IF. SCOTT RITES
TO BE HELD TODAY

Continued from Page One)
During his years Of public ser
vice, he had been responsible for
much of the county's progress and
development and was particular
ly interested in road improve
ments. He was keenly interested
in the welfare Of less fortunate
people and gave personal aid to
many Of them.
He was Ashe county's oldest
merchant, having been engaged
in this for more than a half a CEN
fury. At the time of his death
he operated stores in both jeff
erson and West Jefferson. His
first store was located at Walnut
Hill, where he lived before COM
ing to Jefferson more than 80
years ago. He also had extern
sive farming interest.
He was native of Ashe coun-
ty and the son of the late Frank
lin Scott, pioneer of this section
for whom the town of Scottville
was named. He was married to
Miss Julia Greer, 81 years ago.
In addition to his wife, he is al
so survived by two sons, L. L.
Scott, well-known local insur-
ance man, Eugene Scott, local
merchant and two daughters, Mrs.
Gertrude Elliott, of Independence
and Mrs. Charles Denny. Several
grandchildren also survive.
Following the funeral service,
burial will be in the Jefferson
cemetery. Rev. B. A. Meeks, pas
tor of the Jefferson Presbyterian
church, of which Mr.. Scott had
long served as an elder, will be
in charge of the service. He will
probably be assisted by Rev. H.
H. Stone, of Charlotte, a former
pastor of the Jefferson church.

nation that the republicans of the
ninth congressional district of
North Carolina have faith enough
in Mr.. Doughton to- wish to-
strengthen his hands one more
time by making him the repre-
sentative of all the people of the

be followed in all political part

thus come to serve the interess of
all the people, particularly in

sirable trends of the New Deal in
his valuable representation for
many years. We ask the party
to consider also his position of

second almost only to that of the

himself, a national and political
situation unlike any rother4i any
