Spanish War Pensions.

Sixty thousand claims for pensions
have been filed by those who enlisted
to fight against Spain. 1t is probably
a good thing that the question Of these
pensions should be raised at once and
settled while the matter is fresh. but
it hurts ones idea of patriotism.
Everyone wants justice for the victims
Of that unfortunate war, but Of the
10000 claimants only about 10000 are
worthy. Of the large number. of beers

have been commenced to dissolve the
incorporation of the village of Grandy.
This village was organized last winter
but it seems that everything has not

Monday. Tom was promised to County
Commissioner Deans little girl some
time ago, but he became such a prime
favorite about the hotel that Manager
Burrell was 10th to part with Tom.
Mr.. Deans little girl was down last
week and Mr.. Burrell made good his
promise and gave Tom to the girl who
took him home with her Saturday.
But Tom did not like his new play
ground and longed for his old beat at
the Commercial hotel. He was so rest
less and i'll at ease that Mr.. Deans con-
cluded to bring the dog back Monday
and Manager Burrell was surprised to
see Tom hop off the morning train, and
make bee line to the bus like any
old-time commercial traveller. Tom
jumped onto the seat and placed his
fore paws out the window with evident
enjoyment and satisfaction, and when
he reached the hotel he was perfectly
delighted to be home again. Mr..
Deans little girl was compensated for
her loss by being presented by Mr..
Burrell with u handsome large doll,
that certainly is the queen of dolldom.
She returned home Monday with the
doll, while "Nigger Tom and his
