RELIC OF PREHISTORIC RACE
Discovery Of Lake Village Near GIas-
tonbury, England, Has Awakened
Much Interest There.

Much interest was awakened in Eng.
land not so long ago By the discovery
of a prehistoric lake village near Glas-
tonbury, the New York Herald reports.
The dwellings were placed on mounds
of clay and raised above the level of
the water The framework of prim.
tive loom was found under one
mound, and the number of broken
bone needles and bone splinters dis.
covered: il another mound may have
been the site Of an ancient needle fac
tory.
Few human bones were discovered,
but among the interesting finds was a
blue glass bead with n waving dark
line running round 1t. One of the
mounds contains 800 tons of clay, an
of which must have been dug from the
surrounding hills and carried to the
spot in boats.

in doing so my foot, unawares to me,

Woman's enterprise., 1922-01-13

few months later he received a tele-
gram from the publisher of the
Savannah Morning News, requesting
him to come at once and fill a position
on that fine paper. He asked me TO
collect his effects and express them
to him the next day. He wrote me
soon after he reached Savannah,
thanking me and describing his chief
editor, who was Maj. W. T. Thomp-
son, author Of "Maj. Jones Courtship'

He wrote me that Maj. Thompson was

EXTENSION OF THE CITY LIMITS.

The extension of the city limits subject brought to the
forefront of public discussion and which requires and sho
be given most serious thought and profound study penny
wise pound foolish policy will be the result If it is intended
to adjoining suburbs simply for taxable purposes then the
proposition simply selfish nthe other hand the an
nexed property to be placed equal footing with other
sections Of the city, that u.s. uburbantes to be furnished
public utilities electricity water sewerage paving and police pro-
greatly increased the properties to be annexed possibly
furnish sufficient funds by taxation to the cost of such i'm
provements.
During the days of reconstruction the Republicans in power
at that m extended the city limits one mile each direction
when found that the working of the roads, say nothing
OF police SUPERVISION cost the city than the income derived
from taxation and of the first undertakings after the
election of Governor Nichols and expulsion of carpebaggers and
their negro allies and dpes new charter which
drew in the corporation lines to the original boundaries
That the city is congesed and needs expansion is claim
easily reuted by observation There many vacant
within the corporate limits easily enough furnish one thousand
homes and enough ugly tumble down old hantes which should
be demolished to furnish space for many more
Allowing the claims of the expasonists to be based upon
firm foundation what au the loss of revenue to the parish
is required back to the corporation half of all taxes
collected city property therefore, is clear that the most
valuable taxable properties the parish are to be taken over hv
the city the parish will be impoverished to such an extent that
public improvements longer be made roads and BRIDGES
longer maintained in passable condition.
Expansion not serious demand the times The greater
the congestion the taxable property There are building
sites enough to be found and that were not so would
far wiser to build skyward than broad cast
The city covers territory than properly cared for
as s may judge from the condition of the side streets
and streets in that handsome addition known as Roeand Terrace
where residents autos frequently begged are to

need funds to meet financial needs and propose to force suh
ubanes to contribute to that end without benefits

ENRICHED BY THE BLOOD OF PATRIOTS.

Noticing the nerment of several bodies Roselawn
a Park brings to mind the fact that the Battle of Baton Rouge
fought the 5 of August 1862 opened upon the grounds
of that lovely City of the Dead and that the first Conedeates who
fell during that sangunary affair sanctfed the soil with their
es blood 1t there Major Todd Of the Kentucky Brigade
brother of the wife of President Abraham Lincoln fell covered
with wounds from which he expired the field The soil of
Roselawn Memorial Park not only saturated by the blood of
Major Todd but by that of host Of other Cofedraes and it is
satisfaction at least know that for all time to their
mains will rest of the ovees burial spots all the South
land Notwithstanding their unmarked graves have long since been
obliterated and no longer to be recognized.
Those femiar with events which occurred that 5th day
Of August will recall the fact that the Kentucky Brigade advanced
the Greenwe Springs road and formed line of battle Just
beyond where Roseawn Memorial Park located and that when
reached that point received heavy and destructive fire of
ery and musketry Returning the fire with yell the Ken
uckans rushed forward driving the Federas before them
through the Magnolia Cemetery and to the river.
Aside from it's beauty Roselawn Memorial Park connected
historically with the past Of Baton Rouge
few years after the close of the Civil War the remains Of
Major Todd were removed to Kentucky.
