Important Pension Bill

Congress passed and the president
recently signed a very important
pension bill in which every old
soldier is deeply interested. This
bill gives any man who served 80
days in the war of the rebellion
and who has arrived at the age of
go years the sum of Sl2 per month
Those who have arrived at the age
of 10 years, SIS per month and
those Is years and past, $50 per
month. All that is required in
the way of proof is that the appli-
cant has arrived at the age speci-
fed and his pension will be in
creased to the amount named.
This will affect nearly every
pensioner in this valley, as we'll as
those in other parts of the United
States.
