of land to the soldiers of the Florida, and
other Indian wars, andof the war Of 1912,
has passed by the decisive vote of yeas

come law. So soon as we can procure
a copy Of the Bill we will publish it at
large, for the information Of such as are
interested, of whom there are very many
in this town and neighborhood. For the
present we insert the following synopsis
