Query-There is widow in this
town whose husband died lately She
married him in 1901 and lived with
him up to 1904, when she separated
from him.. A pension agent tells her
that she is not entitled to pension, but
what ] want to know is whether she
can get the pension due her husband
at the time of his death. He was pen
stoned at the rate of $50 per month.
He served in the civil war three years.
IN. w. A.
Answer-The widow to whom you
refer is not entitled to the accrued
pension due the soldier from the date
he received his last quarterly pension
to the date of his death for the reason
that the act of March 8, 1899, spe-
officially provides that no pension shall
be paid to a widow who marries a sol.
der subsequent to March 3, 1899, un.
less she shall have lived with said
soldier continuously from the date of
such marriage to the date of his
death. The proviso does not apply to
the widows of soldiers and sailors who
served in the war between the United
States and Spain.

 This makes the second road that has, at the solicitation of the Business Mems league, put on the special weekend rate of one fare for the round trip, the other being the Alabama Great Southern. The Southern and the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroads also have spe- cial weekend rate on, making in all four roads that have such rates in effect.
 The putting on of the weekend rate is progressive step on the part of the Seaboard which will be much appreciated by It's patrons" said Secretary Chaffee.
 Capt. Jack ". Johnson. the genial dis trict passenger agent of the Seaboard Air Line, was largely instrumental in securing this concession for the Business Mems league Captain Johnson is identi- fled with Birmtngham's local interests and never fails to avail himself of an opportunity to get his road to make any concession which 1t can consistently make to the Birmingham district

 Positively mo-" the witness replied. Did MT. Grove see you when he came in with MT. Hunt?"
