Milton T. Hart of Hoboken, N. J.
and Mildred Thompson of Hoboken
were married Monday evening, July
18th at the parsonage of the Metho-
dist church, Hoboken. The Rev.
Chas. Waldron, pastor, performed
the ceremony. The only persons
present were two brothers of Mr..
Hart from New York city. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hart will be at home at 837
Garden St., Hoboken, after July goth
Edward Everett Brewster, born
March "a, 1856 at West Cornwall,
Conn. died July 1st, 1919 at Science
tady, N. Y. at the home of his niece,
Mrs. w. B. Potter.
January 10, 1888 he was married
to Elizabeth Taylor Edwards who
survives him with their four chill
dren: William Edwards Brewster,
Chicago, ILL.,, Edwards Pierpont
Brewster, Mayville, Wis, Margaret
Harmon Brewster, Brooklyn, N: Y,
Frances Brewster, Schenectady, N.
Y.
Mr.. Brewster had been in failing
health for the past year, but attend
ed to business until last January.
Since then he was confined to his bed
a greater, share of the time until his
demise. The cause of his death was
heart failure resulting from mitral
reorganization. The end came sud-
denly and he suffered little pain. His
body was taken to West Cornwall,
Conn. and services were held at
North Cornwall cemetery on July
3rd, the Rev. E. C. Starr officiating.
AS a boy Mr.. Brewster prepared
for college at Westfeld, Mass. High
School, and entered Sheffield Scien-
tific School of Yale College in 1875,
graduated in 1879 with the degree
of PhS. in the course of chemistry.
Jan. s, 1881 he accepted position
with the Menominee Mining Co. of
Norway, Mich. In 1883 he was trans
ferred to their Chaplin Mine at Iron
Mountain, Mich. In 1891 he re-
signed to accept a position with the
Pewabic Co. of Iron Mountain. April
1st, 1919 he removed to Iron River,
Mich. to take the position of Super
vising Chemist for the Osana Grad
ing Association, which position he
held until his death.
The postmaster at West Cornwall
has, the past week had it forcibly
called to mind, the carelessness of
people in not having their names on
packages. Two packages came into
the office with no address, a key was
found, a bag was lost, scarf was
lost, and if found there is no clue to
the rightful owner. Two letters were
dropped in the mail box with six
cents for stamps when only four
were needed but there was no re-
turn address so somebody will not
/ get their change. Inquiry at the
postofice may put finder and loser
in touch with each other. And lots
of missent mail might be avoided if
people would only write plainly,
with ink, and put on the name of
the sender in the upper left-hand
corner, as we'll as the full address
from the middle to the lower right
hand corner.
Clarence and Delos Hart were at
home for short time last week.
Cornwall Grange will visit Wichita
Grange at Warren, on Wednesday
night, July 23rd.

SEEK TO PREVENT
 ENFORCEMENT OF
 WARTIME PRO. LAW

New York, April 11.-An injunc' ton restraining the federal court from enforcing the wartime prohibit ton act is asked in a bill in equity filed in the federal court today by the Clausen- Flanagan Brewery cor poration. The suit, directed against Richard J. McElligott, acting deputy collector of internal revenue, and United States District Attorney Fran cis c. Caffey, is the second of the kind to be brought here.
 The complaint sets forth that the regulations of the collector of in- ternal revenue attempting to limit the sale and manufacture of beer to beverages containing not more than one-half of one per cent alcohol by volume. are unconstitutional and not provided for. 1N the congressional wartime prohibition act The peti- tion insists that beers and other mall liquors which contain not more than two and three-fourths per cent alec hol hy colume are not intoxicating and that their manufacture and sale is permissible under existing con- gressiOnal legislation.

VALUATIONS OF
 LAND IN COUNTY
 MUST BE RAISED
Monroe Smith Declares City Property Owners Are
 Dodging Law.

Monroe Smith, member of the state tax commission, was in the city yes terday conferring with local tax Of ficials concerning the new law where by property taxes are to be assessed at 50 percent valuations. Local off cials were explained the workings of the new law and shown it's application locally but would not venture state ment as to just what the news system would mean to Jefferson County and the city. It is believed, however, that the proceeds of the local officer will be enhanced materially.
 Mir. Smith, pointing out that valua- tions of acreage lands for purposes of taxation in Jefferson county aver i age only 32 7-10 percent, insisted that these valuations must be brought up to above 45 percent this year. He gave warning that unless acreage lands in the county are so assessed, the state tax commission, sitting as q board of equalization in November will raise assessments to 45 per cent of actual values.
 City Owners DOdging. "It is quite evident" said MT. Smith to The Ghaphic after the meet ing, "that town lots are far below country property in valuation for taxation. We are unable to remedy this for the time being. because there is no way of classifying lots. The best way to bring about improvement is for property owners to take more interest in these matters assess their own property properly, and see that others do the same.
 Another thing" continued MT. Smith, merchandise in the county of Jefferson was listed for assessment last year at value of only $1.O80,- 001 That isn't ten per cent of the valuation. They'd better assess it properly, or we will in November"
 MT. Smith seemed greatly encour- aged by the attendance and interest at the meeting yesterday forenoon. "1 believe all at the meeting will help in placing assessments where they ought to be-" he said.
 The state tax commissioner left early in the forenoon for Star City, where a meeting similar to the one in Pine Bluff was held. Sheriff J. G. McC]ain motored from Star City to meet MT. Smith. and brought him back to Pine Bluff yesterday evening in time to board the board for Little Rock.
