Many men seek after popularity,
especially if they are political aspir
ants. But the true popularity is not
that which a man consciously strives
after, but that which comes to him
by virtue of his own character and
qualities of heart and mind.
Pension Commissioner John W. I
Lindsey finds, after careful figuring, I'
that there will be a decrease in the ■
pension rolls next year of approxi- !
mately 213 names. He has added!
914 4new names to the rolls for'.
1910, and as the result of experience H
estimates that the death rate will I;
be 6 3-4 per cent, which will mean a 1
total of 1,127 deaths during the year. 11
This will give an approximate total [ J
of 15,576 pensioners to be paid in j ■
1910, the pensions averaging $60.00 ,
each, or a total of $934,660. •
NOTICE. ;
All accounts are now due and if •
not paid at once will bo put out for ■
collection. —Pitts & Espy. I
