During our brief stay in Norton it was our pleasure to call on Dr. N. L. Jones, one of Norton county’s early and most respected citizens. Dr. Jones is a native of Indiana. He took a course in the Rush Medical College at Chicago and graduated at that institution in 1882. He practiced his profession for three years near his birthplace; but, owing to the state of his health at that time, he decided to come west, and in 1885 he located in Norton and began to practice. Perseverance, combined with good medical training, soon won him distinction in his new home. Though he relates some trying experiences, he says he is well satisfied with the location, and from a standpoint of health he could not cite one to a better. country. He conducts a drugstore, which is a great convenience to him in practicing medicine, as well as a source of revenue. The well-selected stock and general appearance of the store shows that he takes a just pride in this line as well as to keep fully abreast of his profession. He is by nature hospitable, very pleasant and commands a large practice.
