      Harlan M. Slawson passed away at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H.E. Slawson, on Sunday morning at 1 o'clock, age 20 years, 5 months and 11 days.
      By the death of Harlan Slawson, the dread white plague claims yet another victim, this time a young man just who had his life been spared would have soon slipped across the boundary line from youth to manhood. This year had his health not failed, he would have been a member of the senior class of the Bedford High School, and at commencement time would have stood proudly with his classmates, diploma in hand, ready to face life's battles, armed with a good education and an active mind. But it was not so to be. The monster consumption which every year demands victims by the thousands had marked him for it's own, and against its slow insidious advance human efforts were powerless. Nearly a year ago, Harlan's health became so much impaired that he was compelled to quit school, and since that slowly but surely he has been failing until with the dawning of the week, his spirit slipped away.
      Harlan was born in Taylor county and he lived here all his life. All his school days were spent in Bedford schools and at the funeral Monday afternoon his class mates acted as pallbearers, and carried his mortal remains to the grave. The funeral was held at the home of his parents, conducted by Rev. Thompson. Interment was made at Bedford Cemetery.
