Mr. Harrison wa* a man oj gmid for

He wa* naturally endowed with extra

ami tlie like, and was really an expert
on almost all Hie lines of bndllv activ
ity. Although Ills opportunities for
education, awav hark in tlie *, Forties”
and ••Fifties.” were very limited, he
on account of hi* high mental capacity
and hi* fominess for intelle-tual at
tainments acquired much useful knowl
edge. He read much more than the
average fanner does, w a* a man of
public spirit and patriotism., and kept
well informed concerning the progress
of ids native country, tlie State, and
the Nation. He believed in the elec

good and honorable and just men of

in Democratic 1’tjnciplea and ardently
favored Prohibition He was proud
of hi* country and rejoiced to see the
political promotion of worthy and hon
est men of real ability.

broke out. Mr. Harrifon soon volun
teered and served a* a faithful soldier

and through thrift. Industry, economy,
good management and more than or-

a “good living.” a nice real estate, and
left to hi* familv a nice little fortune.
In earlv life Bro. Harrison, on pro
