Langdon R. Jones made little
fuss about it, but for several years,
he has been studying law. He
took lectures, in St. Louis, until
called here to look after the inn
mense business left by his lament
led father, R. H. Jones, and since
, his death, has not had the time
that he really needed. However,
he burned midnight oil, and was
! repaid for his efforts, last week in
being accepted by the the State
Board of Law Examiners, he hav-
: ling taken examination at Jefferson
City, December IL. So, now, as
o soon as he can get into a court,
r here, most likely, he will be a full
hedged practitioner. All who know
r him and understand his energy,
Q will predict for him a brilliant
: career.-DunkIin Democrat.
