'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.
