THEYDRAW PENSIONS
Names of Those on the Lists
in Gwinnett.
$12,850 PAID OUT IN COUNTY
Georgia Honors Those Who Bore Arms
in Her Defense by Aiding
Maimed and Indigent.
Below are given the names of
those who are entitled to pensions
in Gwinnett county Most of the
parties have already drawn their
pensions, only a few being left
unpaid. These will receive their
checks whenever they apply for
same. Judge Webb has been busy
for a month or so filling out
claims and getting everything in
shape for the payment of all
moneys authorized by law. The
judge is not yet through, for the
law passed by the last general as
sembly w ill take in another class
of pensioners and all these claims
must be filled out and passed
upon. This imposes an immense
amount of work upon the ordinary
for which he does not receive a
cent. He does the work gratis,
but it seems to us that the ordi
nary ought to be recompensed for
this work.
These pensioners get all the way
from $5 to $l5O, according to the
loss suffered. For instance, a con
federate soldier totally blind from
the effects of the war gets $l5O.
The loss of a leg or arm entitles
him to SIOO. A wound in arm or
leg assures him of SSO. The loss
of one eye is valued at SBO and
missing fingers or toes being $5
each.

Mrs. Newton's Lecture.
Mrs. Mary Newton, of Virginia,
delivered two lectures in Law
renceville this week, one at the
Baptist church on Tuesday night
and another at the Methodist
church on Wednesday night.
She told of the good work the
Woman’s Christian Temperance
Union is doing, saying there were
forty different branches of the
work. She organized a local un
ion here and complimented the
people of Lawrenceville by telling
them she had the largest audiences
here of any place she had visited
in Georgia.
Mrs. Newton was intensely in
earnest and those who heard her
were well pleased with the lectures

A local order of the Woman’s

been organized with Mrs. Dr. Winn
as president. This is a direct re

of the union. Quite a number of
the good women of the town have
joined the organization and others
will no doubt become members.
This is a good move and we sin
cerely hope that the local order
will meet with popular favor.
