gather specimens OF stone from gravel bed in the
Pine River that washed out from the bank by
during the freshet year ago. In this loose bank they
uncovered stone resembling the face OF child.
After looking at it in wonder for time they thinking
of the doubt that hangs over the discovery OF the
famous giant, went out and brought fifteen twenty
men witness this before taking 1t II was then

AN ANCIENT WALL IN MISSISSIPPI
From the Port Gibson Standard

From the Port Gibson Standard
About eighteen miles from Port Gibson and mile
from Brandywine Springs the place OF Mr.. o'Quln
the existence OF great number OF blocks Of
has been known for indefinite time and the people
in the neghborhood have used them for props for their
houses. Mr.. James Gage, Jr., went out there few
days ago TO explore and had specimen stone brought
into town II Is about three feet long by about twenty
inches square, resembling shape bar Of soap. II
ia probably native sandstone. Mr.. Gage took this
block himself from beneath the roots OF large pine
tree. 1t formed portion of wall about twenty feet
broad the top which Mr. Gage traced for distance
of 260 yards The inference that would naturally
draw from this superficial view is that this have
been city wall but deep exploration might show to
be portion Of fort, temple or other building Any
way Its antiquity is probably immense antedating the
history of the red men.
