Mr.. Page has some relics that he
picked up at a washout on bluff
near the river near Fish Dam.
One is a pot some five inches in di-
ameter. 1t was shaped like, an
acorn and the outside was carved
by having an ear of corn rolled over
it while it was soft, leaving the i'm
print of the grains. 1t was in a
good state of preservation. One
soapstone marble, one quot, three
arrow heads, perfect; one javelin
head, one piece of gun barrel with
u silver sight and one petrified wal
nut with hull and part of stem in
tact are other relics. What excited
my wonder more than any of them
was fine grain stone somewhat in
the shape of one that is used for
whetting scythes. 1t was fashioned
very nicely and it is as fine as any
hone. Mr.. Page uses it as q hone.
In the same place are some human
bones and pieces of pottery.

HOMO TAXES A TRIP.
Visits SantuC and Tells of Some In.
dian Relics.

Lockhart, Aug. 27, 1906.-With
your permission / will give the
readers of THE TIMES some of my
observations while attending the
Union Baptist Association at SAM
tue.
The most of the delegation were
brought to that place by the Thurs
day morning train going South. On
arriving at the station we found
that a number of freight boxes were
between the passenger coaches and
the waiting room and that the safest
way of exit was on the west side.
We proceeded up the track on foot
to the church although we learned
afterwards that there were some
turnouts awaiting us on the other
side. The venerable J. d. Mahon
was in the lead. We considered
him safe guide therefore we fol-
lowed him and we were soon in Sa-
lem church.
The church is in beautiful grove
to the right of the Southern Ry.
We found the Association already
in session. Recess for dinner was
soon announced.
During the evening I was turned
over to the tender mcrcies of Mr..
and Mrs. w. M. Page who live a
mile or two from Salem church.
Their attention to my wants wheth-
er real or imaginary was such as one
will remember with much pleasure.
They have two sons and one daugh-
ter with them. also charming
daughter, Miss Bessie, who played
quite well on the organ. l met my
friend, Hey Denver and was pre-
vented from enjoying the hospitality
of his home by the threatening ap-
pearance of the clouds on Friday
evening.
The Association finished the bus
mess before it on Friday evening
and on Saturday morning we turned
our faces homeward. AS Mr.. II. J.
Wood was there in a buggy | ac-
cepted seat with him. 1 saw
some as fine upland corn
as ever saw. 1t belonged to Hey
Denver, who on being questioned
said that that was the best corn he
had. 1t made me wonder as most
folks would have had better piece
at some point.
We went by the dam at Meals
Shoals, I failed to be greatly i'm
pressed at what l saw. The roads
were very near impossible in places.
The cotton crop is quite poor in
sandy land SO poor that Mr.. Wood
remarked about some fields:
1t will push that feller to get his
seed back" On red land it is fair
ly good; some fields have enough
open to be picked. Some time near
night / arrived home.
In this connection let me say that

best insurance for funeral expenses

companies are fighting it so hard,
