Jive been taken. It is supposed that
these mounds were bulit by the na
tives with a twofold purpose; to be
used as a burial ground and to be
used for refuge in time of If'gh water.
I like to think of the Indians who
lived in the woods near these mounds.
Wouldn’t you like to see exactly how
one of those villages looked? Can’t
iu just see their wigwams and
•Ids that were so dear to them?
How they must have enjoyed roam
ing the wods in the bri^c fall days
when the leaves had just transform
ed the woods into a mass of color!
Then, when the trees began to put
forth tender green buds and leaves
in the spring, they surely must have
xpent many happy hours in the warm
sunlight
Across the rood froip this place is
a beautiful white colonial house at
the end of a long driveway, which is
lined on each side with tall, stately
pines. The plact* is no longer in
good condition, but fifty years ago
the Whitakers, who owned the place,
were famous for their hospitality.
Many times my grandmother has told
me of the houseparties, which the
daughters of the home gave frequent
ly. There were many negro servants
to attend to the needs of the guests
and the household. The cooks were
noted for their skill. % The house was
certainly a place of love and laugh
ter.
In recent years, Mr. Shinholster
has made many modern mprovements
on his place. The house is a two
story stucco bungalow of modern
architecture. The entire top floor is
parlor or recreation hall. The
urnlshing- are quiet but tasteful. A
■ge number of tree# and shrubs
’have been set out in the front yard.
The driveway to the back of the house
has a row of crepe myrtle bushes on
each side. In the back yard there is
a Delco lighting system, a water tank
an^l two large barns. Three tractors
are in readiness for the cultivation of
crops.
In the woods behind the house
there it a (flowing) artesian well.
The w;.tcr fro mhtsi well is carried
into a ;oncrete swimming pool, which
is sixty-three feet long and thirty-
three feet wide. There is a bench
around all four sides of the pool
where guests may watch the swim
mers. A dressing house stands on
one side of the pool. The woods
which surround his playground are
beautiful in the fall. There are
tables in the woods for picnic lunch
es. The trees are mostly evergreens
interspersed with a few trees whose
leave# are now n brilliant orange or
red or yellow in the. fall of the year.
Each of these three types of
American life seems to have been
given every opportunity to provide
happiness. Do you wonder, as I do,
which one has given the most
pleasure?

often, early on cold winter mornings,
you will wish you were a cat, s<

They are a great source of pro

JUST CATS—AND CATS
b oat th. win daw and aroaod ataalth 17. alraid that ha will
U A cat is u four-legged animal,
with a round head, that holds two
eyes, a nose, and a mouth. He is
different from folks because he’ can
see in the dark, and he has a tail—
with fur on it. There are three
kinds of cats, Persian, Maltese, and
Angora cat#. The Persians is so
called that because they is known
by their queer purrs. Some cats is
made for little boys and girls to maul
and tease. These is called maltese
cats, and cats with fiery tempers is
called Angora cats.” So write a
little boy in his composition on cats.
It is partly true and caracteristically
phrased.
Cats are a species of animal which
are put on the earth for the sole
purpose of killing rats. Rats are a
detriment rather than a gain to the
human race, but the cats have to huve
something to do to prevent them
from scratching the children. Hence
the appearance of the rats! “God
made cats the same as he did little
apples, Little apples can be made
into cider but. although it may be
true, we do not usually think of cat
It has been said that cats possess
extraordinary musical powers. This
was probably said by an inhabitant
of the north pole or som? tuch
region, where the houses are so
thick, the melodious cat “squalls”
can not penetrate. No American
could conscientiously inak:• such a
statement, for, wh*\ in the realm of
cats, has not thrown shoe#, books,
atracks, and the like, out of the win
dow, to calm the disturbances in the
feline household.
Cats have little hawk-like eyes,
with pupils which become little in the
day time, and gradually increase in
size towards night, to enable them to
see in the dark. This is u bad idea,
for if the cats could not see at night,
they would fall off the back fences,
and in time, lose all of their nine
lives, and spare us poor human beings
the nightly serenades. Prowlers in
the night are arrested and put. in
jail, but -he big black eat struts
bravely by the policeman, who in
stead of placing him under arrest,
runs from him. Would it not be nice
to be a cat and have the law afraid
of you? Why, I have seen people
walk four blocks out of the way to
avoid going across the path of a
black cat. Is it not a distinction to
have such a reputation?
By the; way, cats #re not divided
into, race* according to pqlor, ns we
are. They may be arty; and

though, unfortunately, all of them
are not grafted together perfectly as
