 Jones Will Stay Here.
 After due consideration, F. R. "Dy- namite" Jones has decided not to ac- cept the offer from the DuPont pow der people, which was reported in yesterdays news. MT. Jones' business has been on the increase for the past few months and he has enough orders on hand to keep him busy for some time to come in the immediate vicin- ity. He has contracts in several of the surrounding towns and cities, which prevent his accepting the flat tering offer of the New York concern.
 When he has finished these con- tracts, he will give demonstration on ditch between Meriden and Walling- ford withe the DuPont product. That company will dig a ditch 5000 feet long, five feet wide and four feet deep. This is the largest job of it's kind in New England. MT. Jones will do the work on 200 feet as a demon stration of his ability. The news that he has decided to remain here was received with delight about town this morning.
