COVINGTON, GA. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1905.
PENSION DAY^v -UARY 21.
Day Set For the Payment of Pen
s«on$ in Newton County.
February 21st is the day get
aparr for the payment of ail |en
sions in Newton county. There
are in all 147 in the county who
will b« made to feel richer and
better on that date
The fact that this day is th^ last
day for the payment of pensions,
has not added to the popularity of
Commissioner of Pensions, Jno.
W. Lindsay, among the veterans
of this county Most of the veter¬
ans have criticised his action in
delaying the payment until every
otm*r county had been paid. F<>r
instance, Fulton will be paid first,
and as Fulton is in the same con¬
gressional district with Newton
there should not be many days in¬
tervening.
