The Georgia Troops Retained
Orders have been issued from the
war department, retaining the
Georgia troops in the service of the
government.
The two batteries of light artil¬
lery, A and B, have been sent to
Griffin to be mustered out.
The first, second and third Geor¬
gia regiments will he retained in

What does it mean ?
Can she contemplate a renewal of
the war with the United States?
The sudden change in the plan of
our government for mustering out
most of the volunteers, would
seem to indicate that the president
was suspicious of the Spanish move¬
ment, and was determined to be
prepared for any emergency.

The streams are higher than

are totally destroyed, or badly dam¬

The rains have been general,

are overflowing the low lands, and
doing great damage to crops,
bridges, and the railroads.

More Texas Estates
Awaiting Georgia Heirs.
Since publishing the list of Tex-!
as estates awaiting Georgia heirs,
in our issue of the 23d of August,
we have received from Messrs. Jas.
B. Goff & Son, of Austin, Texas,
another letter containing the fol¬
lowing additional list of persons
who left estates in Texas, ranging
from $1,000 to $20,000, which are
now awaiting the claims of the

went to Texas from Georgia, we
publish the list in the hope of find¬
ing some of the heirs.
Following is the letter:
Austin, Texas, Aug. 25, 1898.
Editor Covington Star.
Dear Sir —Referring to our let¬
ter, published in the Star, on 23d
of August, we would say that fur¬
ther investigation has unearthed
another batch of estates which
await claim of the unknown heirs
of the owners.
As these estates are each worth
from $1,000 to $20,000, and thous¬
ands of the soldiers of the Texas
revolution of 1836, and early Tex- l
as settlers, originally came from
Georgia, this item will be of inter¬
est to all Georgians whose ances¬
tors or other relatives came to Tex¬
as in early times.
The names of parties who ac¬
quired the lands follow:
John Harris, Mrs. M. Betalgio,
J. A. Foster, Wm. Bloodgood, Ju¬
lius Lecompte, James McCoy, Creed
T. Pendleton, E. J. Ridout, Janies

liam Grant, Fewis Dunning, Edwin
Blank, H. B. Balch, Gustiu Wen
derberg, Hardin Waldrop, Abraham
Willis, and Reuben Beebee.
Most of these lands were acquir¬
ed between the years of 1835-45.
The owners died or left the state,
and their heirs seem to have been
ignorant of their good fortune, as
the lands have never been claimed
and administrators have taken
charge, or “squatters” or “land
sharks” are in possession.
We will be pleased to give fur¬
ther information on request, and
also keep you posted as to any new
discoveries.
Sincerely yours,
James B. Goff & Son.

The Real Hero
The Army and Navy Journal has
discovered the real hero of the war.
u sa >' s : “ The absolute, real, un¬
doubted hero of this war is not Ad¬
miral Dewey,sinking all the Span¬
ish fleet at Manila, nor Hobson,
sinking a portion of the American
fleet at Santiago, nor Shafter driv¬
ing out the fleet of Cervera and cap¬
turing an army double that of his
own, nor Schley sending Cervera to
destruction, nor twenty others we
could name, but it is Ensign Cur
tain, landing at Ponce, and with in¬
imitable cheek sending his ultima
turn to the commander of the Span¬
ish forces at Ponce by telephone !
Of all the astonishing incidents of
this war nothing for novelty ap
proaches this, and Mr. Curtain
should go down in history as the
originator of the “hello” method
of reaching military results. The
illimitable gall of this youth de¬
serves to be crystalized in history.
Murat and Cannes, by their cap¬
ture tete du pont at Y’ienna, have
been handed down as the typical
Gascons, but Mr. Curtain has out
braved them all. This Journal,
which expects to chronicle the offi¬
cial reports of the battle of Arma¬
geddon, hardly hopes to record any¬
thing hereafter which, for pure im¬
pudence, will exceed this occur¬
rence. The only thing which
could rival it would be for another
ensign to send a district messen¬
ger boy to Sagasta with an ultima¬
tum to be answered in fifteen min¬
utes.”
