Tuesday morning about six o'clock Mr. W. J. Harling, better known among his friends as Jack Harling, passed peacefully away after a brief illness. Mr. Harling had been in fail ing health for more than a year but for the past several months his gen eral health had been better than usu al. The announcement of his death was a great shock to his Edgefield friends, for none of them knew of his serious illness. When he and Mrs. Harling were in Edgefield a short time ago he appeared to be stronger than usual. Mr. Harling faced the end bravely being conscious almost to the last breath. He conversed freely of ap proaching death, stating that all was well with him. In the death of this exemplary citizen, not only Colliers, but Edgefield county has sustained an irreparable loss. As a farmer and business man he was a pronounced success, as a neighbor he was always thoughtful and kind, as a friend he was loyal and true, and as husband and father he was affectionate, kind and indulgent. Nowhere will he be missed more than among the remain ing members of the home-circle, and to these bereaved ones the writer extends sincerest sympathy. Besides his devoted wife, Mr. Harling leaves three sons, Roy. Edward, and Jack Harling, and two daughters, Maude and Susie May Harling. The funeral was conducted by Rev. I. W. Kesterson Wednesday morning at Red Hill of which church he'was a member. A very large number num ber of friends gathered to pay a last tribute. Surgical Dressings Class Com pletes Course.
