At a recent meeting of the vestry Of
ST. Johns Episcopal church. Ensley, it
was decided to make special effort to
clear off the Indebtedness. of the church
and that the Pensioners be asked to
make special Easter offering for that
purpose. st. Johns parish has been with
out a rector for nearly year, yet serv-
ices have been held almost every Sun
day. The vestry has managed to keep
the congregation together. but has fallen
behind in the finances.
The church has no. current debts out
side the diocesan assessment.
There is an Indebtedness Of about 5000
on the church lot on the corner of Ave-
nue. II and Twenty-second street and 1t
is the earnest desire OF the vestry to wipe
this out that new church building may
be erected.

Exploring Indian Mounds

Some interesting discoveries have been
brought to Light by Prof. Scott Lyons OF
the Alabama Presbyterian college through
the exploration of an old Indian mound
about five miles south of this city. A
number of excavations were made as
result of which it was clearly shown
that the mound is artificial. Valuable
Indian relics, specimens. of pottery, etc,
were exhumed.. ~
In Slinbons and Fishhead valleys there
are several OF these mounds and indian
villages. where once two noble chieftains
by those names held sway. Relics from
the Neoithic. or later Stone Age, have
been discovered and in one of the villages
Professor Lyons found several hitherto
unknown implements.
Another expedition to the scene will be
made with his science class at an early
date, it is said. and 1t is believed that
further excavations will lead to discov-
cries that will be Of value to the history
of this section of Alabama as well as to
the cause of science.
