suddenly on last Friday night about
10 30 o'clock, at the residence of his
brother, Mr. G. T. Carnes, of heart
failure. Mr.. Carnes was olt on the
streets during the day, and while not
feeling we'll, yet there was no appre-
hension that deaths wings were over
shadowing him. He passed away peace
fully. He was in the 73rd year of his
age. His wife had departed this life
some months ago. He leaves no chill
dren. His funeral took place Sunday
morning at 8 O'Clock at the residence
of Mr.. Tolbert ,Carnes, Rev. J. 7. Jen-
,kins and Rev. J. w. Quillian officiating,
after which the remains were placed at
rest in the city cemetery. We tender
our sympathy to the bereayed relatives.
A lineman here Friday morning ask
ed one of our citizens if he ever heard
of there being two millions of dollars
in gold and silver buried near the
w. & A. Railroad at the Chattahooche
river, by the Confederates, during the
war. II never did" replied the citizen.
"Well," said the lineman, II saw ada
gram of the location, last night and
the owner was offered $25 dollars for it
and he wouldn't take it. Parties, it is
said, have been digging there off and
on for the past thirty years, hunting
for that gold" This was news to our
Marietta citizens, and soon as this Klon-
dixie treasure is found, we hope the
finder will divide with us.
Emma Alexander, colored, has been
repeatedly before Judge Gober for SELL
ing whisky. Having a number of
children, she got the sympathy of the
Judge and on the plea that she would
quit running "blind tiger" he let her
off easy each time. But she has per-
sisted in violating the law in this par
ticular, and at the term of court last
week she was convicted again of SELL
ing whisky. This time Judge Gober
placed a sentence of twelve months in
the -chaingang and six months in the
county Jail. She expected to get off
again, but was disappointed. She will
have to suffer the penalty.
