CLAIMS He OWNS TWO TOWNS
PhiIadelphian Has Deeds Giving Him
Title to GAINESVILLE and Canaan,
in Heard County.

ATLANTA.-A startling story
comes today from Heard county to
the effect that a claim has been filed
there for some 1000 acres of land
bv Samuel Dunlap of Philadelphia.
1t is stated that the towns OF
GAINESVILLE and Canaan are embrac-
ed in the claim of the Philadelphia
and the people are greatly disturbed.
1t appears that the property was
decided to John Blanton, of Augusta,
back in 1859, and that his deeds
passed from his hands to those OF
family named Mckee in Philadel-
phia, who was an ancestor of the
present claimant.
1t is understood that the deeds to
the property are pretty clear, and
that Mr.. Dunlap will press his claim
vigorously. The present holders of
the vast tract claimed are greatly
disturbed, and are preparing to fight
the new claimant.

able for the stand that they took

A Fish Out of Mater.

Many people think that fish when
taken out of the water die because air
has a fatal effect on them. The real
reason, however, is that their delicate
gill filamentS or membranes become
dry and stick together, so that no air
can pass between them. Thus they
lose the power to imbibe necessary
oxygen, and the circulation Of their
blood stops. The painful gasping Of a
fish out of water is natures effort to
free the passage through the fla
mentS
