Happy Hunting Ground.
That it was the happy hunting

a few years ago when excaiatious
were being made for a road and
the skeleton of a huge redskin was
uncovered. A wonderful, physical
specimen, experts stated that, the
warrior had been a man of more
than ti ft. 6 inches in hrighth.
Known many years ago on liel-
den's I‘oint. it gained its present
name when a man named Wilson
married one of the daughters of the
hidden family and became owner of
the property there. At the present
time the .tract is a line residential
section. Acquired by tho Wilson
l‘oint Company In 1920, more than
200,000 bushels of oyster shells
have been laid to make up the
white shell roads. Fine residences
have been erected and along the
old road with its picturesque set-
tiiu: of trees and rolling grounds,
studios and artistic homes have
been built.
Its nppcai to the aesthetic eye is
evidenced by the number of artists
who have settled there. A unique,
and quaint feature of the spot is the
