Feb. "a was an interesting day
| for J. M. Brewer, that being the nth
anniversary Of his birth. His many
friends perpetuated some very pleas
ant surprises upon the unsuspecting
victim. Early in the day the birth
day post card shower began, and 1t
continued until 1856, besides num-
erous letters had poured in. The
venerable gentleman was over
whelmed by the expressions Of good
will which came from old friends
from ten states from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, also South Africa. Dur
ing the day Mr.. Brewer received the
hearty congratulation Of his Abb
lene friends and in the evening the
family represented by four genera
tions came unannounced to the home
and a delightful evening was spent.
All united in wishing him many
happy returns Of the day. Mr..
Brewer is the father Of J. e. and G,
s. Brewer and Mrs. A. T. Witwer Of
Abilene and William and Ernest
Brewer living In Washington, Mrs.
Maude Morrison, Coffeyville, Kan,
and Mrs. Jennie simkins, Reading,
Kan.
THE following poem was composed
| by a friend now living in Indiana, but
who used to be highly esteemed
neighbor in Usage county, Kan;
This month is noted for births of
men of fame,
And recently we learned yours was
the same,
So 1t gives as much pleasure to
send you greeting
Tho many years have passed since
our last meeting.
But our memories like to linger, over
days Of yore
When on the bare prairie we wan
dered DER
To your home, which nestled among
growing trees
To spend an evening, where we did
MT notice the breeze.
With music, and talk Of various
things,
Time passed so pleasantly appeared
to have wings,
1t seemed so horny and nice to us
that even today
Those visits furnish mind pictures,
which we enjoy on the way.
Your children out into the big world
1 went
i rerbana vou felt they had only been
