Holmes, one of Salisbury's oldest citizens, died yesterday afternoon, of paralysis of the heart. Mr. Holmes was 72 years old. He went to his office yesterday morning in apparently good health, when he was suddenly attacked by his fatal illness. Mr. Holmes was one of the best men of Salisbury, and was held in high esteem, not only by the people of Salisbury, but of all Rowan county. He was a generous, liberal spirited man, and his death is regarded by the people of Salisbury as nothing short of a public calamity.
