Though Mr. Jones receives but little
and, in fact, has not mingled freely in So
ciety since the death of his father, Oba
diah w. Jones, some years ago, the writ
or was received with urbane courtesy
when he called at the elegant residence
OF William II. Jones, few days ago. Mr.
Jones, who appeared in excellent health
and spirits, greatly resembles his father
in many ways, but in none more COM
MIA lv hat Int vii oh
he performs all his undertakings. This
has been shown of late by the manner in
which he has rebuilt the long line Of
fence in front of the spacious grounds of
his home on Main street. This fence was
in process of reconstruction at the last
visit of the writer, but the work has now
been entirely finished, even to the paint,
which is white and yellow and in har-
mony with the exterior of the house.
This house is almost the only one in the
street which has not been sold or trans
ferred within the past few years. 1t is
now occupied by Mr. Jones alone, though,
years ago, it was the home of father,
mother and family of 10 children.
"Some are married, some are dead;"
three of the brothers are in business in
New York, where they have an office at
Broome and Lewis streets and are iden-
titled with the great firm of Jones & Co.,
whose "Superlative" flour is a household
word throughout the country. 1t is de-
clared by many to be the best flour made
In the world and so great is the demand
for 1t that the firm is almost constantly
behind its orders, notwithstanding the
facilities it enjoys for the daily product
ion of an immense quantity of flour. So
wide is its popularity, indeed, that
an English gentleman has thoughts
Of buying a quantity for the city
OF London. Eugene Jones, one of the
brothers OF William Il. Jones, has an ele-
CANT home at Tarrytown-on-Hudson
which he bought about two years ago.
The taste displayed in its renovation and
Improvement has won many words of
commentator and has made the resi-
dence of Mr. Jones noted, even among
those that line the banks of the beautiful
Hudson.
