An Old Walnut Tree.

Everybody in the county knows the old
walnut tree that stands at the intersection
of the four principal streets of Statesboro,
facing the court House Square. Ii has
withstood the storms of summer and
blasts of winter for 100 years. IL is, in
deed, the ancient landmark in the town.
Gray haired men OF the presen. tell OF
shetering themselves from the summer
sun when they were little children: aud
the old walnut tree still stands TO shelter
their children. Generations have come
aud gone, but the old tree still raises its
limbs and leaves against the cont ending
elements, and bids fair TO give shade to
the generation to come. Tradition says
that il was planted there as corner-tree
of the celebrated Primrose land. As
everybody knows, the Primrose land
claims used TO trouble the people OF the
county; but the people many years ago
prevented their clerks from recor ling any
of the bogus titles. aud so finally the
Primrose claims were n thing of the past.
1t was in the woods then. but the tree is
now in the center of town, and every day
some horse or mule whites away his time
while his owner is trading in the store.
The old walnut" tree is dear to the citi-
zens of the town. in which they see an
old-time friend. Long live the old wal

Obtaining a two-foot rule, the writer
found that the old paddock was exactly

out of a heavy iron bar, was an inch
and half in diameter.

extraordinary dimensions being used
