Before most Greensboro citi-
zens had even contemplated get
ting out of bed last Thursday
morning, Ambus Bonner, we'll
known genial manager and own
er of the Royal Palm cafe, had
gone as usual to the cafe to
drink his habitual early-morn-
ing cup Of coffee. To the dismay
of his friends, Bonner never
finished his coffee on this par
ticular morning, for he was
stricken with a heart attack, and
despite the efforts of his friends
to get him to the hospital as
soon as possible, Bonner died
quietly before anything could be
done.
Bonner, who resided at 425
Banks Street, about 73 years of
age at his death. During his
eventful life,, he served in the
Spanish American War and in
World War 1. He came to
Greensboro in 1918 from his
home in Atlanta, Ca, to enter
A. & T. College as a soldier in
training for the war. After the
war, Bonner settled down as a
good citizen here, making
friends of all with whom he
came in contact. Making active
and progressive participation in
civic activities his creed, Bonner
became a member of St. Johns
Masonic Lodge, the American
Legion, the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, and the Elks of Green's
boro. He also took very active
interest in sports, following
faithfully the progress Of the
Goshen Red Wings for many
years. Throughout his period of
residence in Greensboro, Bon
ner proved himself a worth
while citizen and an excellent
example for others to follow.
Surviving Bonner are one
brother and his wife, Mrs. Ella
Bonner. Funeral services will be
held Sunday, July 20, at the In
stitutional Baptist Church. The
exact time has not yet been des-
ignated. Rev. C. w. Anderson
will officiate at the funeral, and
interment will follow at the
Maple Wood Cemetery ! p. m.

regrettable mistake.
Finally the story hit the big
city dailies and waive of senti-
ment for : the lucky Negro
reached it's climax in an an
nouncement Wednesday from XII

Charles w. Armstrong of Sails
bury that the Ahoskie Club had
authorized him to announce that
the Negro would be given
Cadilla clike the one he almost
got on June 10.
I'm Sure Glad
When told of his belated good
fortune Wednesday afternoon in
a circle of local and out-of-state
newspaper reporters, Jones said,
I'm sure glad they decided to
give me something.
Questioned about the use OF
a big car up the almost impass-
able lane that connects his home
to the Ahoskie-Winton highway,
Jones declared, "a Cadillac is
too big"
"Had you rather have car
or the cash?" Jones was asked.
"I'll take the cash if it's possi-
ble," he replied.
Photographers were busy
swapping shots of Jones, his wife,
infant child, and his father. His
only comment on so much fan
fare was "Are you through,
mister?"
