Deaths. Again are we called upon to chronicle the sad fact of the death of several citizens of our county within a short time. Mrs. Martha King, daughter of Gideon Shockley, dee’d, and sister of our worthy countyman, C. M. Shockley, Esq., died on Monday or Tuesday last. Mrs. K. was the widow of Abram King, dee’d, and lived some six or eight miles west of Jefferson. A very sad dispensation has been visited on the family of Mr. Elijah Veal, who lives in Randolph's District, Jackson county. Four of Mr. Veal’s children died but recently, in a very short time of each other, of pneumonia. Three of them, two males and one female, had, but a comparatively little while previous, been married—all in the same family—that of Mr. Puckett, of the same neighborhood, we suppose.
