A Mystery in a Tree.

Mr. J. B. Blair, who lives six miles from Villa Rica, was in town Tuesday, says the Carrollton (Ga.) Free Tress, with a mystery in the shape of a piece of a tree with a jaw bone of a man in it. It was shown to five of our doctors and they say it is either that of an Indian or white man. But how it got there is a mystery, as it was near the center of the tree, the tree being over two feet through, and was found four feet from the ground. Mir. Blair was offered SSOO for a half interest in it to show at the Atlanta exposition. He says he would not take $2,000 for it, as he proposes to exhibit it throughout the United States and at the coming exposition in Atlanta.
