Fork runs stream known as Skull creek. So called because for long years there hung Tn a tree overshadowlng the waters the skull Of the last white man killed by the Indians Tn that section.
 Il may not be generally known that a few years ago the red man was found to be dwelling in our midst as a hard working and peaceful citizen. Some planters of Wilcox, who were aboard a raft of timber bound for Mobile more than a dozen years ago. say that their paddlemen ran the raft into a shady nook on the bank just below Claiborne where they saw some fishing lines run out into the water. As they were about to capture them. several full-blooded Indians appeared, claimed tbe nets, but offered to sell the fish therein. The pur- c9iasc was made, and the citizens of Wil- cox chatted with the natives. whom they found fairly intelligent. dressed as Ameri- can laborers, and speaking the English tongue. They claimed to have colony of e0 or more few miles back In the words of Clarke county. and communi- cated interesting facts as to their lives and habits. They were. no doubt, rep- resentatives of the well known Choctaws. residing in the state in early days. Whether they are still in that section tho narrator could not say. said narrator be- ing member of the Tait family of this sketch.
