The butter from this creamery
ranks with the highest in New

and noted for their excellence.
The last census of the town showed
about 1000 inhabitants. We have
four Observation-Disclosures, Episcopal,

We take this opportunity OF in.
forming our subscribers that the rev
Commissioner of Pensions has been
appointed. He is an old soldier, and
we believe that soldiers and their heirs
will receive justice at his hands. We
do not anticipate that there will br
any radical changes in the adminis>
tration OF pension affairs under the
new regime.
We would advise, however, that
U. S. soldiers, sailors, and their heirs,
take steps to make application at
once, ii they have not already done
so, in order to secure tho benefit of
the early filing OF their claims in cas- !,
there should be any future pension
legislation. Such legislation is sel>
dom retroactive. Therefore it is of
great Importance that applications be
filed in the department at the earliest
possible date.
If U. S. SOLDIERS. SAILORS, OR
THEIR WIDOWS, CHILDREN, OR PA
RENTS desire information in regard
to pension matters, they should write
to THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY, AT

p'ication, if they find them entitled
