Gossip at the Capitol and pension updates
Commissioner J W Lindsey received what is likely the last letter from the late General John Gordon just before his death in Florida. The letter concerns a roster commission meeting at the capitol, with Gordon unable to attend. Fulton County pensioners rushed the office for indigent pensions, state treasurer funds were disbursed, and teachers received two months of salary. A new militia district was created in Tattnall County, and various officer appointments were issued. A public health fake advertisement warning about mercury-containing catarrh remedies ends the jumble.
