The Democrat regrets very much
to learn of the serious illness of that
good woman, Mrs. Jennie Jones, who
has been with her daughter, Mrs. Grif-
fin, of Masonville. Mrs. Jones has not
been at all well for some weeks and
her family and friends are much con-
cerned about her condition. We trust
that she may be restored to good
health soon. Her son, Lester Jones,
of Pennsylvania, came the first of the
week to spend few days with his
mother.
