Forrest county has IL pensioners
on its rolls.
The work of examining the applica-
tions filed during the last month un,
der the new law, by the new board of
pension commissioners, has been com
pleted, and it has been ascertained
that If every county in the state has
adhered to and complied with the act
of the last legislature as closely as
the Forrest board, the pro rata PEN
sioners Of the state will receive $4,750
more than they did last year.
There are no SIPS a year pension
ers in Forrest county In class 2, for
veterans, which pays $75 year, there
are 6; class 8, women dependents,
there are 1S; class 4, men in the pro
rata, there are SS; class 5, negroes, pro
rata, a, and class 6, women, pro rata,
81.
1t is believed that the pro rata pen.
sioners will. draw more than $40 this
year. Last year they drew but $3.50.
The highest sum ever paid was three
years ago, when they drew $4O4O each.
There were but five applications re
