Indians abundantly demonstrated
demonstrated too, in a manner that
would swallow up ages in reckoning

town, the workmen, at the depth Of
five feet, in open and level ground,

bic slip or land slide of any kind,
found n well-defncd furnace, with
burnt stone, ashes and cinders in a
good state of preservation, showing
an Indian camping-ground, long since
deserted, and from the location and
depth of regularly formed strata of
soil it is impossible to form the faint
est idea of the time elapsing since
the camp resounded to the shouts
of victory and the music of the war

We commend the following item
to the Oranges of this county and
State, and hope they may adopt a
similar measure, as it would be the
means of accomplishing much good
to the ORDER
"An Alabama Grange has appoint
ed committee to visit the farm of
each member of that Grange and to
report in writing the state of the
growing crops; the condition of farm
and fences; quality and condition of
stock; methods of cultivation, rota-
ton Of crops; kinds Of crops raised
and the varieties of each; varieties of
fruit raised, and the general condi-
ton of farm buildings. These re-
ports are not for publication, unless
the owner desires, but are to form the
subjects of discussion at future meet
ings." Such Grange work cannot but
be profitable to the community in
which it is situated, and could be i'm
itated by other Oranges with much
benefit.
