MOUND AT NILES' FERRY.

On the farm of J. W. Niles, at this point, is a large mound that has the

appearance of a Creek or Cherokee ball-ground. It was flat on the top,

and had an area of 1-3/4 acres. The height was 15 feet. In outline it

was somewhat triangular. This mound was also constructed of clay, and

contained nothing of interest. In the fields, near by, human bones,

pottery, stone implements, beads, etc., are frequently plowed up. From

this locality the following specimens were collected:

62957. Arrow heads and knives of gray and black chalcedony.

62955. Unworked Unio shells.

62956. A number of shell beads of usual size and form.
