Coops Built Over Graves.

A singular burial custom prevails IN
the mountains of Northern Georgia
and Alabama. Over the graves are
placed strong wooden frames or coops
fastened down by driving stakes at the
corners. NO entirely satisfactory his
tory Of this strange custom Is given by
the mouneaineers. except that their
fathers and grandfatheFs had always
done the same thing. But presumably
the first coops were used to keep wild
beasts from digging up and devourtng
the uncufhhed bodies Of dead pioneers,
