A LARGE INDIAN MOUND.

Waycross, Ga, April 2O.--Near Mt. Green
Church, in Ware county, II IL said that
there is one Of the largest Indian mounds
in South Georgia, being probably IS feet
by 80 feet. and from three to four feet
high 1t is thickly covered by oak trees,
some of which are very large. being prob
ably fifteen inches in diameter.
Some time ago Joe Boyd and j. b. Brant-
ley dug into the mound to the depth of
about six feet. when they discovered a
bed OF black fire coal about the length of
a man. Going a little further they found
the bones of what they suppose to be an
Indian brave. Lying on his breast was
fine oil stone, which was evidently buried
with him.
II Is said that the Indians often buried
their dead In beds of fire Goals, completely
covering them with the same. When the
Indian braves and the squaws die they arc
placed side by side with those who had
preceded them to the happy hunting
ground and the mound enlarged so as to
cover them. Thus. as time went on, these
mounds grew very large Visitors 20 Mt.

leader. The old members are not to be

not willing to marry into the Quay po-

friends on New Years eve to watch out
the old year and greet the new one.

with plants, smilax, holly and missletoe
and several young ladies ran the risk
of being kissed as they unconsciously
stood under the hanging mistletoe
bough. During the evening music was
rendered by Miss Evelyn Brown On the
piano and S. E. Pope on the violin.
Later in the evening consolation whist
was played, the ladies' first prize being
won by Miss Brown and the second by
Miss Casper. The gentlemen's first prize
was won by G. w. Cramer, and second
by P. Radcliff. At 11:3O o'clock Mas
ter Ernest Littlefield presented each
guest with a japanese favor, and each
gentleman found the lady with a favor
corresponding to his own and escorted
her to the dining-room, where delicate
refreshments were served at large

The evening was very pleasantly spent
in music and games until the old year
was about to depart when all repaired
to the dining-room to partake of the
good things with which the table was
we'll supplied. As the minutes flew by
it was discovered that the year Of '98
was no more, and that it had been sue
ceeded by a new year, which was re-
ceived with the usual greetings. The
guests then returned to the parlor,
where games and music were resumed
until late hour, when they took their
departure. all wishing Fred success
