Another Veteran Gone.
At about 7 o’olook last Friday
night Mr. Alfred A. King died at
■lifil home of his niece, Miss Mitt
Ragin, in Perry.
For several months he had been
in declining health, and for nine
weeks he had been confined to
his bed. He knew death was ap
proaching, and he was ready.
With ohristaih patienoe and res
ignation he awaited the summons
to pass from time to eternity.
The burial was in Evergreen
Cemetery Saturday afternoon, and
six veteran comrades of Confeder
ate service were pall bearers.
Mr. King was born in Sumpter
District, South Oarolinaon, Octo
ber 11th, 1881, and in 1851 he
came to Georgia and Houston
co.untyj with his father, Mr. John
R. King, five brothers and four
sisters. The remainder of his life
after four years servioe in the
Oonfeperate army, except a few
years iu Tennesse, was spent in
Perry.
He was married to Miss Belle
Martin in Perry a few years after
the war, aud she preceded him to
the “Great Beyond” several years
ago.
He was an exemplary member
of the Methodist church, a Christ
ian gentleman in word and deed,
Truly he was that noblest work of
God—an honest man. He ever
saw the bright side of life and was
cheerful under adverse circum
stances. A favorite with children,
their appellationUnole Alf, ”was
a title of genuine endearment.
Of his brothers and sisters, Miss
Ann A. King and . Mr. Francis
Marion King of Perry only sur
vive him, and his only sou, Mr.
Edwin King, iB now ^living in
Dublin, Ga.
A truly good man haB been
called to his eternal reward.
Ir extending sympathy to the
bereaved relatives, his many
friends remember “Uncle Alf”
with affeotionate regard.

without an occupant 8 days.
Major Cooper says such a con

he has been sheriff.
Prior to this, , the jail has not
been unoccupied exceeding 24

onoe only for that length of time.
The negro arrested and placed

and is under a warrant for mur
der, being charged with shooting
and killing Drit Smith at a negro
frolic near Grovania about twelve
