BANK ROBBERY
IN ACWOR7H.

On Sunday morning last about 3
O'Clock, the S. Lemon Banking Co.,
of Acworth, was burglarized and SIS, 100
stolen. Three strange men entered
Acworth Saturday night and it is
thought they are the robbers. The
front door of the building was opened
by boring two holes in the door and
throwing the bolt of the lock. Once
inside they knocked off the knob of the
vault door and broke the combination
with a punch having obtained a sledge
hammer from Welch's blacksmith
shop near by. Inside they bored hole
into the combination, lock of tie safe
inserted nitro-glycerine therein, closed
the vault door to deaden the sound of
the explosion, and then blew the safe
door open. They obtained $500 in
money, much Of it no doubt being mu-
tilated by the explosion. A $1,000
Georgia State bond and large amount
Of sUock certificates we're taken. About
$4,000 in notes, stock certificates and
bonds were badly mutilated. Mr.. Mar
tin, telegraph operator and night watch
man, w n Davenport, were attracted
by noise and went out to investigate,
but the robbers had made good their
escape. The alarm was given and
telephone messages sent to Marietta
and neighboring towns to be on the
watch for the thieves.
Sheriff Dunn went out in the neigh
bQrhood of Woodstock and made u
circle, but he couldn't hear of no trace
of them.

PLANT CORN.

The papers of the state are calling the
attention of the farmers to the fact that
corn is selling at some points for as
much as 81 90 per bushel, and cotton is
bringing less than cents. The ques-
ton arises, Where are the farmers going
to get feed for their teams while MAX
ing cotton crop? The acreage plant
ed TO cotton this year will, no doubt be
greatly reduced. Diversiiication of
crops is the only way by which the far
mer can always be on the winning side.
