A blind man by the name of Gustin re-
Gently moved into town from Caledonia
county. He is poor and has undertaken
to support himself by making and selling
sort of beer. He states that the beer is
made of West India molasses, hops and
ginger-how much other stuff there is
in it we do not know. 1t is IA nasty,
bitter, filthy tasting stuff, but contains
enough alcoholic ''fuddle" so that many,
not of the better class of citizens, drink
it and get hilarious over the effects. Gus
tin carried barrel Of it to the Barton
fair, and when the authorities discovered
a class of rum drinking men, some of
them practically drunk, buying the stuff,
he was driven off. The beer is with
out doubt Intoxicating, and the maker is
violating the law in making and selling it..
If ne is poor, the town should care for
him, but it can not afford to support him
off the sale of beer. Let the authorities
look after the matter.
