May Open Indian Mounds
in BERTHE

In order to show the great state
of civilization to which the Tuscarora
Indians of this State had advanced
which will be part of the history OF
Bertie County now being written by
United States District Attorney
Francis D. Winston, it is very prob
able that the Smithsonian Institute
at Washington will send an expert
to open two large Indian mounds in
that county. Governor Winston is
now negotiating with the authorities
at the institute to send the expert.
Governor Winston hopes to show
from the pottery, implt m eDts and
other things found in the mounds
the great state of civilization to
which that tribe had advanced and
also show conclusively that they
are Iriquovian stock and not of the
Algonquins. Mr.. James Mooney,
himself an Indian, and connected
with the Smithsonian Institute is
considering going to BERTHE county
for that purpose.

and transplanted the little flower of

emily garden to bloom more fragrant

there. Just like the dainty violet
that lifts its head from its winter
bed and blooms in all its sweetness,
purity and innocence for brief
period, only to wither at the north
winds breath, so this little flower of
love that came to scatter its sweet
ness and sunshine in Our home, was
chilled by the hand of death in such
short time. Scarcely had the
little lungs began to inhale the air
of life, the eyes to wander around
in a new world and the little form
to endear itself to sthe household,
when her spirit went back to the
eternal home. 1t is hard to give up

when the sojourn is so short but we
know that God never made a mis-
take, that it is for the best, and we
trust Him implicitly in this dispen-

commit the spirit of our last born to
HIS keeping.

Greensboro road, now think it would
be a good thing to complete it on
Independence Day which they say
will be done. The road will prac-

High Point end will be worked first
for seven miles and then the force
will start from the Greensboro end
and connect.
The contract on this road has been let to
the Lassiter Co at cost OF $11 200 a mile
and work has commenced.
