GOLD FOUND IN GRAVES PECULIAR DISCOVERY MADE IN LIMESTONE COUNTY. Instead of the Bones of Humans, China and Silverware With
 About $500 in Money
 Were Exhumed.

New Decatur, Nov. 19.-(Special.)-The story of unique find in Limestone Coun- ty near CIuttsville postoffice, was related to your correspondent today by well known cotton planter of that neignoor- hood who vouched for the authenticity of the report. The planters name IS J. B. Nealson.
 One day last week while hunting, a farmer discovered four graves in pine forest in what Is known as the "Barrens of Rhinestone County. several miles from any residence. The graves gave every evidence of having been there many years, being sunk to a depth of .vo CT three feet. The rough stone slabs bore no inscription of any. sort. and were moss covered and weather worn.
 Inquiring in the neighborhood for miles around as to whose remains reposed in the graves developed no knowledge as to their identity. The oldest inhabitent." a man nearly 90 years old. had no reco- lection of any one having been buried in the spot pointed out to him.
 Finally, it was decided to open the four graves to discover if human Sones Icy within and this was done by the finder and his friends. Instead of human skeletons being found, it was ascertained that the graves were only sham as they had evidently been made use of as recep- tdcieS TUT IaAiky tE0dSuEc ocNCIdl uOACo were dug up, and all contained articles of value, dozens of silver spoons, knives. forks and various articles of silver plate. It was all massive and of pattern evidencing antiquity. One larger box contained almost complete set of ele- gant china service, and at the bottom of the latter box was a small tin box carefully wrapped in many folds of uloldy cloth, this containing $500 in gold in 20 and $10 pieces. Just how much is the value of the entire find cannot of course be told yet, but from the number of pieces of silver 1t is evidently worth. with the money. several thousand dollars. Nearly all of the silverware contains some kind of inscription or family coat of-arms. and the finders will have 1t polished and endeavor to discover to what unfortunate family left stranded by the tide of civil war it belonged.
