To tin- Recorder:—
in reading the "Recorder" I see a
number of letters endorsing different
candidates for iiosltlons on the county

A resident of Montgomery County.
ami a great admirer of my soi.ii.-r
friend. Comrade Jones, 1 reel It my du-ty
to write a few words favoring his
nominal ion for County Treasurer this
Fall.
He is possessed of many udmirable
qualities and would All the position
with honor to his town and with dig-nity
to himself nnd the party which
be i.-presents.
I wna closely associated with him
In the late Civil War, and In business
since then, and know whereof I speak.
When the Civil War broke out. and
..in country was on the verge of dis-solution,
the President called fortroopa
to support the (lovernment and to
protect our flag and homes. Comrade
Jones, then only n boy, answered the
call, and proved himself worthy. to
wear the uniform, as his record will
show. Always at the front In battle,
flrst on the, icconnoltrelng line, he
proved himself worthy of his calling.
After the battle you would And him
pursuing the enemy, or looking after
the dei|l, wound or sick.
1 cannot fail to mention one act of
his humane kindness. On one of our
moves to battle, in the spring of '63.
General Hooker took command ol the
Army of the Potomac. He ordered a
move at once. We broke up our win-ter
quarters and the sick was sent to
Aqultt Uindlng. We 11 do I remember
Comrade Jones' kindness on that 00-
casiun. I being one of the sick. He
came nnd snw us loaded into the ambu-lance
train, bid us good-bye and rode
.pil. kly hack to his command that was
faBt m.1,1111 nn: to Kelly's Ford to gel
into position for the Battle of Chan-ecllorsvllle.
Hardly had we arrived at Aqula
Ijin.ling before the wounded cavalry-men
were brought In from the engage-ment
with the enemy's outpost at the
Ford, At that place our cavalry
charged their guns, rode into their
rifle pits nnd hnd hand to hand encoun-ter.
It was there that Col. Oewees
was raptured and afterwards died
while a prisoner. His widow Is now
an esteemed resident of our county.
After participating In the battle of
Chnncellorsvllle nnd the long forced
marches that followed, we find Com-rade
Jones at the front at Gettysburg.
His division arrived there Hist and
drove the enemy out of the town. The
next morning, early In the saddle, he
hears the first gun fired by the enemy.
where the statue of his old command-er.
General llufnrd. now stands.
He continues the campaign with
Hi.nit until the surrender of General
I... II.- returns to Washington, pass-es
in the grand review, and conies hack
to his nntive town, his loved ones and
friends, nnd enters Into business with
the firm of which he is now the master
spirit.
As a citizen of Consbohockeu you
find him always doing something for
th.- advancement of the community:
giving his time, business knowledge
and his money for Its success.
He takes great pride in the public
schools, and in the education of child-ren
that will make them valuable men
and women.
He also gives much of his time to
the llullding nnd l.oan Associations
encouraging the people to save money
that they may own their own homes.
He Is Intci.sled in everything that Is
for tlie advancement and comfort of
his fellow mnn.
I could relate many of his acts of
charity to the needy, and of kindness
to his friends, hut will not take up
vu.i spa.e
I believe that his past services to
his country in wnr, and the community
in pence, entitles him to the nomina
lion by acclamation.^
