Thre subject of this sketch was born on May 17.1821, and died at his home in Hickory, N. C., on Tuesday, November 6, 1906, aged eighty-five years, seven months and nineteen days. Dr. Baker, a North Carolinian by birth* was justly proud of the history of his State, a brother of J. S. TJaker, a distin guished cavalry leader in the armv of Northern Virginia, and himself a sunreon in the same army, doing valient and efficient service as much for the Confed erate States. A man of liberal education from the best schools, I both classical and professional of his earlier days, and was there fore well equipped for the prac tice of his chosen profession, which he pursued almost to the very day of his death with a love of his work which neither the varying vicissitudes of his life nor yet the inroads of old age could in the least abate; with a fidelity to the needs of suffer ing humanity which has never been excelled among the many whose calling it has been, or is. to know the heart, to count the pulse, or tell oi" life and death, their bane and antidote; with an energy of both mind and body, which never yielded to the de- 1 mands of his own personal com fort and care going out, as he of ten did, in cold and storm, to aleviate if possible, the suffer ings of his kind; nor stopped he to ask whether those who called him could pay or were worthy, but went as redily to the hovel and to the home of the poor, as to the home of those who lived at ease in comparative plenty and luxury ; and almost to the day of his death his mind retained its wanted vigor; calling upon a scholarly friend on the street to assure him of the correct trans lation of a Latin phrase which he had just read, and onlv a short time ago scoldi:ig Lis fami ly for not calling him from-be at night to answer a fi:*e alarm ir the town—saying: "If I do not goto help save my neighbor's property, how can I expect them to help save mine?"- a piac.ical application of the Gold an Rule. He knew no motive that in volved alone the care of self— hence he died poor.. He was what we call "a born doctor," developed by education and study, practice and experi ences, had-he lived his long and useful life under other conditions with money-getting methods of practice, it cannot be dhubted th t he would have attained nn to prominent professional posi tion, if not to wealth and all its pomfor.a, I doubt not that his professional associates will agree that his diagnosis of disease was usually made with wonderful cor- rectness. and many are the fam ilies and individuals now living ! in Hickory, especially the worn- 1 Vi ' .»• ' •t- k - ■ ' = .e„ . . en; who will also agree that atfj the sick t>ed he was wise, that 1 1 he was kind, tender and sympa- j' chetic, and never entered the | hpuse of the suffering without ] making his best effort to com fort. As such, he was not only , the doctor but also the nurse, in many cases remaining with his . patients in the latter capacity all night. Dr. Baker had his pecu-1 liarities, and who of us that J stands for anything in the battle ♦ of live have not—his were not re pulsive, but rather attracted oth ers to him to inquire what man ner of man he was, with the uni versal answer that in familiar parlance he was an "uncut dia mond," ever giving out light, however, in abundance to cheer the faint and suffering, or with tender hand softening the pillow of the dying. He made little profession of anything in words, but spent a long life in living and acting the part of one who loved his fellow men; tenacious of his opinions which were usually well found ed, true to his friends to a de gree that neither misfortune nor adversity could sunder, triumph ant over his frailties and sor j rows, his life was a success at tained to by few in thai in old age he stood before the world a noble old man. ! The town of Hickory of the vigor of her youth received him in 1871, was nourisned and nur tured by him for thirty-five years then a large concourse of her people looked into his open grave I and listened to the sad "earth to earth" part of the burial cere mony with this testimonial of justice to his memory—if ever much had been withheld from him while living-—that no man had ever lived within her limits who knew more of her inner, home life, or had tried to do more for her happiness and pros perity. His wife through fifty tv.seven years was ever his sweetheart, his children v. e e his treasures, to whom he woald make any possible sacrihce. He ! leaves hi 3 aged widow; a beauti- i ful instance of fortitude in the presence of her greatest grief, and a tender and affectionate daughter, Mrs. B. R. Anderson, Ivho gave much of her time to , him in his declining days and was ' qresent at his death, and Mrs. ] Katharine Carroll Baker, widow 1 of Dr. B. Eari Baker, his young • \ est son, who died some years 1 1 ago. Kitty, as she is familiarly I known in the family and town, J with sweetness of temper, ready « hands and an affectionate heart, J is a living benediction upon the bereaved family. { I turned from his grave with J many a remembrance of his J great love rnd kindness toward h me and mine, and recalled the « law of Ancient Israel: "Thou \ shalt rise up before the hoary head and honor the face of the I old man, and fear thy God"— J and also the vision of Abou Ben U Adhem, who prayed, "Write me , as one th ~t his fellowrr en," The angel wrote and vanislu d. The next night . ; It came a~ain with a gnat wak-i er.ing light And showed the names whom love of (4od had blessed And !•>: Ben Adhem'.s name led all the rest." J. G. HALL. Lenoir, November 26, 1906. Hart-Cloninger. •' For The Democrat. Dallas, Nov. 27. —At the Pres-' byterian Manse last night Miss Hattie Cloninger became the bride of Mr. James A. Hart. Af ter words of instruction from the minister they pledged them-' selves to live in Holy wedlock, and atter a prayer for God's ble sing and the benediction th( y left in a carriage for Gastonia to catch the Southern train for At- • tanta. May the union be a hap py one and God's blessing attend them. ONE PRESENT. VIRGINIA COLLEGE For YOUNG LADIES, Roanok*, Va. Ouens Sept. 25.1805.

To build up woman's nerv ous system and during the period of change of life we know of no better medicine than Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound. Here is an illus tration. Mrs. Mary L.

I took in all about six bottles and it did me a great deal of good. It stopped my dizzy spells, pains in my back and the headaches with which I had suffered for months before taking the Compound.
