Maimed Cofederate Sol
diers.
Exkcittivx Dbpartmext,
Atlanta. Qa.. Nqv46, 1887.
Dear Sir:—*In answer to the
numerous inquiries about the
recent Act of the Legislature,
granting allowance to ^maimed
ex-Confederate soldiers, I have,
in the following statement un
dertaken Ho give the main fea
tures of the law, and hope to
anticipate the questions which
may be made in relation to the
construcfion given the Act.
1, For the first time the Act
provides for payment to such
disabled soldier# as did not have
a limb or limbs amputated.
For. an arm or leg permanently
injured from wounds, whereby
either is reuderqd “substantial-
officer who was in service with
him or by three citizens who
know of the facts. Also furnish
the testimony of two reputable
physicians sustaining his claim
and establishing his right to the
allowance under the law.
4 One-armed and one-legged
men who were paid in 1886 or
1887 for the third period, under
the old law cannot be paid
again until after September 26,
1889. The first payment made
in 1879 and 1880 were for five
ears; but in 1883 the period
was shortened to three yoars,
and the second payments were
made for the period from Sept
ember 26, 1883, to September
26, 1886. The third payments
were made for the period from
1886 to 1989. Hence, all who
drew the third payment prior
to the.approval of the last Act
cauuot under the new Act until
September 26, 1889, having
been paid to that date,
5. One-armed and one-legged
men who were in this State Oc
tober 26, 1886, and now resided
herein and who have not drawn
the third payment, can be paid
the annual allowances mention
ed, for the loss of an arm or leg,
Q. The law’ only provides for
the present and future and does
not allow payments for the past.
7. The Ordinaries of the
several counties will aid appli
cants, see that the blanks are
properly filled our and for
warded,
8. Applicant? need not em
ploy attorneys to collect what is
due them under the law
Every facility will be given and
full information furnished upon
application to the Ordinary of
your county or direct to the Ex
ecutive Department.
Very respectfully,

cross. The adoption of the
free school bill (we anticipate
its ratification! will give the
town an upward impetus that
no other action of her people
cau overleap. Now, there is
some attraction here that must
claim the attention of every
person who may have children
to educate, and while this place
will become an educational cen
ter, homehunters, builders, la
borers and others will be at
tracted by the advantages here
afforded. With o*ur chuches,
matchless climate, railroad fa
cilities, etc., the town’s future
is exceedingly bright.
The Mayor and Council se
lected will receive the hearty
support of our people, because
they are gentlemen of known
integrity and unquestioned
honor. With such an array of
ability our town and people
cannot be otherwise than pros
perous and happy.
Let them be elected, and
when declared officers of town
let no man speak evil of their
actions until the motive which
prompts them is understood,
and we believe a year with
fruitful results is calendared
for 1888.
Don’t Experiment.
You cannot afford to wasto
time in experimenting when
your lungs are in danger. Con
sumption always seems, at first,
only a cold. Do not permit any
dealer to impose upon upon you
with some cheap imitation of
Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and
Colds, but bo suro you get the

more profit he may tell you he

Stepped off the Trestle.
Messrs John. Branch and Elbert
Fletcher, two prominent citizens
of Irwin county, were passengers
on the regular passenger train
that came in on the B, & W, rail
road at 4:30 Friday morning, and
made a mistake which resulted in
painful injuries to both.
As every one who is acquainted
with the location of the depot
Itnows, the river trestle of the B,
<fe W. road extends to where that
road orcsses the S, F, & W.
road. At this crossing place all
trains are required to come to a full
stop before proceeding to cross.
When the train on the B. & W.
road makes this stop it is on a
trestle ranging from seven to six
teen feet from the ground. When
the stop vas made, Messrs, Branch
and Fletcher thought that the “Y”
had been reached, and that the
stop was made preparatory to run
ning back to the union passenger
depot. Thinking they would save
time and a considerable walk,
they hurried out of the car into
the darkness and stepped off at a
point where the trestle was about
twelve feet high.
jloth gentlemen were badly hurt,
Mr. Branch having his collar bone
broken and his hips bruised, and
Mr. Fletcher snstaining . painful
injuries in the hips.
They were taken in the omnibus
to the Aftestaq House, and received
medical attention from Dr. P. L.
