GRANT OF GEORGE III
HELD BY SAVANNAHIAN

Mr.. w. G. Brewer has, within the
last few days, secured, through pur-
chase, his paternal homestead of SIS
acres situated near oliver, in Effing-
ham county. The property has had an
interesting history, as is shown by the
deed of grant and the various deeds
of transfer, from time to time, all of
which are now in possession of the
present owner.
The original grant, made in 1867, was
to John Goldwire by George III, who
signs himself by the grace of God,
of Great Britain, France and Ireland,
King, defender of the Faith, and so
forth" This grant was for 100 acres,
the nucleus of the present estate, and
the gift was made with the provision
that for every fifty acres of PLANT
able" land three should be cleared and
worked, or three acres of swamp or
marsh land be drained.
Should any part of the land be ac-
counted barren the owner was charged
to pasture on it three neat cattle.
or six sheep or six goats, while should
the land be stony and fit for neither
planting nor pasture one able hand
was to be employed, in working such
stone quarry or coal or other mine as
the grant might contain.

PLANS OF CONVENTION
GO SMOOTHLY FORWARD.

The interest in the meeting of the
Southern Baptist Convention grows as
the date approaches. and Rev. DR.. j.
d. Jordan, even with the aid of a
stenographer, is kept busy answering
requests for information that come
from all parts of the country.
The number of these communications
and other and significant indications
point to the maximum figure of the
estimated attendance, $500. Homes for
at least 1900 of these have already been
arranged for. and now that a meeting
place has been secured through per-
mission from the military and the city
to erect the tabernacle in the Park Ex-
tension, the remainder of the work to
be done from now until the opening
of the convention is that of arranging
programmes for the various sessions,
giving out information asked for, and
securing the money needed to defray
the incidental expenses of the meeting
The amount needed, as has been
stated before, is between $500 and $780,
Rev. DR.. Jordan has no doubt that this
will be secured without trouble; in
fact, he has already received some sub
stantial donations toward the sum, and
doubtless will have received the total
amount long before the date of the con-
vention.

John Goldwire was one of three sons
of well TODD Englishman. John and
one brother came to the colony of
Georgia, while the third, the eldest, re-
manned in England and became quite
wealthy. He died and his property is
still in the Court of Chancery, as the
American heirs have so far been I'M
able to establish their right to it.
John Goldwire, too, became pros
porous and honored. He was an in
innate friend of President Madison, so
it is stated, and on more than one oc-
casion entertained the President in his
home near Oliver. Many of his de-
scendents are still residents of Effiug-
ham county and though the property
passed from their possession through
a sale of it by the original owner to
Thomas Brewer, yet by a strange fate
1t is again owned in part by one of
the Goldwire family in the person of
Mrs. w. G. Brewer, who is a grand
daughter of the first possessor.
Thomas Brewer was the grand
father of Mr.. w. G. Brewer. The es-
tate during his ownership was enlarged
to its present size and upon his death
passed to the possession of his several
sons. One of these G. w. Brewer, the
father of the present owner. bought out
the interest of the other heirs but upon
MS death the property was again
divided until within the last few days
when Mr.. w. G. Brewer secured the
holdings of the other heirs.
