Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hammond
received bad news from Hamilton last week.
Their eldest son, Ernest,
having been kicked about the head by a horse and becoming
unconscious, which state lasted for some days.
On Monday afternoon
however, he recognized his mother and wife.
Mr. and Mrs. Hammond have,
during the past few months, been singled out for sorrow -- one son
having been reported missing, and another died of wounds.
A third son has been in
hospital in England, and still another, Stanley, was returned
invalided last summer.
