Book:
Major Catch, of this city. has in his
possession a relic of the late war

priced by the original owner, in case

in 1850 by Lippincott, Gambo & Co.,
and has been remarkably well cared
for The book was picked up on the
battlefield at Heckers Ford, Skaters
Fork of Cheat river, in this State, on
the 18th of July, 1861, just after the
fight was over. Major Catch will
gladly deliver the book to MIR. Grafton
or his nearest relative, if either can
be found. Mr. Grafton was in all prob
ability soldier, but whether on the
Union or the Confederate side is I'M
known. On the fly leaf of the book is
the following, written in lady
hand: Presented to Mr.. John n.
Grafton by his sister. Mary E. Grafton.
May the 18th, 1861. Keep this, my
brother, in remembrance of me-" And
on the inside Of the cover the follow
ing: Found by Charles F. Laycock,
July 18th, 1861, Hecker's Ford, battle

presented to B. f. Catch, Of Whining
ton, Indiana
If this item should find Mr.. Grafton
or his relatives, and he will address
Major B. f. Catch, Wheeling, w. Va.
satisfying him that he is the owner,
the book will be forwarded to him.

was enacted appropriating $780,

Confederate soldiers or sailors
and their widows. It was also
provided that a Board Of Pension
Commissioners should be ap-
pointed by the Governor to pass
upon the various claims for pen

cordance with this law, Gov.

ing board: Messrs. J. A. Chala-

exceed IS per month. The most

Railroad Commissioner.

We take pleasure in directing
the attention of the voters of this
District to the announcement Of
Capt. Z. T. King, Of Iberia, as Il
candidate for Railroad Commits
sioner. While there are doubtless
other good and competent candi-
dates out for this important Office,
we are free to say that none have
better claims to public support
than Capt. King. Besides his
undoubted fitness for the position
he has been Il Democrat all his
life and a hard and persistent
worker for the party, spending
his money freely when he was in
4 position to do so, and has never
had an office. He served lis
State faithfully and gallantly
as a Confederate soldier, and
bears an unblcmished record as
an officer; and since the war has
given his time and talents freely
to the material advancement Of
this section, taking an active part
in the efforts to opening and lock
ing Bayou Plaquemine, and the
Improvement of navigation, and
other matters of public benefit.
AS Railroad Commissioner, the
public interests could be safely
intrusted to Capt. E. T. King.
We publish in another column
communication from Capt.
King to the New Iberia "Iberian
in regard to his position us can
didate, and we invite its careful
