Rev. R. A. Miller tells of peculiar
phenomenon at the New Hope grave
yard. 1t is a flexible tombstone.
Marking the grave of Holland Reid is
stone which has been standing many
years. 1t is fast in the base and for
two inches above the base is apparent
ly like other tombstones. But the
stone for the next six inches (above
the first two) possesses remarkable
fexibility. You can catch the stone
by the top and bend it back and forth
readily. When bent and suddenly let
60, it doesn't vibrate but assumes an
upright position and stops. Rowing
thieves relieved Mr.. Robert Craig of a
coat last Friday night. They came on
to his back porch and took therefrom
two coats and a vest, the better of the
coats containing his tax receipts and
other papers. They transferred the
papers from this to the other coat and
left it and the vest on the gate post !;
but the good garments they carried
with them. At Mr.. Pink Rankin's
they took q waterbucket and basin,
some children's clothing and so on.
Where are they at?
