OBITUARY:
At the residence of his father, near Fairfield, February 3rd, Malcom J. Harding, oldest son of Hon. B. F. Harding, aged 17 years. The funeral will take place at the family resident to day. The death of Young Harding is the result of the gun shot wound received some weeks since by accident at the hands of a Frenchman who was intoxicated at the time. The blow must be a very sad event for the family and they will receive the sincere sympathy of many friends.
