NEWBERQ GRAPHIC TAKEN TO O SERIOUSLY. Last week the Graphic pub lished an artkle taken from the Kansas City Star giving some o f the pleas put up by old soldiers in making application for pen sions, whkh it seems some of the old veterans about tow n have taken very much to heart. The funny ride o f the matter was alone seen by the editor o f the Graphic in reading the article and it was not published with any thought o f casting any re flections on the old soldier. We have never been inclined t o pub lish these things, but since there has been an attempt on the part o f some to muke it appear that we are against the old vets, will say that at the breaking out of the war, a brother, the only member o f our family o f proper age for enlistment, entered the service, served out his time, re enlisted and tow ard the close of the second term o f service spent w hat was known as the “ cold New Year” at Cumberland Gap, alm ost perishing from cold and starvation and in the spring fol low ing, when on the march north with prisoners gave out and died at the roadside. A cousin o f the writer in the battle o f Missionary Ridge had both legs cut o ff by a cannon ball, and w hik bleeding to death, urged his sorrowing comrades to kave him, as he could only die, and seek cover for themselves from the rain of frying bulkts. An unck saw hard service at ^Pittsburg Landing and other hard fought but disastrous bat tles during the early part of the w ar, was later discharged for disabilities and went to an un timely grave as a result o f the exposures o f the service. An other unde as a member o f Gen eral Benjamin Harrison’s regi ment, marched with Sherman to the sea and still lives, though past seventy years o f age and is a constant sufferer from a dis ease that comes as a result o f what he went through. The story might be continued but this is probably enough to show that for one who was too young tor the service himself, the record is probably at least as good as some others w ho do more talking. Some o f these things are sad to think o f to this day and yet there is a funny ride to the story that we can see no harm in enjoying. We have always gladly assist ed the old fellows, whenever pos- ribk to do so, in their efforts to obtain pensions from the govern ment and shall continnue to do so, but when there is an out- croping of excntricities they must allow us to smile. In closing, and in contradis tinction to the instances in the artick complained o f we will here note that an old Indiana friend o f ours w ho saw hard service in the army, some years ago when disease came on, applied tor and was granted a pension. At the expiration o f a term of years he entirely recovered, and being an exceedingly conscientious man he w rote the pension office that the grounds on which his pension w as granted had been removed by his recovery, and asked to have his name stricken from the roll, which was done. Of course brook on Saturday. M ay 12, for the purpose o f deciding on a plan tor financing a proposition for making permanent improve ments on the roads in thedis- triet. This is certainly a step in the right direction and the meet ing should be well attended. The crying need of the whole val< ley is for better roads and it is a question that must be worked out by the people. .
