As Il general rule it is at best poor
policy Tor IL young man to burden
himself with debt And this rule is
especially applicable where the debt
is incurred because of a mode of life
beyond the means of Il person who
should be content to await for. ad-
yanclng years and greater earning
capacity to enable him to possess
the Injuries he Graves.
But III one instance the rule should
be waived. Interest is cheaper than
Tar cheaper-than rent, and when
Il man has been able to save Il con-
siderable portion of the cost of Il
home it is the part of wisdom for him
to augment his savings by a loan
and build or buy himself a home,
trusting to good fortune and his
power to save, will enable him to
gradually repay it.
n man who OWNS his home is both
happier man and better citizen
than he who is bound by no local ties;
and few incentives can more strong
ly or successfully impress upon the
mind the necessity of saving with the
result that a home is soon paid for,
and more over still a habit is formed
which through life will prove n most
valuable asset

John Pomphrette Blackwell.

' DntliDuICN.
The subject of this sketch John Pom
phrette Blackwell, was born in Granville
county, April Goth, 1916, and died at
hishome near Townesvillein Vance coun-
ty, Feb. Goth, 1906. In 1867 he made q
profession of religion and Joined the
Methodist Episcopal church, South, at
MarrOw's Chapel, under the ministry of
Rev Ira r. Wyche. In 1860 under the
ministry of Rev. H. II. Gibbons, he re-
newed his covenant with God and the
church, and remained consistent men,
! Der till death.
He was twice happily married; First
to Miss Sallie G.. Workman Of Warren
eleven children were born, six of whom
are still living, while five, together with
their mother preceded him to the better
land Dec. Doth, 1899, he married Mrs.
Sallie Stovall Pittard, who with the six
children mentioned above. and a host of
relatives and friends survive him to
mourn their irreparab BILE loss. But we do
not mourn as those who have no hope,
for we feel that our loss is his eternal
gain.
Brother Blackwell was true and good
man, filling well every relation in life
which he sustained but it was in his
home life that the finest qualities of his
nature shined the brightest. AS a kind
affectionate and indulgent husband and
father, he did what he could to make his
family happy and comfortable.
He loved his church, and was ready to
help advance it's interests. About a week
before he died, he said to this writer.
Il would like to get we'll so that could
go to Marrow's Chapel again and attend
services; but if God orders otherwise, |
am resigned to His will He loved his
Saviour above all else, and fully commit
ted himself and his all to His keeping.
Hence when the end came he was ready
to 90.
/ We buried him at Marrows Chapel,
and the large audience present, evidenced
! the love ard esteem in which he was
held. The Lord comfort and sustain the
widow and children, relatives and friends
in this sad bereavement, and help us all
to meet him in Heaven.
