little above the eastern horizon and a
slight shower passed by causing a perfect
bow, reflected partly from the larger Ken>
nesaw mountain and reaching to the hori>
zon in the south west At first it was a
distinct band of misty light the width 0!
an ordinary rainbow Later it changed to
apinkish color and there appeared sec>
ond fainter arch OF light above it, which
was unbroken from horizon to horizon.
The separate prismatic colors were not
distinguishable to the naked eye, but the
purplish pink shades were delicate and
beautiful indeed. 1t remained and pre-
sented its marvellous and changing beauty
Tor about fifteen minutes and gradually
faded away as the shower passed by.
Mr. Bright G. Moore, OF Milton county,
came to Marietta and sold his cotton and
started home on Wednesday morning of
last week, going out Canton and Cumming
road. Near Mrs. Timothy Stephens, as
he was driving along, he pulled out his
large leather pocket and counted his mon
ey he had received for his cotton He had
one hundred dollars, ali in ten dollar bills.
He put his pocketbook back in to his peck
ct and when he got near Sandy Plains he
felt Tor it and it was gone. 1t was not in
his wagon, and he walked back to Mariet>
ia making enquiry of every person he met
but no one had found it and neither did he.
Mr.. Moore is poor man and it is great
loss to him. The finder will be rewarded
by leaving the same at this office.

Mr.. James Barmore, who lives on Ros>
we'll street, in that part of our town known
as Olinv;lle, was visited by a thief last
week aid robbed of $l75OO. He is a
young man and for several years has been
working for the Brumby Chair Factory.
From his hard earnings he had saved the
above amount which he had locked up in
a drawer at home. When he went home
| l,a L
broken the fastening and carried off his
sack ct money, consisting of gold, sill
yer and greenbacks. We trust some clue
will yet disclose the guilty parties. To
roo hard working, poor young man OIL
his savings is an outrage that ought to be
swiftly punished.
