The Art of kissing.

Pension Arrears.

The measure known as the arrears pension bill
challenge unusual measure through
out the country This would not be if great merit did
not attach to it, 1t to be very strong in the Houses
for the that the question of paying of pen
sions is retrenched in stern justice 1t has not been
characterized unjust the floor of either House Of
Congress the other hand Senators and Representa-
tves of both political parties have frequently stated that
1T should be passed. and nearly all the Northern members
of both parties have recently voted to suspend the rules
that it might be considered and passed. and which would
have been accomplished but for the brgadie coonels
and other officers of the Confederate army and Congress
the floor OF the House
1t is charged-and we think wrongfully-that this
measure is not called for by the pensioners themselves,
but by the claim agent and the attorney lobbyists To
show the absurdy of this objection it is only necessary
to state the solitary fact that claimant attorney
be benefited by it. the bin provides that the pension
shall be paid direct from the Government pension agent to
the pensoner without any Intervention. Another mis-
statement is that the bill provides for back pay to all v
ing pensioners whereas but about eighth of the
Der interested and these pensioners who by
dent and incident and uaequenty through the fault
of the Government itself, unable to their
pensions within the limitation Of five years, including
widows who could not prove they widows within
that time well those whose papers pgeonholed
by attorneys and neglected, and Others whose pa
pers were destroyed by fire lost in transmission

of the United States who has not filed medical other
proof in the Pension Office to show that his disease if
pensoned for SUCH only originated in the service but
has continued from the time of discharge until the date of

The statement has been recklessly made by portion
Of the press that the bill proposes make donations
pensioners of from 500 to 81, 500 eac-whereas
nothing of the kind is proposed the pensioners have
only asked that Congress shall act upon the question of
their rights presented by them The further statement
has been made by the Chicago Tribune and other North
journals that would take $780, 0O0 600 to
the requirements of this measure, while the truth is that
the report of the Pension Office the chairman Of the
House committee year ago shows that will require
only about $40 coo GEO. No deny that this sum

Knights of Honor.

The music of the Marietta Silver Cornet
Band recalled to mind on last Monday night
that Rev. DR.. Thomas, of Acworth, by in
vitation was to deliver an address at the
Court House, under the auspices of the
Knights of Honor of this place. A large
audience of ladies and gentlemen were pres
ent. Prayer was offered by Rev. H. J.
Adams, and Dictator, II. M. Hammett, in
troduced DR.. Thomas to the audience, who
in a "knightly' manner set forth the OBJ
jects, principles and plans of the Knights Of
Honor. The order was organized in 1873
in Louisville, Ky, and in five years has &C
quired a membership of nearly 40, 000. To
become member, one requisite is essential,
HE must be man of Knightly Honor. "
The initiation fee varies according to age,
but 81 admits an applicant between 81 and
45, but no one admitted over So. Upon the
death of a member, 81, 600 goes to his family.
The address was able and eloquent evinc
ing culture and refinement, I'd will result
in benefit to the order. At the conclusion
of DR.. Thomas address, the members re-
paired to their Hall, accompanied by quite
d number of ladies and friends, where re-
feshments were served in abundance Vo-
cal and instrumental music also greeted lis
tening ears, and thus an hour was spent
very pleasantly.

On last Friday night the Acworth de-
batting society gave public debate in Odd
Fellows Hail. Quite large number were
out to hear them. The young men acquit-
ted themselves with honor. The subject
was the comparison of England's and our
own government Some of the young men
desired so much to gain the subject that they
actually worked themselves up to the point
to believe that England's government was
better than ours. The Rev. Mr.. Reeves
made quite string speech to the good tenn
plars in their meeting Monday night there
was large attendance of the order.
The meeting at the Methodist church
last Tuesday night was addressed by Dr.

a Horse Thief.

A postal card to eur Marshal, from DR.
Os1in of West Point, Ca, gave a description
of an iron grey mare, stolen from his stable,
on last Saturday night On Tuesday, a
white man, giving his name as Charley
Jones, rode into town on such mare and
put up at Chuck Anderson s stables. Chuck
bantered him for trade and Jones from
one hundred and fifty dollars fell to eighty
five. Deputy Marshal Sanges, at this juno
ture, stepped up and told him he was his
prisoner. Jones resisted arrest and tried to
use very fine pistol he had concealed on
his person. A scuffle ensued and Jones was
finally disarmed, Willie Banks assisting
Sanges Jones said he was no horse thief
and demurred to such horse pitality in put
ting stranger in the lock up as soon as he
rides into town. A dispatch to Dr. Oslin,
at West Point brought an answer to ''Hold
him" The Marshal of West Point arrived
Wednesday evening and recognized Jones
as a Tennessee drover who had recently
sold to DR.. Oslin the iron grey mare and
then at night broke open the stable and
stole her back and departed. Jones gave
no satisfactory account how he came in
possession of the animal. On Wednesday
night he was carried to West Point.
