There Is considerable excitement in Oconee
county over the disappearance Of twenty
| eight true bills from the court house. ne
indictments were found by the last era d
/ jury. They were stolen from the clerk $
| office, but by whom no one can tell. The
thief is undoubtedly interested in some OF
| these indictments, and imagined that by
stealing the papers it would put an end 70
| all prosecution. But he is mistaken, for the
court records are still in existence, and IL
will be an easy mater to have new papers
made out. Ii is thought that during the
| absence Of the clerk some one entered his
/ office, or stole the keys from him. The
whole matter IS enshrouded in mystery One
/ thing is certain-the taxpayers Of Oconee
I county will demand that hereafter a closer
/ guard be kept over their official records.
