TWAS A BRILLIANT SUCCESS.
The Military Rail- Given by Daugh-
tiers of the COnfederacy.

The military ball given by the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy at Guards Hall
last night was one of the distinct social
successes of the season. Incidentally it
was a very decided financial success, ami
considerable sum was added to the
treasury of the Daughters. to be devoted
to the good purposes to which they apply
their funds.
The spacious hall had been beautifully
decorated for the occasion. The orchestra
was hidden in one corner behind net
work of bamboo and other vines and vines
and greenery had been literally and taste
tuily used in the decoration of the walls
and ceiling. Instead of the are and SOM
bre air the hall is wont to wear, it seemed
last night to be a fitting frame for the
scene of beauty set within it,
supper was served in two of the COM
pany rooms downstairs between 10 O'Clock
ana midnight, quite informally. The sup
per was dainty one and not at all the
least enjoyable and enjoyed feature of
the occasion.
There were probably a hundred and
nifty couples on the floor and everybody
seemed to be enjoying himself or herself
immensely a number of members of the
Confederate Veterans Association, Nc
Laws Camp and other Confederate or

and they entered into the fun of the &C.
casion with all the zest and abandon OF
their own youthful days.

Major in the First.
The officers of the First Infantry viii
meet day after tomorrow night to NOM
mate field officers for the command. Lieut..
Col T. S. Wylly has already been nom
mated for the colonelcy and Capt. NG A.
Gordon of the Oglethrope Light Infantry
for the lieutenant colonelcy. The formal
election will be held on Jan. IL. ~.
The regiment will require two new mar
jors. Capt. C. H. Richardson, commits
sary. of the regiment, has told two or
three of his friends that he would not ac-
cept the majority that was rendered him
upon the nomination he received from the
out-of-town companies comprising what
is now the Third Battalion. Maj. W. L.
Grayson is in command of the First Bat
talon, and Capt. Henry Kolshorn, for
merly captain of the German Volunteers,
is spoken of as a possibility for another.
Capt. Kolshorn is an excellent military
man, and the officers who have been heard
to express themselves as to his succession
show eagerness to have him.
1t is improbable that any well-defined
plan as to the succession to the vacant
majorities will have been decided upon
before the meeting. The nominations will
he made upon the judgment of the Off
GERS as it is then expressed. Captains
now in command of the companies of
the First Battalion seem not to care for
the honor or to feel that they should re-
main with their companies Capt. ]. T.
West of the Savannah Cadets and Capt.
c. Fl. Konemann of the German Volun-
teers have both been favorably spoken
Of but both have expressed their desire
to remain with their commands. Capt.
p F. Gleason of the Irish Jasper Greens
might have had the majority a year or
so ago. but declined because he preferred
to be with the Greens. The same reason
prompts him to decline to consider the
question when it is now suggested to him.

RAIN SAVED THE FOXES.
Chatham Hunt Club Meet Postponed
Until Friday.


Owing to inclemency of the weather
yesterday the Chatham Hunt Club post
poned it's meet until Friday. Twenty
hunters met at Wheelman's Park early
in the morning ready to go, and five
others waited in town, but the downpour
prevented riding until it was too late for
the hounds to find, and the chase was
abandoned
The party returned by Dale avenue and
stopped at the kennel on Forty-second
street where the dogs were comfortab by
housed. Work on the house and grounds
OF the club has just been completed. The
site is ideal 1t provides for over twenty
dogs. The building on the grounds is con-
structed so as to provide on the ground
floor stalls for fifteen horses and several
large ventilated rooms for the hounds
on the second floor IS the keepers room
and hall in which riders may meet after
a chase.
1t is the purpose Of the club to improve
the grounds and building from time 70

ELIGIBLE SITE WAS SOLD.
Property at York and Whitaker
Street Brought $4,000.


Those who have real estate and other
property that they wish to dispose of at
public outcry evidently realized that yes
day, being New Years day. was not just
the time to offer it. It was the legal day
for public sales, but very little property,
comparatively, was placed on the market
before the door of the Court House.
One of the sales, however, was of more
than usual interest This was the sale of
the property at the southwest corner of
Whitaker and York streets, upon which
stone cutting establishment is now To-
Gated The sale was conducted by Mr.. c.
H. Dorsett, auctioneer, on. behalf of the
| executor of the estate of the late Henry
G. Cutter.
The facts of the sale show that eligible
sites in this city may well be considered
gilt-edged investments. The lot is sixty
by ninety feet and has no improvements
upon it. 1t was only after quite lively
and spirited bidding that it was knocked
down to Capt. H C. Cunningham for
| 49, 600.
Mr.. Cutter was a citizen of Macon, but
the property that was sold had been
owned by his family for more than n
hundred years. The houses that once
stood on it were destroyed in the great
fire of some years ego.
Sheriff Sweeny sold seven lots of land
OF small dimensions, located southwest Of
the city and levied on as the property of
Louis Collat, under execution from the
Superior Court, for $3.50 each. The prop
erty was bought in by Mr.. James w. Nc
| Intyre
Mr.. l. d. LaRoche sold a mass of ac-
counts. promissory notes, judgments and
| executions, belonging to the estate Of
the late p H. Ward and amounting in
face value to $9,SS2.s3, to Mr.. G. Noble
Jones, who bought them in for $3.50 It
| is probable, of course that a great num-
Der of the claims are absolutely worthless.
but dtscounting values even on the most
liberal basis, it is certain that Mr. Jones
has made an exceedingly good investment.
The sale of these accounts and other
claims closed the public sales for the day.
