Old Mounds on Drury Campus Hold Secrets Of Primitive People
On the campus of Drury college where now stand the modern build- ings with modern equipment for higher education, are age-old mounds, the primitive abode of mound build- ers.
The mounds were probably the adobe huts of the ancients, homes of a race that has altpped into history and left no record of tte itle. It ta thought that the people were either absorbed Into a more powerful race, such as the indian triben, or were extermi- tc.1 by such a race.
10,000 Mounds In Connly.
Bomne of the mounds which have been investigated ahow remains of charcoal which indicates the ex- Istence of . fire place. This is, how- emer, practically the only thing found to the mounds. There is no trace of srespons, toola or domestic utanalle. Indicating a tribe low in the scale of civilization.

There are mid to have been about 10,000 such mounds In Greene county. but they are gradualty being destroy - ed by farmers who plow through tham

SPRINGDALE, Ark, Jan, 14 .- Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Wayt, formerly of Springfield, Mo, but who have been residing here for several years, have observed so many anniversAries that a new one does not mean much lo them.
Mr. and Mrs. Wayt recently observed their sixty-seventh wedding anniversary but they did not "celebrate." as some of the relativen put It.
-
Mr. Wayt will celebrate his @ eighty-ninth birthday on May 30 and Mrs. Wayt will be 84 March 4. but they will be so many . "yours young" ' Instead of old, as their relatives and friends will verify. wbo mp them dally going about their bousebold and outdoor duties. It is true that Mre. Wayt stays in during the coldest weather, but no matter how wet or how cold, Mr. Wayt makes his usual trip to the postoffice for the mall, preferring to go after it to having it delivered.
WEDDING DAY RECALLED 1
Mr. and Hra. Wayt tell of the extremely cold weather of Iowa I when they were married 67 years Iago. when their wedding journey of 40 unico from the home of "her folke' to "his folke" was made In a sielgh. The bridegr .m wore a new pair of boots and they were so that that 's had to run behind the „frigh part of the way to revive cir- cula:lon. Needless to say, when the toride and groom reached their des- [Ination. they were almost too cold and tired to enjoy the big party which had been arranged for them.
IOWA FIRST HOME -
After their : marriage Mr. Wayt and his bride. visited his people for A few days and then went back to her home where they remained un- -
til spring when they moved to Mar- ion, lowa, and Mr. Wayt resumed teaching school, having taught be- fore ble marriage. His school this lime was' in Benton county, Iowa.

About 1878 Hr. Wayt decided to go west and resided for 16 years . In Nebraska and Kansas, where he ilived on farms the most of the time: ;during this time, Mr. Wayt was ' called to preach and was active In this service for 10 years, for which he received in compensation for the entire time. 4:00.
