The Georgia Enterprise
  On Sunday last a Negro by the name of Hilliard Lee was drowned in Yellow 
River, on Judge W. S. Lee's plantation. Every effort was made by those present
to save the poor boy, but the water being deep it was an impossibility to do so.
The Negro was in bathing when the sad misfortune befell him. He remained dead
in the water about six hours before his body was recovered. He was a good Negro
and all the people in that section lament his death.
