gentleman on d. A. Burch's place in
the upper edge of Dodge county. since read
ing the life and his history of the noted
outlaw John A. Murrell, has decided that
there is big pile of money buried some
where on the place. He claimed that MUIR
rells headquarters were somewhere in that
neighborhood, aud from the fact that light
ming has struck one single walnut tree three
time without killing it, that it is a sure
sign the money is there. He is said to be
making dilligent search for the hidden
treasure

court has flied his answer to Judge A. D.

which Judge Eve filed by appointing Wal
ter r. Clark to the Office for the unexpired
term. Judge Picquet claimed Judge Eve
went beyond the bounds of his power in
making the appointment for a full term
Judge Ewes answer is that he was unable

Rome Tribune: Most people here will re-
member Mr.. w. T. Robinson, aud the fol-
lowing interesting item from the
Murfreesboro Bonner will be read with
interest: Mr.. W. I. Robinson OF this city
is in luck. This month he discovered in
Stones river two very fine pearls, both on
the same day. He forwarded them to
Tiffany & Co., the New York jewellers, and
this week be received a check for 1920.
There is no telling the real value of the
pearls, which were gotten from mussels
mounted the present owners will sell them
at good profit One was rated at $500,
the other at $40. This IL SO far the highest
priced pearl ever discovered in Rutherford
county.
The oar at the entrance to Brunswick il
to be blown up with dynamite in a few
days. The contract has been made and the
contractor is expected 70 arrive here on ii q
next Mallory steamer. The plan has been
submitted to Capt. o. M. Carter and that
gentleman has decided that it is entirely
practicable. The matter has been in charge
of a committee from the board Of trade. All
arrangements have been made, and ali that
is necessary now for beginning the work is
the arrival Of the material and
the man to use them. That por-
ton OF the bar where the explosives
will be placed is only a few hum
dred feet 10 width, and but little trouble is
anticipated in working q channel across so
marrow shoal. Divers will be sent down
with the dynamite cartridges, who will
place them in the desired position and sink
them to the necessary depth in the sand
During strong ebb tide the explosions W i'll
be confined to the outer side of the bar. SO
that the sand, when loosened from its com
pact state at Chattanooga, will be washed
out into deep water by the force Of the out
going tide. When the food tide sets in the
work will be removed to the inner side of
the bar, and the sand on that side blown uu
20 that IL can be washed into deep water in
the sound.
