A small supply of the new stamps eommemorr ting the Pilgrim Ter- | centenary '•elebraticn has been received ?*■ the local postoffice. The stamps are of the 1 cent, 2 cent and 5 cent denominations The 1 cent comes in green and bears a picture of the Mayflower riding in a choppy sea with full sails. The 2 cent is red and the picture on it is entitled, “Landing of the Pilgrims.” If it had read “Pilgrims having a skirmish with the Indiana” it would have done just as well as neither head nor tail can be made of the picture. The 5 cent stamp is blue and shows the “Signing of the Compact ” Only a limited number of the stamps are being printed by the government and they will soon be sold out. Within a short time it is probable that there will be a premium upon them, as is usual with such issues

FOR 11 LIFERS
INDIANA STATE CAPITOL, Dec. 31 —Recommedations for the final discharge of fouteen persons now on
Once more the uncertainty of this material life has been demonstrated. God has called from our midst one of his flock, Frederick Clinto Branneman son of Samuel and Sarah Branneman Fred wag born in Ohio May 7, 1873 and there lived during his early childhood. He came with his parents to this country while yet a boy and has always been a citizen of this community. Fred early laid the- foundation for a true loyal Christian life and character and identified himself with the Christian Church at East Unity when seventeen years of age About three years ago he with his wife transferred their membership to the Baptist church at Amity. Less than a year ago he was ordained a Deacon in the Church. He has been a loyal member, a regular attendant at the services of his Church, and a staunch supporter of all philanthropic movements Fred will be missed at Amity and Ws help and kindly counsel will be long remembered. Fred’s life was an open book and all who knew him read thereon a good report and a record of good deeds Fred bad a smile for ai and his smiling face -vill be ong remembered as a means of helping many of us to look at life more cheer-
fully.
Fred was a diligent student of God’s word and earnestly endeavored to learn his will and do his commands. It can be Duly said of him that he lived and walked close to God in a practical way He felt prepared to i meet his Saviour and so expressed
| himself in his last illness.
I Fred was united in marriage to | Irene Frazier, Nov. 29 1893. Together they have toiled and labored in j love and harmony, enjoying their possessions as they lived Their home has bee n a comfort and a joy to them As a husban,] he was loving, kind, and sympathetic. He was zealous for his home’s interest and spared no pains for his wife’s wel-
fare.
In the community Fred was considered a good business man, was interested in the administration of his county and state, and was a factor in the conduct of local affairs He was an untiring worker i n the late war’s relief work > giving freely both his time and money. He had a wide acquaifttance and stood high in the esteem of his fellowmen Everyone far and wide had a good word for Fred, and he always had a word for praise for others. Fred’s illness was of short duration —just three days after being stricken of pneumonia, he passed away Dec 23, 1920 near noon, age 47 years 7 months and 21 days > Besides innumerable friends, neighbors, and relatives, Fred leaves to mourn his death, a wife, a mother, four brothers, namely Cliff, Will, West and Ralph, three sisters, namely Allie McKamey, Clara Shoemaker | and Ida Leonard. A home is broken, a fireside made desolate, a chair in the family circle is vacant. But a life well-spent, a life filled with deeds of love, has met its reward. And in this reward lies comfort for the sorrowing ones, a recompense for their aching hearts. Pale and grim the silent boatmen Swiftly rode with muffled oar, O’er the dark and mistic water s Till he stood within our door With a soft and noiseless tread, Stealthily he crossed our threshold Touched our darling who now is sleep-
ing;
Now he’s numbered with the dead. Oh! The bitter signs of anguish O’er the spoils that death has won And you listen for a footstep And a voice forever gone Fondly you will ever cherish Every loving way and look, Whether grieved or whether happy All are written in memory’s book. Oh, fond wife, cease repining He has only gon e before; Soo n we shall with him slumber Soon shall sleep to wake no more, Till the Lord of hosts decending With a shout the dead to wake, Will together bring his jewels When that glorious morn shall break No more sighing o’er our loved ones, No more weeping o’er their bier. No more sickness, death, or partings, God shall wipe away each tear; Say not good night, but let us in the brighter clime Bid Freddie Good Morning.
