FEDERACY.
Il. LAD1Es-lt was my purpose, as |
said in my last letter, to publish
at once in these columns what l
learned rabout the Mississippi veter-
I sx4s who are in other states Sol
1rs' Homes l only heard from the

u h and was so busy that | had no
HE to write This week though you
SVsre to have all l know about them. 1t
Hswill at least serve to teach us never to
ssbelieve aN we hear of such things The
sfacts publish come directly from the
] Homes and are to be depended upon.
The biennial report of the Louisiana
Home for 1893 has on its list OF inmates
six native Mississippians, but none go
Hing to the Home from Mississippi.
IT.. T. Walshe, who is president of the
saboard of directors writes me that there
Rare NO Mississippians there now,
s.tho' at times we have had few
6veterans from that state AS l
Ftold yon, ! wrote, asking for the
number of those who went to The
Eho,ne from Mississippi as disabled
veterans. The superintendent OF the
ETexsA Soldiers Home seems to have
misunderstood me, for he sends the
s1;st of those "who enlisted for the war
IN Mississippi. In this list there are
Ssix. and he adds, "a number have died
INT the Home whose names have omit
tad" The superintendent of the Ten
knessee Home writes and gives list OF
M ississippi veterans and / suppose he
means those who went to the Home
from Mississippi, no matter where they
enlisted, as asked him for that and he
saws he gives "a list of names as per re-
nnest" In the list of those discharged
or left the Home, there are two who
.left OF own accord" one went TO the
county asylum" and one discharged.
Upder the list of dead are two,
aNow in the Home three.
IN So we see the number SO, | heard OF
N Richmond, is rery greatly reduced

and be sure to keep these facts inhnind,
so that the next time you hear anyone
speak of the great number of Mssissip.
pi veterans who are in other states'
Homes, correct them with these facts
gotten from the Homes | did not
hear Of any other states having any of
onr veterans SO | suppose these are all
But the very fact that few disabled
veterans have to go from our state to
other Homes goes to show that Mis-
sissippi ought TO have Home for her
veterans who have no homes or home
comforts be they ever so few. That it
is looked on by the veterans as poor
house" must be great mistake. i never
visited but one Home, that in Rich
mond, and nevr any poorhonses. b, I
if a poorhouse is AZ nice and comfort
able as the Richmond Soldiers Home,
then paupers are very fortunate people.
And Of the large number of soldiers we
saw there, | did not see a SINGLE one
who looked as though he felt that he
was pauper and in a poorhouse. They
looked like brave men and true, though
plainly showing their inability to care
for themselves | do not believe they
felt anything but that Virginia, their
mother, for whom they fought brave.
l., was doing only what should be her
pleasure to do, trying to pay great
debt due them by caring for them in q
helpless old age mississippi has few
veterans who need to be similarly cared
for, and you may be very sure that IT
they were asked about ii, they would
say rather hundred times Home
where we know we will be cared for
than a pension which, though ever 50
large to begin with, dwindles to only 4
few dollars each year, not enough to
keep rs from starving six months.
Plea Sc let me receive yonr vote on tho
home committee very soon, az we ought
to know in order TO go to work, at once
With best wishes for happy and
New Year, | am.

his sewer system to the city for
the sum of 50. 900, or such sum as

matter.
A communication from Thomas
Robinson was then read stating
that it the city would appropriate
$500 toward the construction of
a bridge across Sand creek on
Second street, that the Florence
Electric Street Railway company

balance of the cost. The bridge
will be eighty feet wide, or the full
width of the street. 1t will be
made of steel ofsufioient strength
to carry two street railway tracks,
two road ways and two side walks.
The proposition was accepted and
it was decided to join with the
street railway company to build
the bridge to cost not less than
5000.

Another communication was

Alliance, asking that all the ga
looms be closed between the hours
of midnight and 6 O'Clock in the

PRESIDENTS
MESSAGE
is GOOD

The flag is unterrified, and Democracy
still waves. But for the real flights of
oratory you should listen to the words of
praise of our customers for us 1t is
truly wonderful They hear our compe
titors roast us; it starts that curiosity
bump working, and they come in and
talk over our bargains with us Just to
find out why the other real estate men
roast us.
They get their house and lot, or their
policy of insurance as the case may be,
and are so pleased with what they get
that they all but shout our praise on the
street corners.
1t is a fact, we make each customer a
walking advertisement-int the vernacu-
lar of the day, a 'plugger" for our office.
Come in and let us fix you up with pair
of lots or nice home. We have few
specials this week which are downright
snaps, as follows:
