LITTER DELIVERY.

OF the one hundred millions Of dol
lars which the United States Govern
mcnt distributes every year to its pen
sicncrs, a considerable amount comes
to Fulton County, Ga. says the At
lanta Constitution. There is cool
long list of disabled federal soldiers
who reside in and around Atlanta, AMI
draw their monthly reward from the
national treasury. Veterans of the war
of 1912 are becoming very scarce, but
there are two of these and WIDOW of
another residing in this county. All
three of these pensioners are persons of
remarkable vitality, considering their
age. The Youngest of the three Is Mrs.
! dina Turner, who is eighty Her
husband has been dead great many
years, and she now resides with son
in-law. Few women of fifty have the
physical and mental activity which
Mrs. Turner possesses. Her memory
is remarkably full and accurate. Ac-
oording TO The standard by which Ma
poleCn declared Il wOman's greatness
should be estimated, she is truly
great woman. She has over one hun
drcd great grandchildren now living,
many of whom she has never seen.
Everybody admits that Mrs. Turner is
entitled to the SO month which the
Government pays for the services
rendered by her gallant husband in
helping to rcpcl the invading red coats
in the second war with Engla ID. Both
| the old soldiers who draw pensions for
service in the war of 1912 are consider
ably above 80 years of age and are
| lively old gentlemen.
