of family of twelve children. A very quite and unostentatious man, he was characterized from his boyhood by quail ties of sterling worth. It is one of the records of the Brewer family that s'the Brewer boys did not use liquor of any kind, tobacco i'll any form, nor profane language. #"E,
 He was always marked by clear and sound judgment and this was the found ation upon which his success in business. was built.
 He never aspired to any public office, the only position of the kind he ever held being that of assessor in Great Barring ton for period of several years. He re- tired from active business some tweDty years ago and devoted himself to the care of his property.
 He was devoted member of the Con- gregational church, always attending when health permitted even after he was unable to hear the service. s
 He commanded the respect of all who knew him because of his strict integrity and the strength and purity of his char acter; @ man of generous nature, he was never appealed to ill vain in behalf of the suffering and needy. -
 He was of cheerful and sunny dis position, a man of peace and above all a man of strong and steady faith in God. He lived as "seeing Him who is invisi ble." After long and useful life, he has gone to his reward, leaving behind him the influence and memory of an earnest, helpful Christian character. "God calls our loved ones, but we lose
 not wholly what He has given: They live on earth in thought and deed

 The funeral service was held on Satur- day, Feb. 18th, from the house of his niece, Mrs. Esther Williams, in Canaan, Conn.,, where with his wife, who sur wives him, he was spending the winter. The service was conducted at his request by his former pastor, Rev. Leon D. Bliss, of Pittsfeld. Burial was in the Mahaiwe cemetery in Great Harrington.

BEWARE OF PHysIC.
Only Agsravates Stomach Trouble and
i Never Cures.


The trouble with most people who
have stomach trouble Is that they do
not like to take time to get cured;
they overeat and then take physic,
which simply upsets the stomach and
never cures.
While relief follows one or two
does OF Mi-o-na stomach tablets,
chronic and long-standing cases need
at least two or three weeks treat

The claim that the dispensary is o

eye when the Aiken county board es-

tablishment OF ths North Augusta dis
