Joseph Martin Reece, editor of the Greens bopo Daily Record, died this morning at 10:30 o'clock, after an illness of two months, during which time his family and friends knew that it was only a question of time until the end would come. While the announce ment was not a surprise, ,news of his death, was everywhere received as a shock td people of the city. Arterlo sclerosis was the cause of his death, and during his two months illness he was unconscious nearly all the time, Saturday he began- sinking and this morning the end came peacefully. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock from the First Presbyterian church, of which he had long been a member. Rev.. Melton Clark, the pastor, will conduct the service. Deacons of the church will be pall bearers. During his illness he had requested that friends be asked not to send flowers, and have given directions for a simple' funeral. M,T. Reece is survived by his wid ow, who was before marriage Miss Alice (McCurray.- No children were born to the couple, but they reared as their own three children . of Mrs. Reece's sister, whom they loved as if their own children and upon whom they bestowed every parental affec tion. These are Mrs. Frank P. Mor ton, of Charlotte; Mrs. J. A. Wil liams, of Greensboro, and Mr. Charles H. Robertson, of Peoria, 111. At Jamestown, a village of this county, on June 11, 1848, Mr. -Reece was born. All of his 67 years and a little more were spent in this county i His father, William H. Reece, was for several years station agent at James town. When Mr. Reece was still a youth his father came to Greensboro and purchased the property on which the Record office now stands and which is still in the family. .This property was then occupied by a ho tel which Mr. Reece's father conducted. Early in life Mr. Reece entered a newspaper plant. Having obtained a taste of printer's ink he never left the work. He worked first in the mechanical department of the Greensboro Patriot, on other papers and was in the job business with Mesrs. C. F. Thomas and H. J. Elam, at different times. On November 17, 1&90, Messrs. Reece and Elam founded the Daily (Record, an afternoon papcjr, which has been regularly issued ever since. At first It was not a financial suc cess, hut in a few years it was well established, and is now a valuable piece of property. Its twostory ibuiflding occupies a Bite on - West Market street, where the old hotel of iMr. Reece's father stood. t li 1902 Mr. Elam sold his interest in the business to Mr. and Mrs.' Reece, but Mr. Elam is still connected with the paper as advertising manager. Mr. Reece was not a brilliant edi tor, but it is doubtful if the edito rials of any. man in the state were more generally read. He had a rare sense of humor, an easy and plain style of writing that had a charm of its own, and a vast ahiount of com mon sense that ever gave him poise. He was a good judge of men and measures, had intuition that, appalled people who tried to mislead him , and always spoke and wrote plainly what he thought. Some of his colloqiual and inimitable expressions that have so long been seen in The Record will be missed. Jle was ever a staunch democrat and believed in the princples of hte party. Yet he never hesitated to condemn the demagogue, the weak ling or the grafter, no matter his par ty. He never cared for office of any sort of preferment and refused any thing of the kind offered .him. Baseball was his recreation. He rarely missed a game in the city, and he rarely left the citv tn - B game or for any other purpose. He was a charter member of "Tammany," the circle of Greensboro's older men that met about the courthouse steps in summer and in County Treasurer McKinney's office in winter. This was his only club and lodge. This unique oody has no organization, yet its members are well known. They will attend the funeral in a body. 6 Pairs Guaranteed t Months.

On the top floor of an old brick building at Fulton street and C'asson avenue, Brooklyn, sat the oldest liv ing person in New York state yes terday, contentedly munching bread and stewed pears at the age of 116. She is Susan Gillis, who was a slave for sixty-three years before the eman cipation proclamation. That is, great grandchildren say they know she is 115 years old, although she may be a few years older. Her daughter, Julia Thomas, who is now eighty-four, and was also a slave with her mother, was in the same room, peeling potatoes and regarding the inquisitive reporter with a none too favorable eye. It .was tilaln that she did not fancy this sudden leap into publicity. But Susan, whose con versation is limited because of her age, gave a throaty little, chuckle at the fourth one today," and kept on eating her pears. The long lived family came into no tice through the recent census, for yesterday the state census bureau at Albany sent out a special story about them. The bald statement that Susan was 115, "no occupation,"" was not a fitting description of the picturesque old woman who was getting old dur ing the Petersburg campaign of the c'vil war. New York Sun.
