Members of a county road crew

hot news sensation.
Only first, the county sheriff

The road workers unearthed a
human skull along the side of the
road on ' the ' highest knoll be

they found another set of human
bones, apparently about the same
age.
But Deputy Sheriff Sam Burk-

Taylor, upon investigation, found
nothing that would indicate vio

that that section was years ago a

The skull found was taken to a
doctor at Jefferson who said he

a cemetery many, many years
