An erroneous impression is
abroad among the C0nfedsiate
pensioners Of Mississippi that
they will be required to make
new applications this year, de-
spite the fact that their names
are already on the peusion rolls.
This is not fact. The recent
Legislature had large number
of bills pending seeking to revise
the pension system, but the most
meritorions measure of this sort
failed TO pass. The law as it
stands at present creates a broad
Of pension commissioners
composed of five ex~Con
federate Veterans who are to
pass on the new application now
on the pension roll, and give ahe
board authority to investigate all
pensions heretofore passed upon

erase the names of such persons
whose case do not come within
tue provisione of the law An
amendment was adopted regar-
ding pensions for widows, and no
widow will be allowed pension
who was not marrien to a soldier

as it now stands is to give pal-
