JUNE 7,

In Commendation of a New Business Firm,—Jones & McClure Undertakers.

We regret to say that Oxford has lost one of her most prosperous young business men, by the removal of A. O. Jones to Greenfield, Ind., where he will continue his business. We can say to the citizens of Greenfield that Mr. Jones is an expert undertaker. The close application he has made to his business together with the skill with which he conducts a funeral, places him where he stands as an undertaker. There is never any disorder or delay, but everything moves quietly and promptly under hia charge.

The wishes of the friends are always carried out to their entire satisfaction. Little points that others in his business let pass unobserved, receive due attention from him.

His mode of preparing the grave, removes much of the gloom that otherwise accompanies the last farewell to loved ones. This has taken well with our people and it no doubt, will take with others. His sympathy for the friends leads him to remove as much of the sadness as is possible. When once employed in a family, he never fails to receive their patronage. He has made his business a study and is always up with the times. He has taken a course in embalming and his work here has shown that he thoroughly understands the art.

In a word, Mr. Jones is a most wonderful undertaker. In the Jones & McClure firm, Greenfield gains two of our most worthy citizens, honest, upright, moral men. Onr best wishes go with them.
