FUNERAL OF DR. EDWARD JONES, J.P., DOLGELLEY. AN IMPRESSIVE SERVICE. The many expressions of regret and sympathy which the family of Dr Edward Jones has received show how deeply appreciated and loved he was in the county and throughout the whols of Wales. Amongst the letters and telegrams of condolence was one from Mr Herbert Roberts, M.P., which stated that the Welsh members had heard with deepest regret the news of the death of Dr Ed Jones and had desired him to convey their sincere sympathy." Mr Wynne, Peniarth, the lord-lieuten- c' ant, writing from London, said, I regret that owing to the illness of Mrs Wynne I cannot possibly attend Dr Jones's funeral to-morrow, otherwise I should be among the first to pay every respect to his memory." The Hon C H Wynn, Rlrag, wrote that it was with very great regret that he had heard of Dr Jones's death, and he deeply sympa- thised with Mrs Jones and the family. He would tniss him very much both in public and as a per- sonal friend, and his loss would cause a great gap which could not easily be filled. Professor T Mortimer Green, on behalf of Aberystwyth College, wrote that as Principal Roberts was unable to be present as he had to attend a meeting in London the College had requested Professors Anwyl and Edward Edwards to represent them, and the College Council by the Rev T Levi, Mr Peter Jones, and Mr D C Roberts. The Mayor of Aberystwyth was confined to his bed, or he would also attend on behalf of the College. Mr 0 M Edwards wrote, "I regret that we can now do nothing more than con- dole after one who has done so much for Wales." Principal Roberts said he shared in the universal feeling that the death of Dr Edward Jones is a great public loss. Mrs Ellis, wife of the late Mr T J3 Ellis, M.P., wrote, Since my great trouble I have always thought of the meeting of the dear ones, and how Mr ,Ellis has welcomed one of his greatest friends home, and as he once told me of Dr Jones,' he is the best friend I have in Merioneth- shire, and I can only express my gratitude to him.' Mr D Lloyd George, M.P., wrote, I cannot tell how- sorry I waa to learn of year father's death. There was no man in Wales for whom I had a greater regard and admiration. His earnestness -and sincerity of character and conviction, the integrity of his motives, the firmness with which he adhered to his principles through good and ill report, and the eloquence with which he advocated them-all these and many more exalted qualities which made him such a power for good-won the aniversal esteem of all his countrymen." Letters were also received from Mr R Robertson, Pale Mr Osmond Williams, vice-chairman of Quarter Sessions; Mr 0 Slaney Wynne, Dolrhyd; Dr Roger Hughes, Bala; Mr Haydn Jones, J.P., Towyn and very many others.
