must be done very shallow and as

Interesting Exercises at Chehaw, in
Lee County, Next Friday. The
Bronwood Band viii Play.

The ceremony of unwilling the
memorial shaft erected on the site
of old Chehaw, the former Indian vii
lage in Lee county, will take place
next Friday and will be an occasion
of much interest.
The exercises will be directed by
the D. A. r. chapter of Americas,
which erected the handsome monu-
ment to the friendly Creek Indians
who were massacred there in the
early days of Georgia's history. The
Brentwood Band has been invited
and accepted an invitation to be
present and make music for the oc-
casion. The following program has
been arranged:
Prayer, led by D. A. R. chaplain.
National song, America"
Introduction OF Mrs. William Law
son Peel, by Miss Annie May Bell.
Address by Mrs. William Lawson
Peel of Atlanta, vice-president gen.
eral of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution.
Music by the band.
Introduction of j. Il. ID. Shipp, by
Mrs. Charles A. Fricker, regent of
Council of Safety Chapter, Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution.
Historical address, by j. e. D.
Ship.
Music by the band.
National song, Star Spangled
Banner"
Unwilling of monument, by Misses
Mary Dudley and Lucy Simmons and
Frank Harold Jr.
Dinner will be spread on the
grounds.
This tribute is paid the memory
of the Chehaws, band of friendly
Indians who in 1918 were ruthlessly
slaughtered and their village burned
by Capt Obed Wright of the Geor-
gia militia, serving under General
Andrew Jackson, in his march upon
the Seminoles in Florida. The Che
haWs were a friendly nation and at
the time of the destruction of their
village and killing of those left be-
hind the men of the tribe were fight
ing in the ranks of the state troops.
Capt. Wright was tried for the
act, but was acquitted. The rearing
of the monument on the site of the
destroyed village is intended as rep
aration for the wrong done the
friendly Indians.

Court Adjourned to thursday.
After a short session of the supe-
rior court Monday the traverse jul
rors were dismissed by Judge Wor-
rill and a recess taken until Thurs
day morning, when work on the Grim
inal docket will be begun.
The grand jury, of which j. D.
Weaver is foreman and J. P. Perry
secretary, is in session, however, and
is said to have the usual amount OF
business before it. This body broke
the record Monday by returning four
indictments for murder. Three of
the defendants are men and one a
woman, and all have been in jail
some time. They are Ed Coins, Sol
Timmons Dock Perkins and Alberta
Williams.
While the civil docket was light
and not more than one day was de-
voted to it there is a considerable
amount of criminal business, and
court will in all probability be in
session the greater part of next
week
