The past and present of Vermilion County, Illinois .. . ldin the highest esteem. He has a very wideactjuaintance gained through his long resi-dence in Vermilion county. His memorygoes back to the time when this section ofthe state was but sparsely settled, w hen Indi-ans still visited the district, for it was sev-eral years after the arrival of the family be-fore the Black Hawk war occurred. Theland was yet unclaimed for the uses of thewhite man, only here and there was a set-tlement to show that the rq^resentatives ofthe white race had made their way into thisdistrict. Mr. Jones can relate many inter-esting incidents of those early days and takespleasure in recalling events which occurredat that time and yet. he does not live in thepast, but still maintains an active interest inthe present and rejoices in what \ermilioncounty has accomplished. He certainly de-serves mention as one of its leading agricult-urists and his life record proves what splen-did advantages Illinois offers to the wide-awake and energetic farmer. c umivek: Qc ILJKOIS.
