The old grave yard which was allll discernible the !u*t time I was there was culled the Whi-eler grave: ard, and the road that starta at the Summerville cemetery iand terminates at Murray Hill l» laid down on the map io this day as the Wheeler road.

Joe Wheeler first saw 'JOSEPH WIIEELKB. light. He showed me a place where a garden had been and evident tracas of a house, the remains of the chimneys and a large gate post still standing in a perfect state of preser vation. Years after this I chanced to meet Gen. Wheeler at the Aragon hotel, in Atlanta, accompanied by his two daughters, and recalled the incident. He replied that be had visited Augus ta a few years brfore, and with his friend. Col. Charles C. Jones, had at ; tempted to find the place, but- had failed.

Karly married a man by the name of Jones and moved to Alabama. A few years ago I chanced to meet in Tuscttmbla. which is In Gen. Wheel er’s district, a gentleman formerly from Green county, who inquired if I knew while Gov. Karly was buried, and on bring informed that, be was burled ou a plantation formerly owned 1. my grandfather, Dr. T. N. Poullain, ir.y recollection is that he suid that Gov. Karly was Mrs. Wheeler’s father. Mrs. Judge Montgomery rays it -s probably true, that Mrs. Wheeler was a Georgian by birth, and she thinks that she was related to Gov. Early, if not a direct descendant, but she can not corroborate it fully without re ferring to a book of the Wheeler fam ily which she possesses, but which «be cannot lay her hands on. She con firms the remainder of the story, as do other members of the family in every essential detail. HENRY P. MOORE. Wood for the Soldiers. rapt. Twiggs is hauling the wood for the soldieos.

Graham has ap proved all sites except this. For this reason the water supply to the-camp is temporary. The cavalry camp is also on the left hand side of th • Wrlghtsboro road, driving out, som distance further out than the hospital. On the left of/lie road just above the hospital site and some distance this side of the cavalry camp isth? site for the division headquarters. The (roughs for the horses are tem porarily arranged. The water supply is from ihe Summerville water works. Th' Summerville people supplied Wa ter to Capt. Twiggs during the con struction of the reservoirs. The sup ply pipe runs up to the big resorvolr.

It is quite close to and south of the resor volrs of the city water works, and ihe drive to and from the city Is u grand one. The corps headquarters site Is on Walton Way. west of the arsenal, almost at the junction of Highland avenue and Walton Way. opposite the Hhinizy lots. It s an Ideal site—one of the prettiest spots around Align a. l urknett Springs Water. The work at Turknett springs is progressing splendidly. The well lias been piled and excavation is well un,- der way. The engine and boiler, mounted on well driven plies, are get ting in position. There was a slight accident to it being jolted off tlie transportation vehicle, but It was not hurt, and the slight delay was immaterial. Quite a number of visi tors were otit yesterday afternoon to watch the; progress of the work. !he piping is at hand and Is bring gotten in position. The supply pipe from the springs to the Water works pipe runs into the iatiev some distance above the springs. There is quite a force of hands at work a: the springs. They are mak ing close connections on time, but ev erythieg will be in readiness by the time the troops begin coming in.
