Obituary.

Funeral services for the late DIR. Joseph
Clifford Harder were held at the residence
of his father, Norman A. Harder, Sunday
afternoon, and attended by one of the larg-
est gatherings ever seen In this village on q
similar occasion. Rev. Dunning, of Du-
rand. preached impressively from the text,
'For what is your life?", and the Whelan
quartette rendered some beautiful selections.
The casket, which lay in the west
parlOr OF the spacious residence, was COW
cred with mass of flowers and the floor
beneath 1t was banked with beautiful offer
ings from sympathizing friends. The burial
service of the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows was read at the grave, the Bancroft
lodge attending in body.
DIR. Harder was born Feb. IA, 1868. His
boyhOOd days were spent in Newburg, and
his home was here until recent years,
though much of his life was spent in the
various schools where he made thorough
preparation for the practice of his profess
sion. At fifteen years of age he began pre-
paratory work in the COrunna high
school. After spending some time at
the Agricultural college he took the full
medical course at the University of Michi-
gan, graduating with honors in the class of
'92. Shortly afterward he entered part
nership with DIR. Wells B. Fox, who had
remained with him until the death of DIR.
Fox, May 80. 1898. de afterward removed
to Durand, where he practiced successfully
in spite of falling health. About month
ago he came to the home of his parents for
rest, but his illness developed rapidly and
death came Wednesday evening Sept. %.
DIR. Harder was married in October, 1888,
to Miss Nettie M. Potter, daughter of Hon.
f. III. Potter He leaves one child, a son,
aged 10 years.
OF deeply affectionate nature, he in
spired affection in return and many warm
friends sincerely mourn the loss of one
whose gifts and attainments made him a
benefactor of those who came under his
care OF influence. His sympathy with those
who suffered endeared him to his patients,
and his gentle nature and retiring DISPOSE
ton made him loved most by those who
knew him best. He was an earnest chris
tian and member of the Methodist church
at Durand. The sympathy of this entire
community goes out to the bereaved wife
and sorrowing parents.
About sixty years ago DR.. Nicholas Har-
der came from his home in New York to the
wilderness of Shiawassee and gave the
name Newburg to the village in which he
settled, and where lived and died. He was
a famous practitioner among the early set
tiers and his ability as we'll as his title was
recalled IN the grandson whom Newburg
has so sadly seen laid to rest.

One of the Great Successes of the Day.

During a recent interview with the
manufacturers of "Battle AK" Plug To-
bacco they said they had been amply re-
paid for the enormous amount of money
which they had spent for newspaper adj
vertising by wonderful increase of bust
ness. They claim that they have had an
excellent opportunity to test the advan.
tage of newspaper advertising, because
ever since they started manufacturers Of
other brands OF plug tobaccos who Lave
for years made enormous profits by Civ
ing to the consumers a small piece of to-
bacco no better than "Battle AK" imme-
diately recognized the fact that on ac-
count of the superior quality and liberal
sized piece of Battle AK" their business
es were in great danger of being curtailed.
In their endeavor to prevent this they
waged bitter war against the manufactur-
ers of "Battle Az" and resorted to
methods of all kinds which seem aues-
tionable to business men who possess a
higher degree of honor and fair dealing.
Notwithstanding all this handicap, the
manufacturers of "Battle AK" through
the medium of their newspaper advertise
mentswere able { tell the consumers of
the high grade and fine quality of Battle
AK" and the great economy derived
from using it, until today "Battle AK" is
pronounced by all the greatest success on
the market, and more pounds are sold of
it than any other brand of plug tobacco.
