THE FREE LUNCHES.

An innovation this year was free
lunch to the school children. The
idea originated with some good wom-
en-, connected with the missionary So
cieties of the churches. The idea was
supply all children not able to buy
their dinner. There proved to be
about 1000 free lunches contributed,
and, so, the announcement was made
that all school children and other chill
dren, too, could get lunches free. No
hungry children on the Fair grounds

STAND BY WHO?
}

| (Adv.)
Editor the News:-A communica-
ton in the last issue of the News
signed by Temperance Man, Con-
federate Veteran and Democrat" calls
on the voters to stand by Senator Roy
al Tor various reasons. The first is
that he voted for the temperance bill
IN the legislature, Notwithstanding
the TACT that the other four Republi-
can Senators voted against it. | ask
that the voters do not lose sight of
the fact that the deciding vote ON the
Enabling Act" was cast by Dem
ocrat, Hon. j. Taylor Ellyson, and that
had 1t not been for this good Demo-
crat tho cause would have been lost.
or If he had been like four-fifths of
the Republican Senators the people
would never have had the opportunity
TO vote on the great question of state
/ wide prohibition And the peculiar
part about it is that all these Senator's
were from the Southwest, where the
large percentage for prohibition came
from.
IL 's further stated that at would
he compliment to Senator Royall
to return him to the Senate" etc.
This is not day of compliments po-
litically. The people of this great
section want more than n "complmen-
tary" Senator to represent this dis
trict. a complimentary Senator
can accomplish about as much as
ID rifle on the German frontier.
Let's send somebody down there who
can enter into the deliberations of
the body, and get something done for
Tazewcll. Russell. Buchanan and Dick
cnsoh countics-somc body who will
sit on the job" and not let legislation
get by that ieopardizcs our homes and
.ircsidcs.
Tho last paragraph of this article of
socnllcd "rcmpcrancc Man, Conrcdcr-
ate Veteran and Democrat" is gross
insult To the Confederate Veterans
of this great state. 1t appeals to
thea to support the candidate &C the
party that sent forth the armies chat
rnVishcd their homes in the great war
and against which they struggled so
valinntly from 'Gt to Go. And Why
does it say they should do this? BE.
c"usa Mr.. Royal introduced bill in
the legislature To give the Veterans
T.OJ year. How thin is such II
plea. The veteran who can he in
ilucnccd by such stuff must be weaker
III intellect than he was in courage.
When Mr.. Royal comes back home
and says he passed bill for incrcas-
cd pensions, then he might have claim
to the thanks and maybe the vote of
II veteran. But what is this thing that
he did? Why, he introduced II bill.
He could safely for campaign purpos-
es have offere one for 81 900 year,
knowing that he could not put bill
through the Senate, being, MS he is,
member of the minority party, with
no voice in shaping the policy of the
State.
If the Confederate soldiers of the
county and district want to really
vote for man, who not only is their
defender, but whose people have been
their defenders, there's nothing left
for them to do but vote for j. w.
Chapman for the Senate, n gentleman
who will represent them, and if il is
possible for the Old State to give
them relief they can rest assured that
he will be OH the job, "and will stick to
the ship till the last galutc's ashore"
if any measure affecting them is
brought up for consideration.

GEN. LYONS PENSION.
Amounted to But $25o, When Heirs
 Had Expected S1 200.

There is sleciaI interest in an ad- ministration account of the estate of General Nathaniel Lyon that has just passed through the probate court of the town of Eastford, where the fa- nous Civil War hero. first of the off, cers of high rank to fall in the war, lies at rest. Some of the general s heirs discovered that there was back pay due him. or rather his estate from the government and it was as- stunned that the sum must be betwee s1,2o0 and q ,500, with the accrued interest. The amount due, however proved to be much smaller and the heirs are said to have recently re- ceived $256.
 General Nathaniel Lyon stands out as one of the greatest personages that Connecticut contributed to the nation in the stirring days of '61, and it is said that the greatest number of persons ever gathered at one place in EYindtam county assembled for his funeral.

MILEAGE PAID LEGISLATORS
 ON INSTALLMENT PLAN Any Excess Over Constitutional Al- lewances to Be Paid by Members.

Hartford, Jan. GOT many oues- tions discussed at the outset by mem bers-elect of the General Assembly that or transportation during tho ses- sion received it's share of attention. No mileage had been sent out by the state comptroller and members paid their own way to Hartford At the coInptrouer's office it was said that following the precedent of last session members would receive only their constitutional allowance for mileage. An excess mileage need ed would have to be paid out of their own pockat.. The last lesislature passed a relief measure, which per- mitted the state treasurer to pay mem bers their salary on the ir1stallrnept plan, and unless 8 change is made this will be the plan this session. Mileage costs more this year than in 1913, and the net financial return to a member from his salary of $500 will be accord ingly less
