REV. LAWRENCE JONES

We have just received word that our
old friend, the Rev. Lawrence Jones,
probably the oldest Methodist minis
ter in the United States, had finished
his work on Jan. 9th and without al
hours sickness had closed his eyes
and fell "asleep in Jesus" in the 95th
year of his age.
The reverend gentleman had large
circle of friends in Marion county,
having owned and lived on a beauti-
full orange grove located on the south
bank of Lake Weir, and on which even
when nearing his Goth year he did the
major part of the work.
He died at Lafayette, Ind, near
where in the year 1924 he was born
and where at the age of 20 he COM
menced his ministry, and became a
shining light in the Methodist con-
ference. He had lovable disposition
and made friends easily, and it was
very interesting TO hear him, recite
the early struggles of the "circuit
rider" also of the campaign of Henry
Clay in 1874 and of the visit to his
fathers house of Abraham Lincoln,
who was stumping the state in Clay's
behalf.
The Rev. Jones was never a robust
man, but continued to preach till 1874,
when he was compelled to retire from
the ministry and seek a home in the
sunny South. It looks somewhat like
a reflection on the falibility of the
scientific mind. that when in the early
sixties, wishing to join the army, he
was turned down twice on account of
feeble health, and for the same reason
he was never able to acquire life in
surance policy, as the examiners
claimed his health was too precarious,
yet he lived to be nearly 95.
The Rev. Jones went to Indiana last
June to stay at the home of a niece,
DR.. Adah Mcmahon, who is serving
as a surgeon, in a hospital for gassed
soldiers in France. A grandson, Lieut..
Lawrence Freeman, is in the signal
service in France. These. together
with Mrs. Agnes Jones, his widow,
one daughter and two granddaughter
constitute the loss of this great and
good man and to them each and all
our hearts go out in loving sympathy.

ALL SPACE TAKEN UP
South Florida Fair at Tampa Certain
to be a Great Success
(By o. D. Wetherelll

Tampa, Feb. 11.-With the arrival
of Howard Curry, field agent for the
South Florida Fair Association at the
headquarters of the Peninsular Tele-
phone Co. building, yesterday, an
nouncement was made that with one
exception, every space had been taken
in the two big exhibit buildings. All
that is left that has not been signed
for is in the woman's building, and
one section in the Snow building.
Every foot in exhibit building No. 2,
which is in charge of Russell Kay,
handling the manufacturers exhibits
and the. automobile show, has been as
signed.
at is far ahead of the last year.
Mr.. Curry says. SIN fact none of the
fairs have been sold out so far as ex-
hibit space goes this far in advance
of the opening. Two years ago at
this time. there were 10 or II spaces
open, although all were taken before
the gates opened. And this interest
on the part of exhibitors is equalled
throughout the country by the people
who are planning to visit the fair for
fro ma weeks to several days stay
between Feb. IL and Feb. 22."
In the Snow building, where the
general county and agricultural ex-
hibits will be found, the county ex-
hibits will be played as follows: Polk
county, girls canning clubs, Hernando
county, Tampa cigar industry, Hills
borough county, Pinellas county, Man
atee county, Lee county, Pasco coun-
ty, DeSoto county.
In the Hillsborough county exhibit
Mr.. Curry said, Plant City will take
two sections for the display of farm
products of that section. The Plant
City council appropriated $3.50 a few
days ago for the east Hillsborough
section of this county's general dis
play.

Their Will

Washington, Feb. 11.-(By the As

JAPs swIPED THE PAPERS

According to reports here threats
again China were conveyed to the Chi
nese foreign minister by the Japanese
minister at Peking in thinly veiled
terms. The japanese minister is said
TO have pointed out that Japan has an
army of a million men idle at home,
fully equipped for a long war and
more than half million tons of ship
ping, with the intimation this would
be ready on short notice for active
work. When the Chinese delegates
arrived in Paris, information now
available discloses, they reported that
their copies. of the secret treaties werL
stolen from their baggage while pass
ing through Japan, consequently they
are unable to make them public.

vantages and how helpless they would

this modern convenience.
To treat the modern automobile
lightly, as a plaything. is a mistake.
True. II is ready for recrea'ive pur-
