Ing in the Fourteenth Virginia Cavalry,

Mr.. Jones was an engineer by trade.
and he was a good one. For some years
he was employed on the Farmville and
Powhatan Road. Later on. he became
quite active in politics. and was elect
ed a Justice Of the peace in Madison
Ward. Subsequently. he was appointed
to position in the custom house and
when he had to give up that office was
reelected a justice.
HIS LAST ILLNESS,
When the chain-gang was establlshe ed
he was put in charge OF It.. and served
IL that capacity until few months ago,
when his health failed him, A short
while ago he was taken to the Soldiers
Home.
a very sad feature in connection with
his death Is that while he was dying
the mem bers Of the Board Of Aldermen
were discussing resolution to pay him
Ss1 for service which he had been phys
ically unable to render. Those who OPP
posed 1t were among his best friends.
but they objected for fear that this
would be setting bad precedent. Each
one who thought it was his duty to
Richmond to object to the resolution
would gladly have given the money out
OF his own pocket to Mr.. Jones or to

IN POLITICS.
Mr.. Jones was a born politician. He
was one OF the staunchest Democrats in
the city He was the organizer and the
head Of q club In "Sugar-Bottom." When.
ever his party called upon him he was
ready to serve wherever sent. About City
Hall he was familiar figure. and he
was often q visitor, and very welcome
one, to the newspaper offices. Every
newspaper man In the city knew him
and liked him, Wherever he went he
carried sunshine. His was a most ge-
ninl disposition. He looked upon the
bright side of life and whether good
fortune was his part or ill-luck came to
him. he was always the same Frank
Jones. There was warmth in the grasp
Of his hand. There was sincerity In his
manner. and there was about him all
that goes to make up q character to be
loved and admired.
HIS FAMILY.
Mr.. Jones was vice married. His first
wife died several years ago, leaving a
bright boy. now about thirteen years Of
age. His second wife was Miss Holder,
Of Richmond, She survives him with
three children by this union. In their
rooms on South Fifth Street this widow
and four children are mourning tho death
Of one Of the best of husbands and
fathers, They are penniless. Mr.. Jones
had no insurance upon his life. But
he had friends, and It Is hardly likely
that they will lot his family suffer.

that education Ia more general among

be further noted that while Baptists and
Methodists have been busly at work for
moro than half century building up
their own schools. Episcopalians have
concentrated their attention on the State
