensible
answer to the peace at any price
people, to the ultra pacifists and
fillibusters was made by John
Sharpe Williems a few days ago.
Senator Williams said:

past use my influence to keep
this country out of war provided
| can keep it out with honor.
Our citizens have been assas
sinated upon the high seas by
lurking sea assassins German
sympathizers tried to blow up
The capitol, and barely missed it.
Several have blown up munitions
plants and factories. An Aus
trian ambassador issued orders to
Austrian subjects in the United
States as if he were in his own
territory. Our Department of
Justice has discovered that the
late ambassador of Germany had
all sorts, of cobweb COM
munication with all sorts of
people prepared for treason
against the United States. Ger
many has tried to stir up war
