ROMANTIC, BUT SAD.
A Demen:ed Old Soldier Separated From
His Family for Generation.

WAsnNGroN Sept. u.-One Of the most
remarkable and pathetic cases that has ever
been brought to the attention Of the bureau
OF pensions is that OF William Newly, a
private in Company ID, Fortieth regiment
Illinois volunteers.
This regiment was commanded by the
heroic Col. Stephen c. Hicks of Illinois
and was conspicuous for its gallantry at
the battle of Shiloh. Newly was in this
battle on April g. 1862, and was reported
killed. Instead Of being killed, however,
he received a severe wound on the head.
and was captured and sent to
the rear by the Confederate forces.
imprisoned at Belle Isle and ater-
wards transferred to Andersonvile
Newly WAS released in course OF time and
was i'll pO0rhOuscs in various parts Of the
South. He was finally taken to Key West,
Fla, by "A gentleman who recognized New
by rs Il kinsman. He here remained until
1862 when his uncle died. Newly wan
dercd from place to place, and finally
turned up at Shreveport, La. While there
the co!orcd people made up purse and he
was gwen passage on steam boat to Cncin-
natl. On the way up the river the steam
boat landed at ShawneetOwn. III. Newly
hearing this name called out seemed to
recognize something that was familiar, and
got off the boat. From here he wandered
to Kankakee, ILL.,, where he was in the
poOrhouBe Tor time. Leaving this place
he struck OutsOuthward and at last reached
cansbOrOugh,i in Hamilton county, ILL.,,
and was sent to the pOOrhOusc.
During these years he was in demented
state bordering upon insanity as the sup
posed result OF the wound in the head. In
wandering about he finally went over into
White county, and when he got near his
old home was seen and recognized by two
OF his comrades who had served in the regi-
ment with him. His wife was sent Tor and
she identified him, as did his relatives and
many OF his friends and comrades
After Newly was reported as killed in
action and his vile applied for a pension
and it was granted, and she has been draw
ing widows pension rom the date OF his
reported death to the present time This
soldier has filed claim for a pension, the
claim OF the widow being suspended in the
meantime. No discharge has ever been
granted to he soldier and the considera-
ton Of the pension claim is being post
pUncd until such time as the secretary of
war shall grant the man a discharge.
This soldier has been separated from his
family tor twenty-nine years. they believ-
ing all the while that he was dead and
now he turns up a lOrlorn, dcmented old
man.
His case has attracted great attention in
the southern part of Illinois, and has ex-
cited the svmathy of all who have become
acquainted with it. He recently attended
large reunion of old veterans of his coun-
tv where the subject was universally dis
CuSSCd. The pension will no doubt soon be
granted and he will receive q sufficient
sum to smooth his way to the end of his
life.

pronounced the disease CHAMBERS.

Several of DR.. Farnum's horses have
showed symptoms of the disease, and
these, with one horse belonging to Car

swamp west of the city, stable having
been built there for that purpose.
Sunday Mayor Cheatham telegraphed
to the authorities in Atlanta the infor-

the CHAMBERS here, and asked that an in

Terrell county is in remarkably
healthy condition financially, as is shown
by figures compiled by Hon. J. w. Rob
erts, the countys very efficient Ordina-
ry.
The county is out of debt, and has to
its credit assets to the amount of
$24, 253.55, divided into the following
| items:
County farm of 300 acres, 81 900; city
lots in Dawson, $4,000; bankable notes
bearing per cent. interest, S4,134, City
lots to be sold, SO, 600; cash on hand from
sale of city lots, $2,O66.6S cash on hand
from taxes of 1890, s3,O5297; cash in
hands of tax collector, $4,000, making
the total as given above 1924, 253.55.
This shows how carefully the finances
of the county have been managed, and is
very creditable to the boaId of county
commissioners.

increase for any single year was in 1890,
the taxable property that year increasing
