Everybody After Pensi0na-Hepub-
Iicnns Trying TO Oust a Democrat.
Special Correspondence Gazette and journal
GEORGETOWN, July Yesterday was
the day appointed by the pension agent
here for all soldiers to put in claims for
pensions. One might have thought by the
way they began to come in town early in
the morning that every man who had
been in the war from Sussex county and
even every man who ever thought of
going were coming to try for pension.
There was about 40 who made spplica-
ton. One woman said she thought she
ought to have pension for her husband
paid $500 for substitute.
The trustees of the poor met this
morning in their regular quarterly meet
ing. For few days one or two Repubh-
cans have been circulating petiNon 10
have Mr.. Hiram Short removed, the only
reason given in said petition being that
MIR. Short is a Democrat. Many OF the
leading Republicans are refusing to sign
10 because they think that Mr.. Short is
the right man for the place and might do
worse to make change.
The Methodist Episcopal Sunday
school pupils and teachers are leaving
town for the Sands Hills whore they will
hold picnic. About $50 children are
gathered Ia front OF the church ready to
start and all look very happy in the an
tioipation OF the pleasures Of the day.
The DemocrAtio club of Georgetown
hundred held its regular monthly meet
ing last evening and while che regular
selected speaker was mot present short
speeches were made by different mem
bers Of tho club.
