forest when the Cherokee Indians roamed
these parts. No doubt many an Indian
warrior and his squaw, have rested under
It's outrageous limbs, when "old Sol sent
down his scorching rays The white pio-
neers, the first settlers of civilization, have
looked upon this tree and have passed
away to that borne from whence no trav

where the first log court house of this
county was built and has lasted until that
court house was removed and Just oppo-
site another Of brick and mortar was
built, more in keeping with the progressive
spirit of the age That grand old tree
has stood there as king of trees, until the
new growth of shade trees set out at a
later period have grown up into magnif-
icent spreading oaks, the pride of the park
and the admiration OF visitors The camp
OF armies, of grim visaged war, the "blue

boughs. Lovers have sat beneath it and
pighted their troth, and plotters of deeds
OF evil have congregated there. Could

young and elastic as youth, and had just
begun its journey.

The week of prayer held nightly at the
Presbyterian Church last week by the
Methodist, Presbyterian and Baptist men,
bership, proved to be very interesting and
profitable series of meetings. The laymen
participated largely and discussed the
different topics with ability. 1t was
source of deep regret that Rev. p. NJ. Ry-
burn was kept away from these meetings
by sickness. Rev. Mr. Tumlin officiated
one night, sickness in his family prevent
ing further attendance Rev. n. X.
Walker proved equal to every occasion
called on, and delivered some very power
full and eloquent addresses. Rev. DR..
Buttolph also gave some valuable talks.
The laymen who delivered addresses and
made interesting talks were Judge Geo. n,
Lester, B. R. Legg, R. N. Holland, j. z.
Foster, Mr.. Buchanan, D F. McC1atchy,
DR. P. R. Cortelyou and others.
DURING the holidays beautiful young
lady visited our town and couple of our
Marietta young men fell victims to her
charms. While here they were all atten-
ton, and there was everything done to
make her stay pleasant. The time came
when she must depart. She told her
friends that she would spend one day in
Atlanta and the next day following she
would journey homeward On that day
the Marietta young men were in Atlanta
to bid her good bye. She was on the cars
and as the last sad adieus were about to be
said, she begged permission to introduce
them to her husband, whom she had mar
ried in Atlanta the day before Tableaux.
