C. H. AYRES DIED
SUNDAY MORNING
Looses In Long Battle For Life.
Funeral Sunday After
noon at 5 O'clock

Mr.. c. II. Ayres, viee-president of
the Columbus National Bank, died
last Sunday morning just after mid
night. He had been sinking for the
past several days and it was realized
that he could live but short while
longer. He breathed his last at
l2:45 and thus ended heroic fight
for life which extended back several
years.
Afflicted with eancerous growth
several years ago he went under the
knife Of celebrated surgeons, several
times, believing that he was cured,
only to find that his malady returned
under aggravated form. Several
weeks ago he again went to New Or
leans for an operation and for sew
eral weeks he lowered between life
and death there, returning to his
home here few weeks ago. The re-
turn home seemed to benefit him and
for awhile the hope and courage Of
his friends was again revived only
to be again disappointed the past
week in the tidings that the end was
near. Mr.. Ayres met death resigned
ly and herocially. Through all the
years of his suffering he knew the
ultimate end and he sustained him
self in his business and social rela-
tions to the last. An intense sufferer
he never murmured or complained and
he met his fate as a Christian and as
a man.
Claude H. Ayres was in his sixty
fifth year. Orphaned early in his
life he was the mainstay Of a family
and he accepted manfully the re-
sponsibility thrust upon him. He was
married to Miss Sallie Whitfield and
his wife and two children survive
him, Mrs. C. H. Ayres, Mrs. John R.
Tackett and Mr. Quincy Ayres. One
brother, Mr.. Raymond Ayres also
survives him.
Entering the employment of the
old Columbus Insurance and Banking
Company as a boy he served this in
stitution with fidelity for fifty years
attaining the vice-presidency Of the
institution as mark Of esteem from
the directorate and as an honor worth
lily won only a few days before his
death.
( As a husband and father his rel.
ations were ideal, as a citizen his lifC
was exemplary, as a man he was this
personfication Of honor and useful
ness. His going away is a profoune
loss to the whole community.
I The funeral was held on Sunday
afternoon from the First Presbyter
ian church of which he had been .
long and consistent member. Rev
| Timmons, of Tuscaloosa, the Presby
terian pastor temporarily here, con.
Quoted the obsequies and the inter
ment followed in Friendship Gene
terry. The Honorary pail bearers
were: Messrs. L. Marx, c. l.. Lincoln
lJ. 7. Wood, and d. F. Mccullough
while the following were the active
pail bearers: Messrs. I. J. Locke
Parker Reeves, J. r. Richards, G. Y

Location

The site for Nitro was selected by the
Government at a point which repre-
sents the shortest distance to the larg-
est number of important cities and
supply centres. Nitro lies in the heart
of the West Virginia coal mining dis
trict, producing the finest steam and

rentals for houses in this district.
These lowrents and extremely low cost
OF fuel, water, electric light-the small
