was born Jan. 8, 1862, at Ottumwa, his
parents were S. H. and Samantha
Harlan. At the age of fifteen he began
learning the drug business in his home
town. After being an apprenticed
pharmacist for three years, he register
ed at eighteen, as pharmacist No. 1896.
Later when he became Of age he re-
ceived his certificate. He became man
ager, on leaving Ottumwa, of a drug
store at Macedonia. In 1888. he mar
roed Miss May Mason of Carson, la.
After various moves he became estab-
llshed in 1885 at HaWarden in the drug
store, which was the foundation Of the
successful business which stands as a
monument to his business acumen and
ability. Although partially destroyed
by fire the business was built up in a
short time until larger andmore pre-
tentlous quarters were required and he
eventually bought out his partner J. NJ
Kelly.
Mr.. Harlan became conscious of fail
ing health last spring, but his cheerful
and accompanying nature prevented
all but those who were his closest
friends from knowing his real condi-
ton. Some months he found it nee
essary to give up his active business.
Although every effort was made to
cure him, when the discovery was
Ia 90 0F h.

much improved after the summer
spent at Lake Okoboji, but failed on
returning home. In accordance with
the advice Of a specialist in Chicago
he lived very quietly, retiring from
business. High blood pressure caused
the rupture of blood vessel Saturday
evening and paralysis resulted on the
left side Of the body. Inconsistencies
followed foHn that time until his
death, which occurred Monday after
noon, Dec. s, 1918.

day afternoon at the Presbyterian
church, Rev. A. w. Miles, pastor Of
the Congregational church, officiating.

lodge acted as pail bearers and the

being a member Of both orders.

also by sister, Mrs. Melissa Shep'
herd, Of Chicago, and grandson,
Francis Whitcomb Wilson.

He saw the country develop from a
rude wilderness of prairie and dense
wood to the cultivated farm land Of
the present; saw Ottumwa grow from
hamlet to the city; knew intimately
every land owner from the pioneers
who staked out their claims by candle
light at midnight Of May 1, 1S43, to
the prominent citizens Of the present
day, and through all the years was
closely identified with every upright
movement, rejoiced with every hap
piness, and shared every grief.
Never too busy to help neighbor,
even to his own disadvantage, never
too tired to go to those in trouble,
always cheerful and happy, never en-
tirely we'll, yet hiding his own ills by
sunnyness of disposition that en-
deared him to everyone, his passing
is a loss to the whole community.
The funeral was held at his home
December ~, 1913. The services at
the home were in charge Of Rev. G.

REFLECTIONS.

With Thanksgiving approach
ing. it is pertinent to inquire how
many Southwest Louisiana farm
srs are prepared with fat three
dollar turkey cocks to meet tho
demands of local epicures and
those of Now Orleans, Houston
and Beaumont? Suppose every
farmer had even one hundred fat
turkeys for sale now; he wouldn't
have to give his cotton away for
six cents a pound.
Suppose, in addition. every
farmer had a half dozen littsrs of
six-months old pigs, eight to the
litter aud zach pig weighing $50
pounds. With corn and cow-peas
aud sweet potatoes and pumkins
ripe in the fields, another fifty
pounds could DO added within
thirty days and there would be a
years supply of breakfast and side
bacon, hams, sausage, lard and
head cheese, besides a considera-
BILE surplus to bring in Christmas
cash. Are you in on this =? II
not, do you consider yourself q
real farmer?
Still We haven't mentioned beef
and dairy cattle, which no real
farm can DO without, a small bunch
Of sheep, and = bloodsd colt or
two. DO you consider that you
have any right to complain about
hard times, if you have neglected
these elementary accessories OF
any institution that can lay rsa.
sonable claim to the dignity of q
farm?
