One of that species of spectators has

of 1912, to give him half Of the land he gets
for them, they to furnish him the evidence
of service. Some have acceeded to his de-

they are not doubtful, since the passage of
the late amendment to the bounty land law,
and can be obtained as we'll for the ordinary
fee, as for extravagant fees.
Again | say, old Soldiers beware!
JOHN HARMON.
The above is worthy the attention of such
persons as may be entitled to bounty land.
Mr.. HARMON is experienced in securing pen
sions and will do it for an ordinary fee far
better than the speculators who demand half
the profits for their services.
