PEMISSCOTT MOUND.

On Pemisscott Bayou, 22 miles northwest of Osceola, on the farm of

Samuel Hector, is a mound 20 feet in height, with a surface area of

about one-fourth of an acre. The sides have been dug into extensively,

but the central part remained untouched. It was composed of sand and

bluish clay, but contained no remains of interest. It is stated by the

proprietor that formerly there were three circular ditches extending

around the slopes of the mound. When the surface of the mound was first

plowed quantities of charcoal and potsherds were found.
