V Florence. Ala., April 10. Within sight of Wilson d-m, unit of the gov ernment's war pioj-et at Muscle Shoals, stan Is a mcr.urner.t none the less marvelous in its construction which marks the yjory of the rule of a lost race, according to ethnologists who lately visited the district. Preh:storic mound builders or abor igines erect a mound here that has defied the d'jcay of a;os. Protected by law. the secrets of the huge pile o featth and stone have been denied the curious as w.'l as the scientific explorer. The mound stands fifty feet high and covers more than an acre of ground. It is situated on the nortn banks of th Tennessee river just out side the city of Florence. Small trees nnd f'ens shvuhbery cover the whole. The mound hr.s proved of almost as mur-h interest is the government pro ject to the thovsprds who have visit ed the. district, town authorities de clare. Muscle Shoals was a favorite haunt of the Red Man, local history shows. It is believed here that the mound was originally constructed by the lost race of mound builders but was used by the Indians as a mausoleum where thp bodies of many great chieftains now repose. The story appears to be authenticated that the chief of the last great tribe to inhabit the district was buried there by request so that he "migh continually hear the splash of the waters as they, roll over Muscle Shoals."

EASTLAKE Eastlake, April 9. The best loved and most familiar figure in Eastlake is "Uncle Jimmie" Josslyn, whose 80th birthday was recently celebrated at the clubhouse by one of the genuine Southern suppers for which Eastlake is famous, and which included a huge three-tiered cake with ' candles and all sorts of "fixins," built by Mrs. James E. Klock. Dr. Klock paid a most gracious and tender tribute to the honored guest of the eveningj whose health everybody drank in the sparkling water of Lake Weir or in delicious amber coffee. "Uncle Jim mie" responded feelingly, deeply touched by the thoughtful affection shown him. Forty-five years of life in Eastlake, which, by the way, he named and named one word, not two, make Mr. Josslyn the oldest citizen in the place, not only in years but in length of residence. His heart i3 young, and his keen interest in every body and everything, his genial man ner and unaffected enjoyment in all that occurs in his beloved Eastlake, waken a reciprocal feeling of love and admiration in the hearts of young and old. The two brothers, J. R. and C. L. Josslyn of Brookfield, Mass., decided they would like to live in Florida, hay ing heard from returning travelers much of its wonderful beauties and unusual possibilities for advancement for young, active men. So they came by boat to Jacksonville, then up the Oklawaha river to Silver Springs with the intention of locating in Lee.3 burg where they had acquaintances. Not being able to hire a conveyance they were obliged to walk from Sil ver Springs, and brought up, March 12, 1875. on the west side of Lake Weir where Captain John L. Carney of Murfreesboro, Tenn., had taken up a homestead claim in the fall of 1873 where the property of the Carney In vestment Company now lies. Besides the Carneys, the only other people around the lake at that time were Dr. Jefferson Myers of South Carolina, who was located near the Carney place, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles" R. Porter, living at South Lake. After spending the night at the hospitable home of Captain Carney the Josslyn boys trekked to Leesburg where they were cordially welcomed and offered all sorts of inducements to remain. "But," said Uncle Jimmie, "we had seen Lake Weir, and nothing else would do!" So back they came to the lake, built a log cabin on the bluff where Eastlake now stands, homesteaded 160 acres, and later took up several other claims in the region, being five miles in any direction from a neigh bor. After awhile others joined, the Josslyns, among them George E. Snow of Charlton, Mass., to whom Mr. Josslyn sold very soon a lot of six acres, the first lot ever sold on Lake Weir. In 1879 Uncle Jimmie moved from the log cabin and built the north part of the big house on the bluff now owned by the Eastlake Investment Company. He sold the place in 1882 to Samuel Hodson of Meredith, N. H., who operated the house as a hotel under the management of a Mr. Kroll of East Saginaw, Mich. Frank E. Carpenter, now living in Eastlake, also ran the place as a hostelry, and was followed by others. Mr. Snow bought the property on a mortgage and sold it in 1915 to the Eastlake Investment Company, its present owner. Mr. Josslyn, hale and hearty, and Size of the Appropriation for Our Fighting Ships is Not Yet Settled Washington, April 10 (By the As sociated Press.) A fight over the naval appropriation bill is presaged by a vigorous attack on the measure in the minority report signed by five republicans and one democrat, and is expected to begin in the House today, following a formal presentation of the minority's views.

I WANT SOME MONEY TO BUY HYMNBOOKS I want twenty-five dollars to buy hymnbooks for the girls of the Indus trial School. At least I wanted twenty-five dollars this morning.

So the books are pretty well worn out. it should be our pleasure to give the school a new supply. As aforesaid. I wanted $25 this morning. I started out on my regular work with the collection as a side line. I put in no extra time, except about two minutes per victim, to hold him up, demand his money, stick it in my pocket and write his name in my memorandum book.

Uncle Jim mie is confident that, even though the capital mar not be moved to the beautiful shores of Lake Weir, the Eastlake which- he founded, whose growth he has' watched with keenest interest, and whose every stick and stone he loved will one day be a flour ishing and copular all-year-round re sort, which it gives ample promise of becoming.
