A recent issue of tho Atlanta Const! tution states that the Dismuke family, of which there are many representatives in Georgia, are heirs toa 30-acre tract of land in the heart of Baltimore valued at 88,000,000 or more. While there are a great many 'Dismukos in the South, yet tho amount to be divided is so large that if the claim is made good each heir will receive a considerable stun, not* witstanding tiie long division. According to a letter from Baltimore to William M. Dismukos, of Nashville, Tenn., proprie'or of the Maxwell House of that city, "the late fire at Baltimore has developed that 20 acres of the burned district belonging to one George R. Dia* makes, which was leasod to the city of Baltimore for ninety-nine years. The lease recently expired developed tho fact that we are hoirs in said property. There was a letter written from the law firm to me from Baltimore, representing the city's interests, to tho effect that the proporty could not be sold unless they have tho uames of all the Dismukos heirs. Thoy made an offer for a clear title of 88,000,000." If there is any truth in the above story Mr. F. D, Dismuke of tills city will get a slice of the eight milliou. His many Thomasville friends hopo that the glittering possibility may prove a glow ing reality and that he may receive a pot of money." TROUBLE IN COREA.
