CHARGE CLEARED
AFTER so YEARS
Alexander Man Now Honor
ably Discharged From
Union Army.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 21.-
Thomas P. Johnston, OF Alexander. w.
Va, has been honorably discharged
from the Union army after a lapse of
SO years. In 1864 Johnston enlisted in
the Twenty-third Ohio Infantry. serv-
ing eight months. He then asked to
be transferred to a West Virginia
regiment, but his request was refused.
Desiring to be associated with his
friends from the Mountain State, he
quit the Ohio regiment, and a few
weeks later enlisted in the Seven
teenth West Virginia Infantry, in
which regiment he served until the
end of the war when he was honorably
discharged.
Years ago Johnston made applica-
ton for a pension, but as the laws
bars any deserter from receiving a
pension, his claim was rejected. Vari-
Gus members Of congress have from
time to time taken up Johnston's case,
but met with no success. Some
months ago the case was brought to
Congressman Neely's attention and he
became interested in it.
After personally arguing the case
DCIoiC oCSIGldly Vi war SdTTlSOH
on two occasions, he convinced the
secretary finally that Johnston was
entitled to pension and he accord.
ingly caused an honorable discharge
to be issued to him for his service in
the Ohio regiment, and issued an ac-
companying order clearing his name
from the charge of desertion.
The result will be that Johnston
will now be placed on the pension
roll. He will receive between $500
and $500 accrued pension under the
age act OF May. 1912, but in addition
to that, as he filed his pension claim
in 1890, it is the opinion of the. Of
ficials, given off hand, that there is
no way under the law to prevent his
receiving pension from the date of
the filing of his application. If that
proves to be the case. and the indica-
tions are that it will, Johnston will
receive an additional $1,000. 1t is one
of the most remarkable cases that has
been before the pension bureau in
many years. say the officials. Mr..
Johnston is over 20 years of age. but
in good health for one of his years.

When Christmas Calls

Christmas has called and l

Christmas has whispered-and

There's something that beckons
to us who must roam
Far from the berries of scarlet
and white;
There's something that beckons
and our on the road
We follow the way of a dream
that is old,
And weary the traveller and
heavy the load
Of those who may never turn
back to the fold.
Christmas has called and want
to go back
Back through the years to a
day that l know
Over-the trail of a dream-woven
Into the heart of the Longtime
Ago.
Where scarlet and white from
the gray walls above
The holly twIned in with the
mistletoe bough,
And all of us met in a circle of

Serried and straight in an uu-

it is paid and is used by the
schools right at the doors of the
persons who pay the tax
MIR. Rivers does not wish to be
understood as opposing local
school tax, but on the other hand
he is highly in favor of it. He
just wants the people to under
stand why taxes are higher than
in the davs when there were no
local school taxes. The people
have voted the tax, and should
not blame the county officials
for acts of their own.
Where is the man who would
cripple the school at either of
the above named places because
of the extra tax? Most of us,
when we think Alright, take
pride in the fact that we are
helping to run these schools and
educate the boys and girls who
so quickly become men and wo-
men.

This is the season when we
all want to be happy. Pleasure
is the thing we seek, various and
sundry attempts are made to
bring JOY and gladness into our
own lives and into those about
us. The most infamous and rid
icIlous of all these attempts is to
tank up on pop.skull liquor. For
each thrill of real happiness
brought by alcohol there are
thousand pangs of sorrow. The
man who loves or respects his
wife, mother. sister, or sweet
heart should stop and consider
possible results of his christmas
spree. Many man would gladly
give everything to be able to
start back at the beginning with
the experience he has bought so
dearly.
Then the God who made man
in His own image has an indis-
putable right to the minds and
lives Of The creatures of His

that the people who are kicking
like steers at the high taxes,
should take time to look into the
