Veterans Next Monday.

Inasmuch as the State pension board
has adopted new form of blank APP
plications for pensions, it is absolutely
necessary for good county board TO
be selected and in accordance with a
previous notice the confederate veter-
ans will meet in the court house Mon
day 18th, inst. The lanented Major
c. S. Land was the count, chairman,
and by his death Judge J. II. Mahoney
who is vice chairman becomes chair
man. Judge Mahoney is deeply inter-
ested in this work and he especially
urges a large attendance. The pen
sion business is very much abused,
there are people on the pension list
who do not properly belong there, and
there are others who should be, that
can not get on the list. This is largely
due to the manner of selecting the
county boards; as rule county boards
are made up of men who have political
ambitions, and they will use the pen
sion lists to further their political in
terests, the result is, that many a
deserving man and woman who have
no political Influences is deprived OF what
the State intended they should have:
watch it, fellow who has large fam
ily connection, becomes a favorite with
county boards, and it does not matter If
that fellow has property and position
he secures the very highest class OF
pension: that man is able to earn a
livelihood from his property and posi-
ton, yet he gets larger pension than
the man who is MANNED or decrepld
from diseased, and without the means
of earning support. This is a condi-
ton which ought not exist, and when
the county board is selected next Mon
day, great care should be taken to keep
men off OF that board who have pollti-
cal axes to grind. 1t is all very nice to
TO get up and with tears rolling down
the cheeks, tell of the suffering endured
upon this and that field OF action, and TO
remind those present of the suffering
now being endured by the aged and
infrm old heroes, but the thing to do,
IS to Gull out from the pension list those
whom the law did not intend to receive
pensions, and thereby give more to the
needy. 1t is a solemn TACT that there
are men and women on the pension
lists today who are the benehciaries OF
the incomes of thousands of dollars
worth of property, while there are
soldiers, and widows Of soldiers who
cannot get pension scarcely able to
subsist. Those who get on, that are
benefciaries of property incomes make
no showing on the tax books, the prop
erty they get benefits from, is in the
name of relatives whom they are living
with and who have been and are still
supporting them.
When the veterans meet here next
Monday some of their number should
bring this matter up and discuss 1t,
and when they select a board let them
select men who will follow the law tc
the letter, and men who will not have
favorites. Remember next Monday
is the day and large turn out should

single man and anxious to sacrifice
himself to the apron strings of some
creatures whose Papa won't make a
fellow work, had his sympathies aroas-
ed by the appeal of the shivering pair
OF doves on the outside, so he got up,
yanked the sleepers out of the corner
OF his eyes, went with them to the
house of Mr.. Charlie Thames, and in
a few moments there stood before him
Mr.. Bolin Thames of Davis and Miss
--Galloway of Packsville, and
in all the solemnity of divine and human
law this couple were made man and
wife. After receiving the blessings
of the digniied and sleep-broken Judge,
Magistrate Dickson glided back into
outer darkness and permitted the
newly hitched couple to have their way
rejoicing.

Mr.. S. R. Tobias Returns from Colorado.

A happy family reunion took place
last Saturday evening at the residence
of Clerk of Court J. H. Timmons: the
cause of the rejoicing was the return
from Colorado of Mr.. r. S. Tobias, his
wife and four children.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. To-
bias gave a listening ear to the stories
told BY band Of Mormon elders who
freouented the Santee section OF this
county, and as a consequence Mr.. To-
bias daughter became engaged to
marry one of the elders. According to
their custom the marriage had to take
place in the Mormon church, and they
went to Colorado to get married, fol-
lowed by Mr.. Tobias and his whole
family. Including his son-in-law. Mr..
James Haley and his family.
Instead of finding land flowing with
milk and honey as was so vividly pic
tured to these trusting people, they
found themselves friendless and alone,
among people who cared for them not.
The climate was severe and bleak and
the prospects for the future grew more
and more dismal. Mr.. Tobias daugh-
ter that married the Mormon elder led
an unhappy existence and died about a
wear after going there. Mr.. Haley, as
soon as he could secure the funds, gath
cred up his family and came home.
This left the old gentleman friendless
indeed, and his relatives here became
the more anxious to get him back.
Several efforts were made to raise the
necessary money, and times were hard
and money scarce, but after persistent
efforts the funds were raised a few
weeks ago, and telegraphic check was
sent which brought them back to their
native home, never more to be tempted
away by the smooth tongued stranger
in the guise of a minister of the gospel.
They left Sanford, Colorado. Tuesday
of last week and steady travel, night and
day. brought them here Saturday night,
when they were met at the depot by
Mr.. I. n. Tobias and other members Of
the family and friends. They were
taken to the residence of Clerk of Court
Timmons, where reception was given
them which no doubt made the return
ING wanderers feel themselves once
more surrounded by friends.

the Circus.

Rhoda Royal show was here last
Thursday and gave a day and night
performance. The crowd was fairly
large, but not so large as crowds that
attended circuses heretofore.
The merchants did a thriving busi-
ness and there was no drunkenness, a
thing so conspicuous heretofore. The
crowd was orderly and merry and when
the street parade wound its way back
to the grounds, the bulk of the crowd
followed to see 'the lady make the
high dive" The side shows accompa-
MED the ''big show as usual and all
the curios of ancient and modern genius
were inside, or rather on the large
painted illustrations which adorned the
outside The hawkers for these side
shows displayed good lung power in en-
tertaining gaping listeners, land the
band played on"
When the "big show" opened the
usual rush for entrance was made, and
the sight within was the same which
greeted our forefathers in the long ago:
it was the same old ring. acrobatic ap-
pliances, tight wire, red lemonade.
honey-coated popcorn and stinkadoro
cigars. The show reminded the writer
of that sound which emanates from a
bass drum, and yet for the admission
fee it was good enough. The concert
after the show was very much decayed
and should be quarantined.
1t was indeed one of the sights OF the
show to see some of our city bellies
munching the honey-coated popcorn
an slipping the red lemonade. The
clown became infatuated with one of
our prettiest girls because she chawed
popcorn gracefully. Every time he
passed around the ring he gave her a
wink which set her heart pattering
50 that those sitting near her could
hear it striking against the steels in
her r. & G. corset, bought at Rigby's,
and the ringing sound was more musi-
cal than the strings on the violin played
by the leader in the concert orchestra.
But it was all right: flirting with cir
Gus clowns goes when girls that eat
popcorn and drink red lemonade are at
the circus.

lovers of the sport in that town were
easily persuaded to get into line. Then
for a week the project dragged. and it
