Old Citizen Gone

George J. King was a familiar
figure here but better known at
Brunswick since boyhood. Last
Friday evening after supper he
and his sister were sitting IN
chairs near the fire place talking.
Presently his sister noticed his
head bending over and he fell to
the floor as size reached him,
dead.
George King was born at
Farmville Prince Edward Coun-
ty, Va. July 21. l845. With his
parents he came to Brunswick
when a boy and he and bis faith
er engaged in cabinet making.
The family moved to the farm
after a few years where the par
ents Geo. and Mary Ewing King
died, the father in 1861 and the
mother in 1893, leaving the de-
ceased and his sister Miss Mary
(Tena) and a daughter Mrs.
Ella Stockton of Weehawken. N.
j. The deceased and his sister
Mary have lived on the farm
ever since. George King was
educated at a st. Louis CONNER
cial College and was with VIM.
L. Ewing wholesale grocer for 8
years. He returned to the farm
and joined Gen. Sterling Price
army during the last years OF
the war.
George King had a passion for
accumulating land and at the
day of his death owned nearly a
thousand acres. He was all pa
triot, quiet and energetic and es-
teemed by this friends. Funer.
al services were conducted al
the family residence Saturday
by Rev. R. 7. Matthew;
and interment in the family
cemetery.

The Telephone Situation

Since we have raised the ques-
tion, we choose to keep it in the
air until either better service is
granted to the patrons of the
various lines or something else
is started to secure that service.
There is no earthly reason why
this city. the county seat, can
not be reached by everyone in
the county having a phone on
any line, and why owners of
phones here are not permitted to
communicate with any one hav-
ing a phone anywhere in the
County except a disposition on
the part of the owners of the
Keytesville and Salisbury sys-
TENS to get more out of it than
is coming to them. If these two
or rather this one system uses
connecting country lines for its
gain, then there is no excuse for
a charge against owners of
phones here or al Salisbury hav-
ing to pay extra for service over
those lines nor can we see how
those lines are chargeable for
connection with this system, for
they form a larger system which
undoubtedly would be required
and had even tho there were no
country or private lines.
Itappears inconceivable that the
owners of lines connecting with
Salisbury and Keytesville are
charged for that connection and
patrons of the Salisbury and
Keytesville systems charged for
service over those connecting
lines in several instances, but
such appears to be the fact. If
the Bell and Salisbury. -Keytes-
vile phone magnates intend to
absorb or use as their own. all
the small lines over the count
and charge all accordingly for
-
phones, Standard OilStock would
be poor investment in COM
parison. OF course material of
all kinds is much higher, but all
the lines are built and there is
little to buy so there is no valid
excuse for raising rates. but the
war is not over nor has the Sails
bury -Keytesville system got
its hooks securely into all others
in the county to date.

it hard for our local churches to

none has lost out entirely.
