 10 ARRIVE LATE

Auditor of State Hogan Oliver has advised R. A. Reynolds, a member Iof the county pension board, that checks for all Confederate veterans and their widows will be mailed about three weeks late this year, due to the delay O. many tax collectors in mak- ing their settlements with the audi tors office. The delay will mean the pension checks will not be received until near the end of this month, it was said at the office of County Clerk John Reeves.
 Many inquiries have been received at Mr. Reeves office for explanation of the delay. Those who will receive the checks are asked not to suffer any uneasiness. as the delay will be a short one and is due to causes beyond the control of any of the offices or boards through which they are han died. Confederate pensions this year will be larger than those of 1919, ac- cording to an announcement by Mr. Oliver, increased taxation placing larger fund at the disposal of the state for this purpose.
