much it was ours to know, that he was
a man of large intelligence-wha the
world would call brainy man. He was
a great reader and in his life had gotten
together fine library, most of which
was burned few years ago when his
house and much of its contents was de-
strOyed by fire. This was a great loss
to him and one which he always greved
over, as so many of his books were
precious beyond their monied value.
Many years ago Mr.. Jones spent several
years in California. He was largely
identified with the Spanish Merino sheep
interests here, being an extensive breed
er, and the produce of his fine flock has
gone to many different states, and to his
estate belongs the residue with the
strong popularity and excellence. lie
had held many offices within the gift of
the people in his town and county, was a
shrewd politician, saw with a keen
insight the workings of any plan. Was a
staunch supporter of the Baptist church
of which for many years he was a mem
Der, leading always in supporting the ex-
penses of the church, which his means
allowed him to do. He was the last of
his generation, the youngest and the last
to go of his fathers family. "He who
dies pays all debts,' so one more has
settled the score and gone over the river
to the loved ones on the other side.
