Golden wedding of n Veteran.

1t is the custom of Candy Post, G. A.
r., of Hood River, Ore, to celebrate
the 50th anniversary of a comrades s
wedding when both the contracting
parties have been spared to enjoy the
same. The latest golden wedding of a
comrade was celebrated by the Post
and Relief Corps Oct. 10, 1908. Com
rade H. II. Bailey and wife We're mar
ried Oct. II, 1858, at Columbus. Iowa;
the former born in Orleans County, VT,
March 81, 1896; the latter in Miami
County, Ohio, in 1S40. Comrade Bailey
served three years in Co. C. Sth Iowa
His regiment belonged to the ill-fated
Prentiss Division, Army of the Tennes-
see, and he was taken prisoner at Shi-
loh. The golden wedding was a very
enjoyable affair to the large attendance
of the comrades and w. Il. G. members
A handsome gold-headed cane, suitably
engraved, was presented the groom b.
the Post while the bride was the re-
cipient of a gold-handied umbrella. The
presentation speeches were unique and
gallantly responded to. The dinner that
followed was made up from the best of
everything edible.-S. T. Blythe, Adju-
tant, Candy Post.

sharp and clear. If one may hazard a
guess, your coin is probably an English
penny of the time of the Georges. These
were formerly very common.
w. L., Paterson, N. J., asks: Is there
any premium on a $50 gold piece of the
issue of 1907, or, as 1t is called, the fly
ing eagle, or any on the $40 coin of the
lotto coin?
The new $40 and $40 gold pieces is
sued In 1907 without the motto I'm God
We Trust" have been sold in New York
at a premium of half their face value;
that is to say, SIS for the $40 and $40
for the $50 piece. II should be remem-
bered that this was the selling price Of
the dealers, not their buying price.
There is no premium on the current
coins bearing the motto.
II. G. r. Southport. N. c., asks:
Where is the highest tide in the United
States?
Eastport, Me-, with an average rise
of 1S feet and two inches, holds the
record. The lowest tide is at Galveston
Tex. where the average is only 13
inches.

was all right. i thought some one

any flag. unless it was the flag of the
SD c. T., which I was satisfied was
not correct, for L hardly thought they
would have a white man as flag bearer.

for it, but would love to have q kind
letter from Serg't Smith telling me who
the other officer was. 1 have found out
long ago from Col. Branson who the
colored trooper was. and that he died
near Boonville, Mo.
/ must inform Capt. DEAN that am
no longer a friendly enemy, but a
friendly friend. I have nothing but

ANSWERS TO
CORRESPONDENTS

A. NJ. R.. Kansas City, Kan, asks:
What is the salary paid to Governors
of Soldiers Homes per year, and al
to the Pension Agents?
According to the latest Blue Book,
which is the official register of the en-
ployes of the United States Government,
published in 1907, the Governors of
the Soldiers Homes are as follows:
John T. Richards, Togus, Me-; Thomas
It. Knox, Hampton, Va; A. ]. Clark,
Dayton, O.; Sidney G. Cooke, Leaven-
worth, Kan; Cornelius Wheeler. Mil
waukee, Wis; o. H. La Grange, Los
Angeles, Cal; George w. Steele, Ma
rion, Ind; Isaac Clements, Danville, ILL.,,
and John P. Smith, johnson City, Tenn.
Each receives salary of $4,000 a year
except A. ]. Clark, of Dayton, o., who
fs paid $4,000. The annual salary of
Pension Agents is $4,000.

In the paper they would buy old PEN
MES. i have one that was made in
1926 as big as silver half-dollar. What
will they pay for it? 1 have a Confed-

According to the list of prices paid
Cor rare American coins by dealers in
New York City, there is no premium
on the copper cent of 1925. That of
1923 has a value of from 10 to 60 cents,

As the United States Mint did not
begin to coin money until 1893, 1t is not
quite clear what coin you refer to as
"a half-dollar of 1881" The issues for
1871 and 1881 command no premium.
A two-cent piece OF 1864 is also with
out premium. The copper coin to which

Some extracts from letter writ
ten by an Oklahoma farmer will give
an idea as to the amount of interest
in a game Of post cards:
When the post card fad came I was
surprised at receiving my share Of
cards. I sent for the American Girl
set, and had my name placed in the
exchange. [ soon found [ did not
have half enough cards and procured
more. [ sent out my cards freely,
and received a deluge of cards since.
My mail was a surprise to our rural
carrier. They came from all over the
United States and Canada. | sent
contemplating scene to lady in the
North, and another lady winter
mistletoe scene. When received
their cards one was from a school
girl, and the other from her teacher.
The girl asked if l would send them
a boil of cotton and branch Of mistle-
toe, as they had never seen either. [
sent them, and will do as much for
any teacher who sends a card, because
they will interest the whole school.
1t is the joliest game I have played
at for a long time.
"ALBERT WILSON,
There is one point about The JEFF
fersonians that our advertisers are
just beginning to see, and that is that
each paper and magazine-each copy
has a longer life, buster life and
more useful life, than is spent by
most papers and magazines. Most
publications that come to your home
are glanced over by the home folks,
then put aside. They have no perma-
nent interest and only a momentary
value. But The Jeffersonian has
definite purpose message, welcome
or unwelcome, that must be heard.
