PUT UP HIS PIPE AND DIED.
-----
The Sudden Death, from Heart Disease, of Mr. George W. King, of Long Creek 
Township.

Mr. George W. King, a prominent citizen of Long Creek township, Mecklenburg 
county, died suddenly yesterday afternoon at his home.

Mr. King had been ploughing and sowing oats all day.  About 4 o'clock in the 
afternoon he came in from the fields, lighted his pipe, and enjoyed a smoke.  
He was playing with one of his grandchildren, when, rising from his chair, he 
knocked the ashes from his pipe, placed the pipe on the mantel, and resumed his 
seat.  Almost immediately he gave a gasp and fell over dead.

Dr. John R. Irwin, who examined the body, said that the cause of Mr. King's 
death was heart disease.

Mr. King was in his 53d year.  He leaves a wife and seven children.  He was a 
brother to Mr. C. C. King.
