In Memory of Di. Thomas W. Wier. "
Whon such men as Dr. Thomas With
row Wier pass out of this life, there is
cause for mourning and more than a
passing notice in the press.
The world is better for his life in it
and so much poorer for his demise. He
was one of "nature's noblemen," a
"gentleman of the old school," and we
regret that there are so few like him.
His long life was marked by kindness
and love for his fellow man, which was
abundantly displayed in the practice of
his profession ?that of physician, sec
ond only to that of the ministry in ben
efit to mankind, giving opportunity for
the practice of all the Christian virtues
in which he did t fall short.
A true friend ; .d neighbor, a tender
husband and father, an humble Chris
tian and consistent member of his
chur tin's man will be missed by all
who .. '-im.
He . nday morning, April 26th.
1908, and laid to rest next day by
the side ol loin cnerations of his fam
ily, in the old L can's Creek church
yard, where h^ i ad long been an elder.
The same pot. tion was held by his
father and grand-father, as he lived
ae.d died in the same community in
wh'ch his ancestors settled before the
Iti olutionary war, and have all held
the highest esteem of their acquain
tances.
His father, Dr. Thomas Wier, Sr.,
was an eminent physician, a wealthy
planter, and Christian gentleman. Tho'
by no means a politician, he was a man
of influence in public affairs and had
the honor of being a signer of the Or
dinance of Secession for Laurens
county.
His mother was Miss Nancy Hong,
daughter of Major RoUert Long, a sol
dier of the Revolution, who entered the
service of his country at the tender age
of 1(5 by advice of his mother. Of such
material were the wives made, then it
is not surprising that every son, four
in number, and the husband of the only
daughter of this house, should lay their
lives on the altar of their country in
llu' struggle for states rights.
Of the live grand boys torn from the
loving hearts at home, only one return
ed to comfort the old age of the par
ents this one, Dr. Wier.
? ( t, tho' there was great mourning
in that house, their hearts were great
and full of sympathy and compassion
<>n all others made widows and orphans
by tne same awful hand of war.
The sons were Major Robert Long,
who died at Flint Hill, of measles; Dr.
Thomas W., acting surgeon on medical
stall' of Kershaw's Brigade; Cant. Har
rison K. Wier, killed at Deep Bottom;
Lieut. Samuel Laurens, killed at the
Wilderness; the son-in-law, Capt.James
W. Davis, killed at Roonsboro.
Twenty-nine years ago Dr. Wier was
married to Miss Lou Buchanan, of
Greenwood county, an excellent lady,
who filled his declining years with great
happiness and brought to hit; home six
line sons, all of whom survive him.
l ive of them live with the mother at
the old Wier Homestead Renno.
These sons are Messrs. Thomas Pres
ton Wier, George Robert Wier, Samuel
Lawrence Wier, Withrow Long Wier,
Caldwcll Wardlaw Wier and Ralston
Stuart Wier.
All of these sons inherit the family
characteristics of kindness and strength
of character, and the best wish for
them is that they may live up/to the
andnrd of their sires and emulate
their virtues. The good name handed
down to them through many genera
tions "is rather to be chosen than great
riches, and loving favor rather than
silver and gold." D.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, ns they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the car.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tnchian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely (dosed Deafness is the result, and
unless tho inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
llamcd condition of the mucous surfaces.
