His family meantime had moved to
Marion in an adjoining county
where he obtained his first news-
paper job. nd where his life inter-

Harding's ambition was to become
a publisher, and it was realized at the
age of 19 when he bid on the Marion
Star at 'a sheriffs sale. The paper
was purchased under a heavy mort-
gage and his friends have often
said that the struggles) and hard-

paper a success had much to do in
fashioning his character and develop-

which were, his chief characteristics.
Whatever his other attainments.
Mr Hardings greatest pride was in
his professional accomplishments and.
