EsTEEMs THE PAPER HIGHLY.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Enclosed find 81 to pay for THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE for one year. Your paper l esteem
very highly for the manly course it is pursuing
IN behalf Of the soldiers, their widows and
orphans. Justice demands that every one en-
titled TO pension should receive their dues at
the earliest moment possible for many of them
gre in want and destitute of the necessaries OF
life. Our Congressman and Senators ought to
see that all obstruction to payment OF our pen
sioners be removed before Congress adjourns.
Although not a soldier myself, had three SONS
in the army, aud ten years service they rem
dered TO this Government. Two Of them fell
victims to disease, wounds, and imprisonment,
and long since have departed TO the other shore
] feel that all faithful and deserving soldiers
who are honestly entitled to pensions, should
receive their pay as well as the bondhOlder, and
perhaps with justice l might say they should
be maid first. for the simple reason that they
saved this Government from destruction; if
they had not the bondholder would not have a
Government to back up his claims.
Respectfully yours, STEPHEN FULLER.

ITS NECESSITY RECOGNIZED.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
l have been reading a sample copy of THE
TRIBUNE. and consider it the paper for every
old soldier. There seems to be a necessity for
such paper. The defenders of the country
demand proper recognition in Congress- and
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is the soldiers friend.
I served as private soldier in company c.,
Fourteenth Iowa infantry, and was in all the
engagements with the company. Our regiment
was taken prisoners at Shiloh, April 6, 1862,
and were at Memphis, Tenn; Mobile and Ca
haba, Ala. and Macon, Ga, where, after suffer
Ing for food and clothing, and having no
blankets, we were paroled. / am not PEN
sioner, but should Congress pass an act giving
nx-prisoners of war pension many men would
thankfully accept it and regard it as their due.

JUST WHAT IT SHOULD BE.
GEO. MUTTON.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Allow me, as claimant for invalid pension,
to express to you my entire satisfaction for the
interest manifested by THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE IN soldiers rights. The delay in the
determination of the same must be attributed
so!elyto the press of business upon the Pension
Office. Your valuable journal is all it should
be, and I much admire Its bold, yet not ex-
IRENE, advocacy of the relative rights and
duties OF the soldier and the Government.

When we see so many who entered the army

a VETERAN, THE SON OLA VETERAN.

The town of Acton can boast of being the
birth place and homo Of man who was one of
Captain Tuttle's soldiers when the old Sixth
Massachusetts, marched through Baltimore in
1861, and whose father was one of Captain Isaac
Daviss minutc-men at the fight at Concord
bridge 1t is almost a certainty that this is
the ONLY case of the kind i'll the annals of pat
riotism in America. The veterans name is
Luke Smith, Acton Center, now about seventy
years of age, who passed through Baltimore,
and served over q year at the beginning of the
rebellion, when he was between fifty and fifty
five years old.
Mr.. Smiths father Solomon Smith, followed
Captain Davis in 1775, and was near the latter
when he was killed. He followed the British
troops through all that day until they took
refuge in Boston. Mr.. Smith was at Bunker
Hill and saw Warren fall; he served faithfully
through the revolution, serving at Trenton,
Valley Forge, and Yorktown. He was about
sixty years old when his son, Luke was born
and died in 1887, upward OF eighty years of
age
With such blood in his veins, when the call
for the minute-mcn Of 1861 came, Mr.. Smith
joined Captain Tuttle's company, the first or
gapiZcd volunteer farce to report for duty
against the rebels, and, Of course growing old
as he was, did good service for his country until
he was discharged. He afterwards re-enlisted
under the last call for troops for the one hun
dred days service, and served out the time
Mr.. Smith is a member of Isaac Davis Post,
G. A. X.
This is record of father and son of which
not the family only, but the town and State
may well be proud, covering over one hundred
years. 1t is not possible that there can be
another such case in the country. Honor to
Luke Smith.-Acton lfass.) Patriot.
