The last resting place of Mr.. Davis
was settled and finally disposed of when
Mrs. DAVIS made her decision. which
should meet the hearty approval from all
the old soldiers of the South. and they
should join us in pushing forward this
great work. for We are honoring ourselves
by first erecting a monument to the Presi-

What Others may do, wherever you

DID THEY FIND GOLD
Treasure Hunters Dig Up a Chest
Cedar Point.

Treasure Hunters Dig Up Chest on
Cedar Point.
Working on the clue of the old tradi
ton, current in this locality for many
years past, treasure hunters made a
recent descent on Cedar Point, opposite
Elk Landing, and evidently found what
they sought, for plainly impressed in the
soil, in the bottom OF the excavation
made by the seekers of treasure, is the
impression of large chest or iron box.
Traces of the treasure seekers were
first found one morning lately by Michael
Waters, laborer employed By Mr. w. D
Sommers, on whose property the sup
posed treasu q was located. Mr Sommers
is the present owner of "Whitehal'," a
beautiful country seat situated on the
Elk river, a short distance above French
towh, and formerly the homestead Of the
Henderson family.
Cedar Point is we'll known to those
who travel up and down the river. The
Point marks the juucture of the Big aud
Little Elks, and has always been regard
ed among the old wiseacres and rivermen
as being haunted. Many stories have
been told of treasures buried on the
Point, and several years ago the cellar of
the old stone house. that has been torn
down, was literally houeycombed by the
digging Of unknown parties.
Now the legendary treasure is gone
and is in the possession OF some party OF
parties, who knew exactly where to dig,
and who did not waste any time. The
excavation Is about five feet in depth,
and about 6 feet in diameter, and is sit
uated in what used to be the yard of the
old stone house directly between a cherry
and a walnut tree. The roots of the for
mer had pressed themselves down and
formed a veritable wooden vault, which
held the chest and its unknown colte1ts
To avoid noise, the treasure hunters
used saw ips..o... or an axe 10 CT. the
- grounding their find. Each root

: -. = '. they were, where they were from,
, sI8as unearthed By these mysterious
-rs. no one knows, and no one will
er rbe likely to know. There Is the
hoe. and there is the plain imprint OF
| tho chest or box, shown by the line of
| TIE sa wed off roots and the marks in the
| bottom of the hole
! The object unearthed whatever it
may have been, was bulky as the gravel
| taken from the hole does not begin to
| fill it by one half.
| From the way the gravel lies near the
hole, it is plain to be seen that two men
| worked back to back with spades aud
threw the debris on opposite sides.
1t is also evident that these mysterious
men came by water and left by the same
means. Several strange vessels have
been of late seen in the creek after dark
Were they strangers, or have some OF oul
neighbors benefited by this treasure
trove?
