JOlSS. la liilliftl4 known to Springdale people as "Uncle Buck, responded to the final summons Thursday evening of last week at half past nine o'clock, at his home near the Auditorium, his death being due to heart trouble and BriSht's dis ease. He had been Ill for more than two years. and for several months past has been confined to his bed. Funeral services were held al the family residence Fri day afternoon at three o'clock, conducted by Ed. Edward Hale, and the remains were inferred Ill Bluff Cemetery.

Seven children were born 10 this union, all of whom are dead except two, the living being Lucy ]. Noble, Cone, Texas, and Henrietta West, Graham, Texas. Mr. Jones Was not permitted to enjoy the eon-  panionship of the wife of his youthful days but a few years, and after her death he, on Oeto- Der 5, 1865, was united Ill mar rage to N. J. Graves, who sur wives him. Like the first mar rage, this one also occurred in Tennessee. and as result of the union eight children were born, six of whom are living.

Eight years ago he came to Springdale, which has since been hls home. His life, with the exception of the time he resided in Springdale, was spent on a farm. He had been a member of the Christian Church for many years.

But meath the rough exterior there beat d kind heart. He was man of generous impulses, and had host of friends who sincere ly mourn his death.

New Haven, Conn, April IL. 1903.
and John l.. Gibson Secretary, New
Haven High School Alumni Asjo.,
New Haven, Connecticut.
Dear Sirs: | referred your letter
of the Sth to the directors of the New
Haven Water company ut their last
meeting and II received their most
careful attention. They all appreciate
what YOU say about the necessity of
physical development for our High
school boys and many of the board
are men who have taken very active
part IN the development OF our city
and are much interested in all that
pertains to its prosperity and to the
best interests of all its citizens. As
directors of this company they feel It
to be their first duty to, as far as pos
sible, protect the purity of the public
water supplies and are voting large
sums of money each year with that
end In view,
The use of storage reservoirs. such
as Lake Whitney, for purposes of
amusement Is generally condemned by
water works experts even whore the
water Ia filtered and in many cities
| throughout the country It Is entirely
forbidden. The danger of contamlna-
ton arises not only from those who
actually use the water for rowing, etc,
but also, In large degree, from hose
who assemble on the banks to witness
the sports or contests on the water
and who are very difficult to control,
! The present use of our reservoirs for
these purposes Is a survival of the
time when the contamination of water
supplies was little understood and less
considered. There have been no new
privileges granted for at least fifteen
years though there have been many
applicants and If your request IN be-
half Of the High school boys was
granted It would open the way to such
general use of Lake Whitney as
would prove very disastrous.
In this connection ] will add that
the use Of Lake whitney by the Yale
Navy has always been considered a
temporary one and will terminate
with the present year.
The criticisms of the privileges row
granted to the public on Lake Whit
ney and Saltonstall are numerous aud
are constantly increasing as our peo-
ME become more educated to the alb
solute necessity of maintaining the
purity Of the water used for dom 's.ic
purposes.
| might give specific instances of
contamination to the reservoirs, gen
orally due to thoughtlessness, from
persons who have enjoyed the privi'
lere Of using them, but think It hard
" necessary to do SO In this letter,
The above considerations led the
directors to unanimously pass the
following vote:
THAT the petitions from the Ath
letic associations connected with the
New Haven High school for perm's
sion to use Lake Whitney for boatlnl
purposes be and are respectfully de
MED and the president is requested
to transmit copy of this vote to tht
petitioners and explain the nccessit!
Of this action by the directors
fully appreciate the need of
fresh water lake convenient - New
Haven that can be used for boating
skating, etc, and trust that some wa
may be devised to provide one inde
pendent of the city's water supply ]
l can aid you in any other way II
