United States Pensioners.

No pensioner of the Revolutionary
war survives. The last one died in
1860, ut the age of 100, but last year
there were, and doubtless still are, four
Revolutionary widows OH the pension
rolls, none of them older v.::.n SO.
Pensioners widows make little of the
lapse of centuries. Judging by prece-
dent it is not improbable that $50 years
from now there will still be widows
drawing pensions on account of the
services Of their husbands in our late
war with Spain.
Only one pensioner who served in the
war of 1912 is left. His name is Hiram
Cronk. lie is 100 years old and lives
in Oneida County, New York. About
1000 widows Of 1912 arc left Oh the
rolls. The pensioners of the civil war
hold out very we'll indeed. Every year
on juno 80 they arc counted. In June,
1893. the number on the lists was 003,-
ia. Last year there were about 1000
less, and this year also there are fewer
than III 1893, but the commissioner says
that in 1901 the list will beat the re-
cord, because an Act Of Congress,
passed last May, has extended the pro-
visions Of the law of 1890, SO rs to let
in many thousands Of new claimants.
About one-quarter of all the pensions
go to widows.-Harper's Weekly.

Farming that Pays,

Wheat, $3.50; oats, sls5; straw, $l25;
hay, $3.50; sorghum, $i40 cane seed,
$75. Total, @1,1G5.
That is tho value of the side crops
raised by Mr.. w. S. VVilkcrson, of
Hickory Grove, this year, with three
plows. Nj. Wilkerson is one Of the
largest land owners in western York
and has number Of renters. He runs
only three plows himself, however,
and the figures quoted represent what
he has realized without counting his
cotton or corn.
Mr. Wilkcrson plants both cotton
and corn, Of course. With The same
three pl0ws he cultivated about 25
acres of each, and the prospects are as
good as arc those Of any Of his neigh
bors. But everybody raises cotton and
corn, and it is the showing of these
side crops that is especially interesting.
In talk with the reporter Wednes-
day, Mr.. Wilkcrson gave the figures as
estimates only. The estimates may be
taken rs very nearly correct. They
arc rather under than over; but if
there is any dispute sIr. Willlcrson has
the exact figures at home by which the
matter may be settled definitely.
In the opinion of Mr.. Wilkerson.
5000 will cover the entire expense Of
making the crops mentioned, and he
thinks lie can fairly say that they rep
resent clear profit of nearly $1,000.
While he was talking he told of crop
per who cut $3.50 worth Of crab grass
hay-sold the hay at that-offa stubble
field. The wheat had been fertilizcd
literally, and it was the fertilizer that
caused the grass to grow so luXuriant-
ly. The grass sold for enough to pay
for the fertilizers that had been used
on the wheat. That portion of the
wheat field that had not been fcrtilized
yielded no crab grass that was worth
cutting.
,y;S'lpSasal y";SS'peaaing Is Of hay, though" said Mr..
rience that ought to be interesting.

The Confederate Veterans Reunion, Geor.
gia Division, in Augusta.

the SECOND annual reunion Of the
Georgia Confederate Veterans will be
held at Augusta, Ga, November IA, Is,
16, 1900.
1t is now just seven weeks before the
reunion of the old Confederate Veter-
nns OF Georgia and South Carolina.
This reunion should be memorable
OCCASION from the fact that many of the
old comrades are growing ripe in old
age and it may be the last time they
will have an opportunity of seeing
those whom they stood shoulder to
shoulder with during the trying days
of the COS.
:. Another fact worthy of mention is
TINT they will have the opportunity Of
meeting the comrades OF old South
Carolina, the State in wbi.E secession
was born, and no doubt there are many
South Carolinians who now reside in
Georgia, and many Gcorgians who re-
side in South Carolina, all Of whom
will have an opportunity of meeting
and mlngling with each other on the
banks of the Savannah River, at Au-
gusta, during th;z years rcunio...
Another FAR. ii.at should LEAD o..-
cLantment to this occasion is, that tho
people of Augusta are noted far and
wide for their unbOundcd hospitality
to their guests. And they intend
pending every effort to make this q
long to be remembered occasion for
those whom we love, because it may be
many years before many of us will
have the pleasure of doing their part
in making life pleasant for our old
comrades.
The railroads Of Georgia and South
Carolina are determined to do their
parts n,anfully and see to it that very
low rate is given to all sections of the
two states that everybody may be
present on this festive occasion.
The different committees intend
using every effort for tho comfort md
pleasure Gf al WiiO will be here on the
14th, 10Th, 10th of November.
The chairmen of the following COM
mittees will be glad to answer any

ferent departments.
