From Monday’s Herald.
A Mr. Mills aud wife, of K n'noky,
spent the last few days in the cuv. Mr.
Mills having corns here to locate a
plantation which he claims to own, and
the rights of ownership to which he
has won in suits in the Federal courts
which have been pending for several
years past.
The plantation which Mr. Mills claims
is part of the Fowl Town plantation,
which is iu the possession of Mrs. Lee
Jordan, of Macon, tho titles to which
have been undisputed, so far as any one
here has known.
Mr. Mills, who was a resident of
Southwest Georgia back in the [sixties,
says that his grandfather, whose name
was Huntington, bought 1,000 acres of
land at the executor's sale of the Joe
Bond estate In '50, and that he left this
property entailed to his children. He
says that his father sold this land illegal
ly, and that at his mother's death, seven
years ago, he instituted suit for the
property iu the United States District
Court of Kentucky. Afterwards he
brought suit in the United States Dis
trict Court in Georgia, and. the case
finally got into the. Supreme Court of
the United States. Iu every suit he
says he won, and now he claims 1,000
acres of the Fowl Town plantation.
Mr. Mills drove out to the plantation
yesterday and located definitely the
land he claims aud upon which he
says he conducted a farm up to '07,
when he moved to Kentucky. Today
he loft for Macon, where he will meet a
United StateR marshal who will return
here tomorrow or next day and levy on
1000 acres of the Fowl Town plantation
by the authority of the Supreme Court
of the United States.
WOULD REWARD A KINDNESS.
When Mr. Mills came to the city he
looked up Mr. H Y Ferrel! and spent the
time while he was in the city at his
home on State street. Mr. Mills was
severely wounded while in the Confed
erate army and he laid almost forsaken
in the hospital, no one believing that
any attention would do him any good.
Mr. Ferrell nursed him and gave him
what attention ho could.
In return for this kindness, which
Mr. Mills has never forgotten, he now
wishes to reward Mr. Ferrell by present
ing him with a nice house and lot. He
has beeu negotiating with Mr. S. J. W.
Livingston for tho purchase of his lot
and half-burned house, which he pro
poses to rebuild and make comfortable
for liis old benefactor.
Mr. IMills' appearance a« a claimant
for 1,000 acres of the Fowl Town plan
tation bus caused some excitement in
the city today, and the outcome of what
appears to he a queer [case will be
watched with interest.

Herald.
Mrs. J. S. Davis and children re
turned today from Onthbert where they
have been visiting relatives for several
weeks past.
Rev. Olias. T. Wright, rector of St.
Paul’s church, and family, who are
spending a month at Clarkesville, are
expected to return home this week.
From Monday’s Daily Herald.
The Herald stated several days ago
that the figure which is to adorn the
Confederate monument had arrived but
would not be pat in position until some
of the absent officials of the Ladies’ Me
morial Association returned and In
structed Mr. Miller to go ahead with the
work.
Mrs. W L. Davis, treasurer of the As
sociation, has returned to the city from
a visit to Atlanta, and Mr. Miller waited
upon her to learn her pleasure about
when the figure should be put iu place.
Mrs. Davis instructed Mr. Miller to
place the figure and complete the monu
ment as soon as convenient and to veil
the monnment. As soon as the other
absent officials of the association return
they will determine upon a time for the
unveiling exeroises.
Consequently Mr. Miller went to
work today to place the figure upon the
marble pedestal which has been stand
ing at the intersection of Pine and Jack-
son streets for several months, and soon
the Confederate monument will staud
complete, a joy to the veterans aud a
pride to the city,
It is no easy task to place a marble
figure upon a pedestal about twelve feet
in height. Indeed, it is a most difficult
and delicate job. The figure with its
boxing, which could not be safely re
moved before the statue stood on the
monument, weighs about. 1,700 pounds.
It is carved from the most delicate Ital
ian marble, so that a slight jar would
break some of the small parts of the
figure.
Mr. Miller is exercising the utmost
care in raising and placing this marble
soldier. A strong derrick was used to
raise the figure to a platiorm about eight
feet thigh, and from this platform it is
to be eased on skids up on the monn
ment. When the figure is ou the mon
ument it will be unboxed and perma
nently set.
The inouument wifi be veiled with a
heavy cloth to protect it from the public
gaze until the unveiling exercises,which
will be held ns soon as practicable.
The work of hoisting and placing the
figure is attracting much attention from
the passers-by and many stop to watch
the skillful manner in which Mr Miller
is executing his difficult task.

Peculiar Fate of a Negro Boy on the Lockett
Plantation.
From Monday's Dally Hf-r.ild.
"Bobber” Dl.-oti, a fourteen-year-old
negro boy, was drowned ou the Lockett
place, six miles west of Albany, some
time Saturday aiternoon. There were
no witnesses to the fatal accident, and
the exact hour at whion it occurred is
not known.
Disaon’s parents came to the city dur
ing the latter part of the morning to do
same trading, and told the boy that he
might go fishing during their absence.
When they returned home late In the
afternoon the, boy was not at tho house,
ana his continued absence alarmed
them A searching party was organized
and proceeded to the fish pond, where
the hoy's dead body was found after a
short search. It lay in water not over
two feet deei. It is probable that while
fishing the young darky was seized with
a fit and lost consciousness, falling into
the water and drowning because no one
was near to draw him to the bank.
A coroner’s jury was organized in Al
bany yesterday morning and proceeded
to the Lockett place, whore an inquest
was held, a verdict in accordance with
the above facts being returned.

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed yon have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, nnd when it i*> en-
tirjly closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation enn be taken

Is the Remarkable Record Por August Up to
Date.
From Monday’s Daily Herald.
Nearly nine inches of rain has fallen
in Albanv since the first of August, and
the end is not yot iu fight, to all ap
pearances.
On the first day of the month moro
than an inch was recorded at the water
works station, where Engineer O. W.
Tift keeps the only official record in thtB
section of the state, and rain has fallen
on elovon other days since. The great
est record for any twenty-four hours
was showu on Saturday, when 2:110
inches fell in the afternoon within little
more t.lmu an hoqr's time.
This is a phonomouul record for
August, which is usually one of our dry-
cst mouths. Judging from uppenrances
and from the forecasts of the weather
bureau, fair weather is not yet in Right,
and wheu the mouth finally closes the
•ecord may be even more phenomenal.
It is feared that the depositing in the
curth at this seasou of so mnch moisture
will cause a good deal of sickness in
September, and the return of fair weath

The article iu The Ledger yesterday
afternoon calling attention to the fact
that very few old men are now living
who had sons in the civil war, attracted
a good deal of attention and interest.
This morning several citizens called
attention to the fact that Ool. William
G. Woolfolk had a son in the Confeder
ate army, both father and son still sur
viving. The son is Mr. T. N. Woolfolk
a prominent citizen of Albany, Ga. Ool.
Woolfolk is in his 79fch year. There are
quite a number of older men iu the city,
hut, so far as is recalled, nono of them
had sons in the Confederate army. Ou
the Alabama side, however, readers of
The Ledger have recalled the names of
several old men who had sons in the
Confederate service.
