After he is a month or so old, be-
gin to accustom him to the halter.
After he has had it on few times
take a long whip or stick and,
standing in front of him, gently
pull on the halter stall If he does
not respond, and he probably will
not, reach around and Tap him on

The subject of this sketch was
born Aug. "a, 1864, died April ~,
1912, aged AZ years, 8 months ana
5 days. l.: c..
wife, being Ellen Ralston. TO this
union was born thirteen children,
Mollie D. (dead), Carrie E., Omar

Berlin, (married Grace RalstoD,
Louie, Roy, Emma, Catherine,

JONES.
In 1904. he married Rhoda Bot
KIN and had four children Glenn,
(dead), Edward, Henry, (deaO,
and Virginia (dead).
Mr.. Hammer was a kind neigh
Dor, always ready and willing to
obli.e anyone; as father, he earn
estlv desired the welfare of his
children; as citizen, he was the
most enterprising man in the coun-
ty.
His capital was energy, persever-
ance, and industry, Dothlng too
small nor too large for him to UNI
dertake.
He gave employment to more
people than any other man in the
county, as is seen by the number
of houses, barnes, roads. etc., that
he has constructed or built. His
last effort Was building a fine -four
ing mill at Mcdowell, which he had
completed about the time he took
sick.
His death at the prime of life, is
great stroke on his family-a' d
we know of no one who would be
missed more in the community,
than hr.
He took sick last November, and
his disease seemed to battle his
phvsi"ans. He grew worse until
in |, bAuary, he was taken to tie
hospital in Charlottesville and was
odd. that he had tuberculosis
and was incurable. When
brought home, he took his bed and
never left it.
He had all the attention that
kind friends and devoted family
could give, and Wanted for nothing
His suffering at times was In
tense, but through it all, he never
murmured nor complained.
He was rational at all times ano
recognized friends a few moments
before he passed away.
He was member of the Meth
odist church, and died trusting in
the Lord.
A short while before he passed
away his brother John came in
weeping and he said, John, don't
be weeping, be shouting and leap,
ing for JOY"
His funeral was preached at Nc
Dowell by Rev. H. A. Wilson, as
sisted by Rev. Bransford, the text
Icing Acts 26:S. The church was
filled to overlooking and many
could not get in.
He was buried at McKendree
by the Modern Woodman- tho pal
bearers were Sidney IRVINE, Jas
Eryine, Frank Bryant, Emerson
Alexander, Russell Lockridge, anc
Lurty Armstrong.
The burial service was very inn
pressive.

tend our sympathy. A

KEEP YOUR FRIENDS

In an article in the May Woman's
Home Companion on the compen-
sations that come to those who
live away from great centers Of
population there appears the fol-
lowing sound advice:
ave are idly inclined to think
that real friendship, once begun,
ought to survive of its own vitali-
ty; but, alas! all beauty in this
world, from a roseslip to a human
soul, needs nurture. Nietzsche
speaks very scornfnlly of those who
fancy they dare show themselves
as they are TO their friends. For
your friends he advised, wear
avery adornment. 1t is we'll worth
willie 10 save the highest cheer, the
brightest thoughts, the gentlest at
tentions, for the friend. One should
always keep some impersonal topics
of conversation ready, so that your
thoughts together should not hud-
die down to the sordid atmosphere
of narrow space. Be not only the
sunshine to your friend, but be q
broad outlook and a wide view
Love must have space and air to
thrive in.
Human life offers us nothing
Else so beautiful AS real friendship;
not love, not prosperity, not fame,
are so fair, so precious. So foster
it! Let no distrust, no absence, no
difference of environment, dim its
luster. Let death itself be power
less to rob you of it's sweetness!
Never break it; never lose it: it is
the sweetest touch of mortal life. /"
