It may be that City Clerk and Treae
nrer W. W. Turner and other members
of his family have inherited an interest
in a Texas estate valued at half a mil
lion dollars.
The inheritance, if it prove to be the
fact, will come through the mat rnal
side of Mr. Tamer’s family.
It seems that an estate valned at half
a million dollars has been awaiting the
1 | people claimants and that Mrs. Preston,
s j of Walton county, is one of the heirs.
l| Mrs Preston has engaged Col. George,
of Madison, as her attorney and he has
- one to Texas to represent her interests
there. It is stated that there is no doubt
abont her being entitled to a share in
the estate.
Mrs. Preston aud Mr. Turner’s mother
were sisters and if she succeeds in estab
lishing her right to share in the estate,
an equal r.ght will rest in the children
of her brothers and sisters, who have
pished away.
Mr. Tamer has employed Shackelford
& Snackelford to represent him in the
in liter aud Ool F. O. Shackelford will
go to Texas in a few days to look into
the case thoroughly.
