Charles Mr.. Charles said:
The National road should be the

careless. Many tourists will pass over
that road and realize what a fine city
Richmond is, who would otherwise not

Columbus Jones, Negro, Was
Found Dead in Bed.

Columbus Jones. colored. living at
the corner of North Fourteenth and H
streets, was found dead in bed this
morning. Jones has been suffering
from tuberculosis and his immediate
death was the result OF a hemorrhage
OF the lungs.
His death was one of the saddest
cases that recently has been reported
10 the authorities. He saved enough
money TO rent small shack on Four
teenth street and has been renting
some of the rooms TO other colored
men. He has been confined to his
bed for several weeks and through the
day had to remain alone, as his room
ers were at work His sufferings
were great according TO the physician
who attended him. Often he had
nothing to eat except what was
brought to him by his associates.
