Acworth Nelrs: The big rain Of last month
uncovered several things in this section which
had been hidden from the eyes OF man for
many years. On the plantation of WI. Pal
mer. near Acworth. great many arrow
heads, and other things made of stone by the
red man, have been found. and il was well
understood that the place was once the dwell
ing place Of many Indians: but Mr.. Palmer
did not know that he was the pOssessOr of an
Indian graveyard until the big freshet lifted
the soil that had been gathered over it
for a half century or more. This
part of the place was cleared
q ahout fifteen years ago, and was remarkably
free from rocks at that time. 1t is on a little
elevation Of the bottom lands. About twenty
round holes are now exposed to view. bearing
evidence Of having been carefully dug and
lined with rocks. 80 far nothing has been
found IN them more than arrow heads, short
stone spears and pieces of soapstone and
esrthenware vessels. though a further explo-
ration may reveal other and more important
relics. Mrs. Palmer has a sOapstone bowl.
which was left by the Indians, and she has
used it twenty years for a chicken trough.
