Echo of War of Revolution.

While visiting the homefolks at Mar
shall. Mo, recently, George y. Davis.
official stenographer of the Macon dis
trict. ran across an old circuit court
record, the declaration of a soldier of
the war of 1912 that he had "toiled and
bed" for his country. and was flat
tered with the belief that those in
power now wont be ungrateful to theri
sires - II will be something of a relief
10 those who peruse the quaint and
rather involved declaration to learn
that in addition to ''one undivided half
cf horse worth $50 and one crippled
negro boy worth $50" Uucle Sam re-
membered his flintlock fusilier by the
granting of an adequate pension.
