JONES'.

JUN ES.
John Earl Jones, infant son of Mr..
and RMS. Walter Jones, died at their
home in Springdale Friday evening as
the result of a peculiar accident. The
little fellow was only fifteen months
old, and Wednesday evening while at
tempting to climb the back of chair
occupied by a member of the family,
he fell, and lead pencil which he
had in his mouth was forced down his
throat until it penetrated the region
of the lungs 1t was a new pencil,
never having been sharpened, and
only about an inch and a half of the
pencil protruded from the mouth when
the child was picked up. He gave
evidence of intense suffering, and it
seemed that nothing could be done to
afford relief.
Funeral services were held at
Friendship Church Saturday after
noon at three o'clock, conducted by DIR.
r. T. Phillips, pastor of Central Pres
byterian Church, and the remains
were inferred in Friendship Cemetery,
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones have the sympa-
thy of the entire community in the
