Georgia's Giant Sycamore Tree.

Dougherty county now lays claim to
the champion big tree of Georgia. 1t
was discovered several weeks Q by
employees of the Red Cypress Lumber
company who were engaged in cutting
timber. 1t rears it's head from the
midst of a thick swamp where hard
wood trees abound, and to this is due
the fact that it was moi discovered
sooner
This giant of the swamp is a syca-
more. 1t is on a little knoll, and, ex-
cept in seasons when a great deal of
rain had fallen, it's trunk is not reached
by water. A foot from the ground its
trunk is "A feet in circumference. For
20 feet above the ground the body of
the great tree is round and symmetric-
al, but at thai point it branches into
four sections, any n of which would
make a giant tree if standing alone.
The four arms of the big sycamore do
not spread out, as would seem natural,
but reach skyward, almost perpendicu-
larly. The tree is pronounced by all
who have seen it a curiosity and places
