This is re- quired because it is alleged there are some person pensions who are not lo Blank applications can Ire obtained from the clerks of the Court and should be filled up before July. If the applicant is unable lo appear before the board on Monday in July he or she send a from a physician stating that the cannot personally appear, as no doubt may be case with many. no soldier could re- a pension in fourth class unless his disability by a wound received while in Confederate service. The new law changes this and give a pension of the fourth a to soldiers who are now disabled from any cause to manual labor. In the pensioners are widows of ate soldiers who were married be- fore April and have not married again. According to the old law the only widows entitled lo a pension were widows of soldiers who had died the war or after war, from wound or disease contracted in the service. The new law gives a pension lo the widow of a soldier who has died at any time or from any cause. But no soldier or widow can get a pension who owns 8.100 of property. The old law has not been changed in respect. The new law will place on the pension roll needy de- veterans and widows, who were excluded by old law. the new examination, required by new law, may lake from pension roll the trainee of some persons who arc entitled to a pension. Every county board ought lo be very careful closely every application, re- unworthy pensioner will the small pittance that i to and deserving. According to last report of the State auditor there were last year Confederate pensioners in Stale, of whom were widows. The amount paid these pensioners last jeer were The by the new law a year.

Our obligations to His speech was a masterly one, each division of his subject being handled in a manner that instructed delighted his hearers. Many de- it the best speech of its character they had ever heard. At the conclusion of rises dinner was served in the grove near the church to the Odd Fellows and their families and invited friends. four gathered around the table and they had a sumptuous feast of barbecue, chicken, ham, pickles, bread, biscuit and cake. There abundance of all it was elegantly prepared and well served. Two or three pigs and much other food left from was sent to widows sick people in the Bethel Odd Fellows may justly feel proud of l he success of their celebration.

By the way, Bethel being a dry town, we not help noticing the difference there now what it used to be.
