AN INDIAN GRAVE

Mr. J.M. Crow while traveling in the edge of Polk County, on the Conasauga River about 14 miles from here, came across an Indians grave upon which was the following noticeable

inscription: SACRED to the memory of David and Deliah A. McNair- who departed this life - the former Aug 15,1836 the latter Nov 31 1838. Their children being natives of the Cherokee nation, and having to go with their people to the west, leave this monument not only to tell of their regards for their parents, but to guard their ashes from unhallowed intrusion of the white man." The inscription appears on the tombstone, which is inside of a large rock wall about seven feet high. There is part of the tribe that visits this spot once a year to look after the grave and see that it is unmolested by the pale face.

ROBBERY AND MAN SHOT

 

On Friday last week two negro men entered the premises of Mr. TOM EPPERSON, four miles south of Cleveland, and took his clothes and several other articles there from. Mr. EPPERSON in company with two other gentlemen, whose names we did not learn, followed the negros to this place where they over took them. They arrested

them about half a mile above Cleveland and started back with them when one of the negros shot Mr. EPPERSON in the head. It seems as if the pistol was loaded with buck-shots. The shots took effect in the forehead. As soon as the negros done the shooting they fled to the woods and made their escape. Mr. EPPERSON's wound was dressed and he is now improving. Mayor Hix and Dept. Sheriff Seabourn searched for them all next day about Charleston and Chatta, but could hear nothing of them.
