UNCLE JAUOB KING. There w*» no better dressed gentlemen visible on our street* U*t Tuesday than ftther, grand-father, and great grandfather Jacob King, of our city. The occ* don being hi* eighty-second birthday, which fact was prominent by him sporting a horse hoof cane, carried by bls father, and made of good, old hickory But few people are bleated with the privilege ot reaching the seventieth milestone in the journey of life— as three score and ten year* »eem to be the allotted time tor human existence. But by reason of strength our friend Mr. King hatfr not only reached the three score and tenth year, but he h*s tdded twelve more to the much envied seventy. But lew people in our county who were young with Mr. King are permitted to enjoy such a long Ilf , saying nothing of good health and the agility to move about with as much ablity as a boy in his teen*. Eighty-two year* doe* not seem long to a person who doe* not pause to think, but within that period of time Indiana has grown to be a great State. The great city of Chicago has grpwn from a few wig warns at the southern end of Lake Michigan, 'to be a great city whose fame encircles the globe. Our country has been wrapped up in a netting ot wires that conduct the thoughts of man by the means of the electricity we often see flashing in the heavens. Mr, King has been an eye witness to the most progressive period in the history of our County and State. He has been blessed with a large family, and been trusted by the people, having served the ci.izens ot Adgms County as their sheriff. He afterwards however honored our city in the capacity of being its first Marshal. Is it any wonder that after he has been permitted to enjoy such a long life, blessed with good health, and everything necessary to make life’s journey pleasant, that his very aoul would be imbued with happiness and a good will toward his family when they convened last Tuesday to honor him on his eighty-second birthday. He was on our steets happy and smiling, but who wouldn’t smile alter eating a hearty dinner and receiving so many presents. Two pair* of silk socks, one hundred cigars, a Cleveland badge and hat, and white silk neck-tie were among the presents tendered him by Mr. and Mrs. Israel (Bub) King, «f Little Rock, Arkansas. The day and all was sunshine to Mr. King, Ww hi* friends did not think his cup of joy Was yet iuH, so the same old drum-corps, consisting of Jonathan Fleming, John J. Mayer, of this office, and Benjamin Pillers, (Mr. Fleming being conspicuous with Mr. King in Democratic Rally* forty years ago,) repared to his home, accompanied by about fifty of his friends, ifhe jpusic was cheering and it aroused fthp so the f»ct the “mob” had not gome to do harm but to piesent him a new euit of clothes, which were handed him by Joe Bremercamp, with a few brief remarks jMch reminded Mr. King that the gift Wgs made in behalf of his many friends. A few pieces of music were played in which Uncle Jake performed on the bass dram, and the party departed. The Democrat joins his family in wishing that the Closing part of his journey of life may be .jirewp with tfa; flowers of true happiness. King’s first vpte was for Jackson and hi* last Cleveland, having never voted any other than the Democratic ticket. Smoke C- B.
