'Die state of Georgia is doing a
noble deed in pensioning the
maimed and disabled confederate
veterans within her borders, but
there is yet a number of these gal
lant and patriotic survivors of the
lost ca rise that have never received
any compensation for their serv
ices, as the restrictions in force
with the present pension laws, pr< »
hi bits them from being includ< d,
and while they cannot legally
participate in this noble and gen
erous act of Georgia’s devotion to
her grand old battle scarred vetor
-uns, we feel confident that we
speak the sentiments of the whole
people, when wo say that the time
has arrived when all the old sol
diers are, and should be eligible to
obtain a pension from the state.
The old veterans of the civil war
are fast nearing the last mile post
of life s journey and old ago has
overtaken them to such an extent
that a largo majority of them are
unable to do manual labor and ac
cording to natvfre the time is not
far distant when they will answer
the last final roll call of eaitli's
battles.
In behalf of the old veterans of
Henry county, we suggest that the
people of onr county ask our rep
resentative in the legislature to
use all means'in his power to have
laws enacted placing every old
veteran in the state on the pension
roll. These old veterans answered
tile call of the state in the early
>o’s, bid good bye to home and
loved ones and four long years suf
fered the hardships of war. They
icsei vb tc be noticed, and Geor
gia could not do a more noble
2cca xztz to help tLiTc. iz their lajj
lays on earth. Let the people of
I*nry county be first to act in this
milter, and help to make the dy
tog pillows cf these battle scarred
vUtians be mcie sett and peace
ful. Lei the people of Georgia
