There are now 970,524 persons
drawing pensions from the United
States government, and Of this num-
Der only 682,118 we're in the last
war between the States. There are
1850 pensioned widows and mi.
nor children and Is 900 navy pen
sions, and as it is estimated that l.
125, 600 men are still living who
fought in the union army, It is quite
evident from the above figures thai
over 60 per cent of them are draw
ing pensions. The war ended a third
Of a century ago, but nevertheless, il
is a fact that the number of union
soldiers who are on the pension rolls
to-day is greater than the total mum
Der of soldiers who entered the con-
federate army from the beginning te
the end Of the war.

Sunday Law.

The Gazette predicted at the be-
ginning of the session that the Sun
day law would remain on the statutes
just as it was placed there. Instead
Of making the law more lenient the
chances are that will be made more
strict. The Sunday law folks have
a majority in the Legislature and if
they don't give US something 10 the
shape Of the Tennessee iniquity
which prohibits a man from planting
potatoes on a Sunday. we should be
thankful to our stars.-Lafayette

Don't worry Bro. Mouton this
thing may come to pass sooner than
you think. The Republicans, Re.
formers and Citizens Leaguers are
in for all sorts of changes. The
