~ oN"OJi NAS lClA vi last IuOuLn, the
residence of Hon. B Rainey, near Acs
worth, was broken into and coat, vest,
pair of shoes, pistol and gold watch chain
were stolen. Recently it was said that
Lewis Van was seen wearing Mr.. Rainey' S
coat Constable j. M Anderson notified
Mr.. Ralney, warrant vas sworn out, and
he went to Vans house. about four miles
from Acworth, and arrested Luke and
Lewis Van, brothers. In Lewis Vans pos :
session were found the watch chain. vest
and coat. The Van boys were carried be-
lore Justice Stokely at Acworth, and the
evidence was considered sufficient to bind
them over in $3.50 bond each, failing to
give which, they were brought to Marietta
Tuesday and plac ed in Jail. They are
both able>bodied young white men. They
say they traded for the stolen goods, but
they do not substantiate- their assertion.
Mr. j. WHEELER DoBBs and wife were
out gathering hickory nuts, on their farm
the other day, on the old MONDAY battles
field, and Mrs. Dobbs found A calibre,
cap and ball pistol. Every chamber was
loaded and capped. The handle was part
ly decayed, but otherwise It was in fair
condition. Near by is an unknown grave.
This pistol had been there probably 81
years, and the unknown soldier, killed in
battle, may have been its owner. These
old war relics now and then are resurrected
and speak eloquently of the times that
tried mems souls.
