tyfive years and which cost the lives
OF millions and caused to be ma'tyred

ties Of his Office, g~entleness, diplomacy
and q head full of good common sense,
which fit him for the discussion of bus
mess matters with all classes, the farm
er, the merchant, the business man.

human nature, made no mistake, for a
man Of Johnnie Jones' even temperament
