Venus went to Salisbury Tuesday to attend the funeral and burial of one 1 of the brother members of the Odd Fellows lodge. The members met at the hall in Salisbury and went out in their cars in a body to the residence, 410 E. Hender son street. East Spencer. Mr. John A. Algood, who died Sunday, was a line young man and was an employee of the Southern Railway, being a carman. After the services by Rev. A. O. Moore, the re mains were taken to Chestnut Hill, where interment was made. Pall bearers were composed of the Odd Fellows and machin ists. they being W. L. Tinnin J. W. White, R. H. Nail. J. V. Lemons, H. A. Martin, F. R. Barrier. The flower girls were Catherine Waller, Ermine Wise, Hope Ritchie, Laura Lyerly, Grace Lof lin and Bessie Sowers. We met with one of the best and clev erest and best looking young men in Rowan county Tuesday in his car and took a little trip with him. It was Mr. Edmond Higgins, of Granite Quarry. Ho has just returned from West Virginia, where he went to see his best girl and while there they had a grand wedding and he brought his beautiful wife home with him. He is the happiest young man now in the world. They will make their home at Granite Quarry, and will build a beautiful bungalow on Main street, at Granite Quarry. He is 23 years old and his wife is 19. Venus wishes them a long and happy life. That’s the way to do. hunt up a pretty girl and get married and settle down And live happily all the balance of your days. Someone told us that Grady Hinceman, of Granite Quarry, got married Sunday. We met several deaf mute people in Salisbury all together talking by signs. They were old friends ■of each other and were glad to meet again. Here are their names: Eldridge Scales, Benjamin Lan ders, Mr. and Mrs. John McLaughlin, of Salisbury. Miss Helen Williams, of Win ston-Salem, Miss Effie Rogers of Salis bury. One in the crowd knew Venus. He works at the Salisbury marble works and people tell us he is the finest work man in the state. In McClellan’s 5 and 10 Cent Store, where we bought our Easter, we saw ev er so many pretty girls waiting on the largest crowd of people we ever say there buying Easter. We goth the names of only three of them. Here they are: Quitis File, Minnie Coley, Mrs. Banks Hodge. Harold Isenhour and Holland Plyler were in a mighty fine car. They told ua they would make a trip across the conti nent this summer and then go to Ox ford University in England next year. Sixteen young men and two pretty girls were taking lunch Saturday at 2:30 ■o’clock at the Salisbury Case while we were taking lunch there. If that many eat there that late in the afternoon, how many do you suppose would be there at 12 o’clock. How this world is growing and eating is half of the people’s living. Mr. John A. Peeler, who has been con fined to her bed for some time, is able to be up again. Mrs. Spencer Peeler and little son, who have been confined to their beds, are improving nicely under the care of Dr. Brown. We notice in the papers that John M. Oglesby has been appointed a judge. He wrote up a sketch of the history of Venus one time, and is one of our good friends. VENUS. GEORGEVILLE.

This is the most important of the fruit sprays, for no matter how many times you spray, if you don’t apply the worm spray, the apples will come down in the June drop, or wormy apple fall. Use one pound arsenate of lead and two and one-half pounds ground burnt lime to fifty gallons of water and drive it into the blossom end of the small apples, Borne of the farmers are done plant ing cotton seed and a great many are still planting. However, it should not be overlooked that of the many tilings that govern the cotton yield per acre, the only one that the fanner has com plete control over is the kind of seed that he plants, and in the rush to plant it is better to wait a few days and get better seed than to plant inferior or mixed seed. There are still some good seed among the farmers of the county who ordered them direct from breeders last year, anti if you haven’t seed I will be glad to re fer you to farmers having the following varieties: Cook, Mexican and Cleveland, which have yielded the best in the past. There will be a terracting demonstra tion at the farm of L. M. Klontz, near Midland, on the afternoon of Wednes day, April 22nd, to which the farmers are asked to attend. Training Colts. t Tait Butler in The Progressive Farmer. The breaking and training of colts is of great importance, because the' value and (he usefulness of work animals de l>end to a large extent on how Well they are trained. In this work, memory and habit are the two main factors. The home is taught to do things by the as sociation of ideas. A definite word should always be used for the same com mand. The word, “whoa.” for instance, means, “stop,” because the animals as sociates that word with the command to stop. In training a home, the first thing is to get his attention. The second is to make him understand what is wanted. After this, his education is based on re ward and punishment. If'he ooeys a command, the reward, a pat on the neck, etc., should be given immediately. Likewise, if punishment is given, it must immedately follow the act of dis obedience. However, all hosses can't be. handled alike. The high-strung animal must be treated gently while sharper methods may be used with the sluggish one. In any case, the man who trains horses surcessfnlly ’must remember that few horses are vicious by nature, and that* patience, gentleness, and firmness on the part of the trainer are essential. Other valuable hints in training are as follows: — 1. Newer work a colt after he is tired 2. .Train in a, quiet place,.so the colt’s attention will not be distracted from the work- at hand. - 3. Whenever two persons are working with w horse, they should be on the side bo that his attention is undivided. 4. To harness, saddle, or mount a horse, approach 'his near or left side. 5. Never approach a Horse without first getting his attention by speaking to him. 6. Always let the 'home know you are master. If he cannot be made to do what is asked of him, make him do something else. An older horse will recognize the least sign of fear upon the part of his.trainer, and* will aeize the first opportunity to be master instead of pupfl. If training is begun early, the later lessons will not be difficult- Marly baseball players have their pet anperatltions. “Rabbit” Maranville, for example, alwaya refuses to put on a h« e *MU P *«f^.

Boston, Mass., April 20.—While Lex ington and old Concord are celebrating the anniversary of the commencement of the Revolution students of history will recall today as the 150th anniver sary of another memorable event that marked the first days pf the struggle for the Independence of the colonies. This is the famous ride of Gen. Israel Put nam, who arrived at Concord on this date in 1775, after having ridden his horse abont 100 miles in eighteen hours. The outbreak of the Revolution found i Putnam a veteran approaching his six tieth year, but he was as eager as any youth for toe patriotic cause. The news of Lexington and Concord found the old soldier plowing a field on his farm in Connecticut. Putnam left the plow standing in the furow, and, without wait ing to put on his uniform, set off on horseback and galloped Into Cambridge at sunrise. At Bunker Hill, he was the oldest gen eral, and after Gen. Warren had express ly declined, the edmmand on the field, Putnam was ranking officer, but the work of Prescott and of Stark was done independently, and Gen. Artemas Ward, of Massachusetts, exercised practically the command over all the forces. Putnam received from Connecticut the chief command of the forces pf that col ony, with the rank of brigadier-general. He was one of the four major-generals whom Congress appointed after Wash ington had been chosen for the chief command of the American army. Put nam's activity and efficiency were not abated during the earlier years of the war, but he was stricken with apoplexy in 1770 and forced to retire. In the career of General Putnam, “Old Put,” as he was familiarly known to his contemporaries, the imagination of young America has found more stimulating food than in the achievements of most of the leading generals of Revolutionary times. Putnam as youth and man was cele brated for his physical strength, his cour age and his daring ingenuity in time of sudden peri! or emergency. There are several stories which have been told and pictured times without number as illus trations of this last-named quality. ■ The first memorable exhibition of the daring of his character was when he pursued a she-wolf that had taken refuge in a long dark cave and shot the desper ate animal at close range. This \volf had despoiled the rich flocks of the young farmer, and the destruction of the savage beast was a work of necessity. The dauntless young hunter, after killing the old wolf, dragged her forth from the cave in triumph. Putnam was approaching forty years Let us oil your FOBJ) once ' » * • l .
