ment Of pastors in certain rare instances.
The report stated that there were in the

SPARE THE TREES,

The contemplated move of the county
commissioners to cut down the shade
trees around the court house has raised a
storm of indignation among the citizens.
If the voice of the people amounts to my
thing the trees will still stand. Petitions
were circulated through the city today
and nearly everybody signed. There We're
few persons who objected to the trees
because of the expense of trimming them
each year, but the majority of persons
strongly protested against their removal
The commissioners stated their desire TO
know what the people thought on the
matter and 1t Is their probable intention
to abide by popular sentiment. Popular
sentiment, as far as heard from, seems to
be about unanimous in favor of the trees.
