On exhibition in this place last week
were three earthenware pots, in a splendid
state Of preservation, which were plowed
up "A short time since by a young man in
this county. The field in which they were
found held several large mounds, and no
doubt these pots are relics OF the race OF
abOrigines known as the mound builders.
When found they were systematically
placed one above the other, the mouth Of
the pots turned downward. There We're
four found, though one was badly shat
tered by the plowshare striking it.
Two OF them resembled in shape the
common dinner pot, bullying outward
in the middle, then curving inward
toward the top, but laring outward at
the rim. The bottoms of two were round
instead of fiat. The third resembled a
bowl, gracefully shaped, with flat bottom
and artisUically ornamented around the
rim. The completeness of the job is sur
prising, and the design on the BOWL shows
no little artistic taste. They Will hold
about one-half gallon. BY them were
found the decompOsed bones of a skele-
ton. Many curious objects have been dug
out OF the mounds near where the pots
were unearthed. In one a complete skele-
ton Of a human frame of enormous size
was found, which indicates that 'there
were giants in those days"

Fred. Freeman's Wanderines.

Tuesday OF last week a traYel-stained,
ragged boy Of 10 stopped at the house Of
Mr.. Josie Handy, "A thrifty young farmer,
five miles north of Greenyille. The boy
was intelligent for his years and very
hungry, asking for employment. Mr..
Handy gave the boy work and food. In a
few days Mr.. Handy suspected the little
fellow was a fugitive ana asked il he was
not named Fred Freeman. The boy fell
upon his knees and acknowledged his
identity, begging that his secret might be
kept from the public. Fred said he shot
his little playmate accidentally. They
were rabbit hunting. Fred had cooked
his gun, having caught sight of a rabbit.
His companion ran in front just as Fred's
foot tripped, throwing him 10 the
ground. In falling the gun was dis
charged, the entire load entering the
body OF the boy in front and killing him in.

There is not an old citizen in Middle

Oughly acquainted with the old Franklin

as a hotel, and was known as MitchelPs
hotel, owned and kept by the father Of
Judge A.. l.. Mitchell, of our city. Mr..
j. W. Nicholson purchased the property
and fitted up a number Of stores. and the
rooms upstairs were turned into office
for yer Two OF the stores, Nos. 10
and IA, were used for a long time as dry
GOOD stores, and the store on the corner
was used by Childs, Nickerson a. Co., the
leading hardware men in Northeast
Georgia. Mr.. Ferdinand Phinizy had
bought the corner store from Mr.. Nich0l-
son some time ago, and knowing that
Athens property was bound TO increase In
value, Yesterday purchased the stores,
Nos. f8 and IA, from Mr.. Nicholson, pay

the rooms above. Mr.. Phinizy will

Indian Anfinnities.


From the ThONdst0a tGd.) Times.
While Mr.. Tom L. Holloway was out
hunting a few days ago on the plantation
ofMr. w. l.. Adams, he discovered some
old Indian pot-ware IN the bank of a gully
that had washed in an old field. 1t some
what excited his curiosity, and he went
and procured the assistance of Uncle
Dock McKenney and they dug into the
bank of the gully and unearthed several
Indian pots, two of which are now in the
0rdinary's office in this county, almost as
perfect as they were when they were bur-
led, perhaps go years ago. While max
ing the excavation they dug into four
graves and found that the bodies had been
buried in a sitting position and the graves
were not exceeding 3 by 4 feet. There
are several more graves at the same place
which were not disturbed.

HOTELS.
The writer was the guest Of the st.
James Hotel, of which Capt. Tom. White
late of the Magnolia House, Darien, and
so long and faVOrably known in the
steamboat service on the Atlantic coast,
is the genial proprietor. His house is
frst-class, and the iavOrite resort of the
discriminating commercial traveller,
whose every rant is forestalled. The Cap
tam keeps open ali summer and says his
patronage is as large at that season as any
other.
The Orange Grove Hotel also which is
run by Mr.. S. A. Jones to the extent Of its
accommodations is the equal of anv SINH
lar establishment in South Florida. The
chief waiter was a body servant of ex-
President Arthur. Still Tampa needs
another hotel with a capacity Of 600
guests to meet the wants of the near fu-
ture.
A potent factor in the work OF
building up the own and attracting set
tiers to this section, is the
"HILLsBoRoUGH COUNTY REAL ESTATE
AGENCY"
Under the interchangeable efforts of mana
ger S. A. Jones, thousands of acres of
land have changed hands at constantly
advancing prices. The writer drove with
him to old Tampa bay several miles
across the country, and skirted the hard
beach for a fun mile. Lots, with bay
fronts, are in great demand by Northern
visitors, and ere long the whole shore
line OF Tampa and HillsborOugh bays
will be adorned with tasty villas and
winter residences. We made a circuit
of the city also, visiting Spanish town

Greds of orange groves in the vicinity.
Despite the apparent poverty OF the soil
the young trees were flourishing luXuri-
antly under the effects Of careful culture
and proper fertilization. The old groves
are still laden with last years fruit,
plump and charming to the eve and of eX-
traordlnary size, but when plucked, soft
and labby and almost devoid Of juice.

than quadrupled in a few years. Seventy

Three papers are published here. The

Courier a monthly sheet published in the
interests OF the ''Hillsborough County
Real Estate Agency" In their columns
every information is afforded that the i'm
migrant may desire to know, concerning
the productions resources and general
outlook of this whole region. The trite
proverb, at is an i'll wind thai blows no
one any good" is likely to be verified by
the decided impetus TO Tampa's pros
perity caused by the recent disastrous
confagration at Key West. Many OF the
homeless citizens and dealers in that sea-
grit isle, it is reported, will transfer their
residence and business to this city. Some
have even commenced the work Of re-

safe to affirm that a bright future
awaits this beautiful town which offers
so many ADVANTAGES to those in quest of
