So they formed a "$250 Club", agreeing that they would give $250.00 each provided! twenty units of $250.00 each could be secured. Twelve units have already been taken. Thus, $3,000 toward the $10,000 has been pledged. When the $250 club is completed with twenty units taken, one half of the $10, 000 will be raised and then a campaign will be put on to secure gifts from at least a thousand people in Watauga county. Each contributor will have the satis faction of knowing that each dol lar he gives will mean four dol lars to the hospital fund, two dollars from the Duke Founda around one of the snarp curves on the B and B R turnpike, they came in contact with an automo bile going in the opposite direc tion. The frightened animal sprang violently backward, over turning the buggy, throwing the occupants out, the terrified young lady rolling some distance down the hill, but fortunately neither was seriously injured. Mr. Gra ham says there was no signal giv en by the chauffeur, and if he is not in error someone is certainly guilty of criminal carelessness. iGo mfortr f hound!

Nawa) Quarry officials have announc ed that a cave used by Indians Hundreds of years ago as a burial place was uncovered last week in the Maymead Lime Co. quarry near Shouns. More than 50 skeletons were unearthed as well as assorted bones, beads, and ornaments worn by Indians of that age. T. M. Lewis .head of the de partment of anthropology at the Jniversity of Tennessee and Ten nessee state archaeologist, who investigated the find, said that some of the remains dated back as far as 1200 years. The investigation and excava tion made by Mr. Lewis was the first such type of work done in upper East Tennessee. He said that the nearest archaeological investigation prior to the study of the cave at Maymead was at Dandridge. The archaeologist said that he found remains of two types of Indians who were in Tennessee many hundreds of years ago. The earliest type, he said, was the Woodland group of tribes who were of Mongolian derivation and who came from Asia across the Bering Strait about 2000 B. C. They were in Tennessee about 600 to 700 A. D. The other group, which Mr. Lewis termed the Mississippi group, came later and had a more advanced type of civilization. This group of tribes, he explain ed, came from the southwest and were originally from the north east of Mexico. They were in Tennessee about 1000 A. D. He said that the first group was nomadic and ranged from New England to Florida. It had been supposed that they were in this section but this was the first direct evidence uncovered. On the plains of Tennessee they bur ied their dead in the mounds, but in the mountains they used eaves for their burial grounds, he said. The Mississippi group was much more advanced than the first and lived in stockaded towns and were farmers Mr. Lewis said that there had been some shift in the earth since the Indians had been bur led and that this had broken up the skeletons as well as pipes which he found near the skele -ons. He also found shell beads which came from the Gulf of Mexico and a few copper trin kets. I He found one piece of a pot tery vessel, belonging to the first group. He added that he found about 15 different forms of shells used for ornamentation. One type worn, about the neck, was {engraved with a rattlesnake. Mr Lewis said that the dead had been buried one on top of the other. He said that there was evidence that some of those buried there were important men in their tribes. The cave was uncovered fol lowing the clearing up of stone blasted from the quarry. He said that there were many more skel etons still in the recesses of the cave which had been opened up by the blast. 7th CAESAREAN SON IK FAMILY Appleton, Wis. ?
