citizens, was buried on Wednesday. tic
died on Monday night, at the home ii
his son-in-law Jas. NJ. Kits, about :
O'Clock, after being confined to his bed
about three weeks. The funeral service
was conducted by Rev. Geo. Buston, Rev.
Mr. Ruff taking part in the service. Mr..
Jones was born in Botetourt county IN
the year 1918. He was a blacksmith by
trade. He came to 1azewell about 30
years ago. He owned the property
where Mrs. Elizabeth Peery ROW lives. on
West Main street. his shop being o. the
same lot. Here he worked Mt lis trade
until failing health compelled him 20
give it up. His wife died about twenty
years ago. Mr.. Jones had two sons and
five daughters, all of whom are living

ed father.
Mr.. Jones was a member OF the Meth

can say that he did not live consistent

citizen. attending to his own affairs, and
strictly refraiuing from meddIing in the
affairs OF Others. He suffered for years
and years with cancer, but was patient
through it all, and the end came peace
fuliy and quiet. He wrapped the irap-
cry oil his couch about him, us one who
lies down to pleasant dreams.
Thus, another link ia the chain which
unites the past with the present, has
been broken. Eighty years seems n long

much frightened, Others were awakened

sound and shaGing meant until it was
over. Many others were not wax, ned

all over the State, and in parts O. North
Carolina. Though the shock is known
to be the severest for years, no damage
was done SO far as we have learned.

Carriages were at a premium and

to accept an engagement on the instant
They preferred to negotiate awhile and
as a rule profited tenfold or maybe
more thereby.
With the exception of the arrange
ments at the main entrance to the
Capitol the committees having the af-
fair in charge had performed their
work most acceptably, but through
some oversight the guests were driven
under a portico that afforded little or
no protection from the rain and landed
on flooded steps in darkness so intense
that, save for the dim glare that strug-
gled through the doorway, it would have
been impenetrable. Why no light was
placed in the entrance, when there was
so much of il to spare just within, is
something that nobody saw fit to ex-
plain. However. that was merely an
incident of the grand event.
Guests began to arrive at an un-
seemly hour, but they were, for the
most part, more intent upon securing
places of vantage in the galleries than
they were in actively participating in
the dance. The fotunda and Railways

ball of four years ago. Once in a while
a wearer manifested an inclination to
ring up the cash register whenever he
saw a glass of lemonade handed out.
Others struck an easy posture against
the wall remaining n1otionless for
hours, giving ample evidence of their
usual occupation as flgureheads for
Market-street cigar stands. But every
body was happy and altogether salts

The well was dry for the night. and
although there were numerous invita-
tions TO make secret incursions into
dark recesses, which were invariably

wings furnished a delightful prone

floor were thrown open for use as re-

The Governors party was fashion
ably late in arriving. and of course
nothing could be done beyond prom
enading and listening to the music
until the executive arrived.
Some of the costumes worn by the
ladies were magnificent, others were
handsome, and from the latter they
graduated down to the chic tailor

Most of the men were in evening dress,
many of them for the first time, and
everybody knew it. Some Of the dress
coats showed -obliterated soup
stains and mark of the accompanying
towel over the shoulder. The creases

MENTO, Jan. 9-Without it was as
dark and dismar as only a midwinter
night in Sacramento can be. The rain
dashed against the panes of the flying
carriages in torrents, making the fair
occupants shiver apprehensively. With
in the great Capitol building it was a
glare of light and brilliant costumes.
Whispering, scheming lawmakers had
laid aside their official garb for the
nonce and donned the evening apparel
of society, and instead Of lodging job
chasers they mingled with the youth
and beauty of the State.
The Governor ball, the formal event
that quadrennially marks the installa-
ton of a new administration, was in
progress. Such a night as this the cap
ital city has not experienced this win
ter. The day opened dull and lowering.
but toward noon a rift in the gray
clouds gave partial promise of clearing

was, was broken. A chilling wind
sprang up and along in the afternoon

After these had withdrawn the tables
were reset and the invited guests were
served. For two hours the walters were
driven frantic by the demands of hun
CRY revelers for something to eat, and
those who were among the last to reach
the tables Jared rather meagerly. But
though supper was scarce pleasure was
plentiful and the ball did not break up
until early this morning.
Altogether the ball was a pronounced
success, for although few of the society
people of San Francisco came up to
attend it, every other section of the
State was represented by its best peo-
pie. The affair reflected great credit
upon those who had it in charge, as

One thing is quite certain. Senator
Bulla is from certain quarters and to
certain extent receiving what is known in
gambling parlance as ''the double cross.
There are some people from Los Angeles
who are pretending to support Senator
Bulla, who. as matter of fact; are lay,
ing wake nights TO aid the Senatorial
canvass of the man from Mexico Sena-
tor Bulla and those of his supporters who
are really heart and soul in his fight are
posted as to these individuals, and they
are not taken into fun CONFIDENCE at any
time The inside of the Bulla fight has
already been betrayed once to Milton
Green, Grants manager, and it is not
proposed that it shall occur again.
Walter R. Bacon, one of the Grant
leaders from Los Angeles, states tonight
that the Grant people have made three
votes to-day TO add to their roll. They
will not come on the first joint ballot, but
will on the second. Ex-Congressman W.
w. Bowers is of the opinion that the fight
is between Grant and Burns, with the
chances in favor of Grant. He thinks
that unless a result is reached by Satur-
day Bulla or some other man who has no
strong following on the start will then
commence to figure in the race.

MENTO, Jan. 9.-All day long an effort
has been made by the Grant men to do
something with the Bulla forces, but it
has proven to be utterly fruitless The
Bulla men have been proof against all
effort or endeavor TO do anything with
them, looking to a break to the San Diego
man at any stage of the game. Assem-
blyman Mellick of Riverside, stanch
supporter of Grant, called on Senator
Bulla early in the day and had a long
conference with him, but it proved to be
devoid of results. Some of the other sup
porters of Grant called on Senator Bulla
and extended to him their good wishes
and assurances that if they left Grant
they would come TO him.

while Lieutenant Governor NefT and

radiant and won the hearts of all who
were presented to her.
After the opening dance all
sought to enjoy themselves according

many found pleasure in dancing in one
