We were compelled to leave them and
take refuge in barns and sheds, for
the inhabitants would as soon have
welcomed the pestilence as returning
soldiers to their houses. We remain
ed at Batavia until the 18th, Of
November when we were told that
Uncle Sam was a bankrupt and we
could have no pay now, but should be
discharged the next day. ] received
two days rations-about two pounds
of pork, two of bread, and half pint
of whiskey. ! sold my whiskey for
a shilling, and took my discharge,
which was superscribed "Honor to
the brave" and declared that / was
discharged with honor. l arrived
home, a distance of sixty-five miles,
on the 10th. This was the third cam
paign in which / served during the
last war with England. / was never

capes. When General Ripley fell /

seen my fellow soldier fall on my
right hand and on my left. l have
been two days and two nights with
out one morsel of food or sleep. The
expenses, which l bore myself, left
me only $1,000 as my pay for three
months service. My clothes, which
were ruined in the campaign, would
cost far more than that. In 1914 the
Legislature passed a bill recognizing
our right to additional pay and cloth
ing, with interest, but it has never
been paid, and many of the brave
soldiers of that campaign need now
in their old age, the sums which, by
that lay, are now their due. May the
Legislature at length discharge their
duty.

can see at glance that there will be
"Doings" in the next campaign, and
that the contest for the State Senate
will be "Hoss Race"
Prosecutor Horace Adams is resting
easy, and can spend what little spare
time he gets in fishing, instead of
worrying about the next campaign.
Bert has more than met the expec-
tations of the people of Van Buren,
county as Prosecuting Attorney. He
is not only capable and hard work
ing official, but he is courteous, con-
genial and likable and transacts the
business of the office with rare good
judgment. He will be accorded the
customary second term and can rest
easy.
Political dope so many months
prior to the actual time for the cam
paign may be little premature, but
it is in the air, and while the "dope"
will have to be revised and remodel
ed probably many times before the
primaries next year, it only presages
some real contests when the time
comes.
