No improvement was shown, and during the last few days his demise had been expect ed, although when the news came it was a shock to those' who were closely associated with, him. Mr. John II. Ausbon -was about fifty-two years of aee. Born iu Washington county, where he re sided for the first twenty years of his life. His father' was Joe Ausbon, who married Miss Mar tha Walters, both of them being natives of Washington county. For several years after coming here the deceased worked in several businesses, but about twenty years ago he branched out for himself, since Avhich time he has been one of our merchants. About the same time he married Miss Nannie White, daughter of Mr. A. White. Three children were the issue of this marriage. but all died when young, and six years after marriage the wife died also, since which time the deceased remained a widower, and lived with his sister, Mrs. Cottee Everett. He is survived by two brothers Mr. R. II. Ausbon of Hobgood, and Mr. E. W. Ausbon of Rocky Mount, and one sister, Mrs. Cot tee Everett of Scotland Neck. The remains were brought back from Richmond on the morning train yesterday, and taken to the home. At half past two the relatives and friends by the pall-bearers, of Messrs., Sam A. trovers v.

Nobody believes for a moment that Mr. Holton would have hired an automobile to go about the state, proclaiming Dick Reynolds' gift, but since . some body else is beneficiary nobody expects Mr. Holton to keep quiet. It will take a great deal of Mr. Holton 's speech to out-talk Mr. Reynolds' money. Mr. Reynolds apparently is supporting the Democratic party entirely out of gratitude for the Federal Reserve Act. He is many time a millionaire but often must borrow and his faith is this year pinned to the Federal Reserve Act, so it's said over the State. Mr. Reynolds must bor row money occasionally and here tofore he has assumed risks even for himself in signing a paper subject to any banker's whim. With the Federal Reserve Act at work he can go to Richmond and come back with an unconscion able amount of kale. ED. LEWIS BURNED. BY GASOLINE TON OF COTTC17 BY E!?L.L1 3. i.'.-.i. . i.
