AN INTERESTING DISCOVERY.
Unearthing of q Prehistoric Burial
Ground on Broad River.

STOunQ on BrOdU River
From the Ei6erton (Gd.) Star.
There is a point on the old Davenport
place, now the property of r. X. Reaves of
Athens, between Martins and Jones' ferries,
where 4 bend in the river forms Il complete
horseshoe. During tho big frcshot last
summer the river for the first time broke
over this barrier, and its raging waters re.
moved the earth to depth of several feet,
After the stream had subsidized and re-
turned to its original channel, it vas discov-
cred that the waters had exposed to view
an aborig inal battle-ground, and a space Of
several acres was thickly strewn with
human bones and all manner of stone and
clay implements, sucl as battle-axes, arrow
heads, pipes, pottery, etc. Many of them
were i'll a perfect state of preservation and
of peculiar design. The hands ON the place
collected quantities of these curiosities. But
the strangest part of the discovery is that all
the skeletons unearthed were of giants,
being persons of enormous stature. Some
of them were perfect, SO we learn. 1t is be-
lieved that they belonged TO the race of
mound builders that inhabited this land
even before the Indians, and of whose ex-
istence no history remains. They have
doubtless slept in their graves for centuries
No one had any idea of the existence of this
old burial ground until it was exposed by
the high water.
