The undersigned, as an ex-Confederate soldier, hereby applies for a pension under the provisions of an act of the General Assembly of the State of Arkansas, entitled "An act for the relief of certain soldiers of the late War between the States," approved April 1, 1891, upon the following grounds:
That he is a bona fide citizen of the State of Arkansas, and has resided within this State for more than twelve months next before the filing of this application;

That while in the discharge of his duty as a soldier of said company and regiment in the service of the State of Arkansas, or of the Confederate States of America, he received a wound, from the effects of which he received a wound in right leg about 6 or 8 inches below right knee which wound now almost wholly disables him from performing manual labor. That by reason of said wound and disability he is now indigent and incapacitated for manual labor; that he is not receiving any aid from this State or from the United States, for such injuries under any other statute, and that therefore he makes application for relief under the act aforesaid.
