Obituary.

Another life is ended, a life of many years, full of toil, happiness, pain and tears. Such w T as that of Benjamin Harris, who lived 8 years more than the allotted 3 score years and ten. ' ' . - ’ The son of Benjamin and Elizabeth Harris, both of w’hom were born and raised in Virginia and were Quakers. The six children were - William F., Henry 0., John T., Virginia W., and Regina, Benjamin being the youngest. The family moved from Virginia to county, Indiana, where this Subject w’as born. His father died a few weeks before the birth of his son Benjamin, in 1838. He received a common school education, supplemented by six months’ school in Boonville. In 1851, when he was 13 years old, the widowed mother with her six children, came to Jasper county and just east of Mt. Ayr on a farm now owned b’y Henry O. Harris. They w’ere among the early settlers. Here he worked with his brothers for several years. He was married to Katherine Wood in the early - 60’s, but this home was broken updn about a year by the death of his wife and infant daughter. This was at the time pf the civil war. Benjamin enlisted and was drafted into service w’as not accepted, hot being strong enough physically. Hb owned and operated a mill at Brook after this. He w r as also surveyor for .two years in Newton county.

In 1871 he was* 1 married to Emily Crisler. To this union was bom one daughter, Flora. ■ They began housekeeping on the farm five ijniles south of Mt. Ayr on the Iroquois river, where they lived uirtil 1888, when they moved to Rensselaer - > About 1873 he uniteel with the Church of God, remaining very strong in the faith of that denomination. He was a Bible student, and was ever ready to give a Bible /‘reason of the hope” which he had in God’s promises. Although never a .robust man, "Uncle Ben” ha<pa wonderful constitution and vitality. He was very gen■erousand never pretentious in any of his arts of life. The last year was marked by a very gradual decline.

THE EVENINQ REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

INDIANA IS PROUD STATE TODAY

Is One Hundred Years Old December 11, .Since She Was Ad- • mitted to the Union. The state of Indiana ie very prouJ today, for this is the day on which she was admitted to the union*, just one hundred years ago. .It was on the 11th day of December, 1816, that it was admitted to the union and the legislature, under Governor Jennings, in the state hoyse Corydon, began to provide for the needs of the commonwealth as they presented themselves. , Just as there were thirteen original states in the union, so Indiana began with thirteen counties. The most northerly was Wayne, all * the others being south and southwest, ftnox ■ being the northern organized boundary on the west. This Accounted for the selection of Corydon as the capitol. More than threefourths of the states’ territory was held by Indiana at that time and the white citizens were not planning for the settlement of that region. When a glance backward is taken over the century closed and the Events that have taken place in it, a great and wonderful panorama is disclosed. ,The world itself has traveled far in that time mid Indiana has kept pace. It has enjoyed material prosperity, but its richness has been in men and woriien. It had the fortune of securing an early permanent class of settlers, mainly of American stock, rather than the advanturous, ; nomadic class that made its way into the then practically unknown westjmd it did much good service there. They came to make homes ip the new state, and they stayed. t All along dowrt the histbry of the state-tuns a record otfnen in each and every department of activity equal to the special demands upon them. Indiana, a hundred years old, has more than fulfilled the‘ promise of youth. It is a state of which to be proud. It enters on the new century under brave and beautiful auspices, and no better wish can be made that the people who celebrate its second centennial anniversary may have as great reason to rejoice over its conditions and prospects as we have today.

Glando Did It Interesting Statement Given By Paulding Man Mr. C. A. Hughes, of Paulding, Ohio, said: "I had suffered so much from backache .and kidney trouble that I was hardly able to drag around. After taking one treatment of Glando Tonic I was so improved that I look another treatment to make it a cure. I ai?i now’ a well man and can heartily recommend Glando Tonic to all suffering from • backache or kidney trouble.” \ . ’ A sluggish glandular system is responsible for most serious illnesses. Such a condition should not be neglectca._Thc wonderful cures effected by Glando, the Great Gland Tonic, is due to the fact that it 'acts directly upon the galndular system. The three treatments which each package contains beitag necessary to effect a cure. Treatment No. One stars glandular activity.-Treatment No. Two throws off the accumulated poisons and prepares the system for a tonic. Treatment No. Three is a splendid tonic that builds up the entire system. For sale by B. F. Fendig.
