THE SACRED 30 TREE.
One of the Most Wonderful Natura
Grovths Ever known.

One of the Most Wonderful Natural
Growths Ever known.
In October, 1887, the sacred DO tree,
at that time supposed to be the oldest
living vegetable monument on the
earths surface, was uprooted and de-
stroyed by a cyclone which swept over
the island of CeylOn. The oldest writ
ten description of the sacred DO tree
now In existence is that by the cele-
brated Chinese historian, Fa HAN,
who visited the island and the sacred
tree in the year Ala A. d. According
to this learned Chinaman, the tree was
at that time 702 years old, having
been planted in the year 298 before
our era by King Devinipiatissa.
AS soon as it was known through
out the island that the tree had been
destroyed by the fury of the elements
great crowds of mourners gathered
around its sacred remains" and held
regular funeral services for two or
three weeks. After the season of
into proper lengths, each piece
wrapped separately in white cloth and
cremated with the same funeral rites
which would have been given mem
Der of the royal family.
So persisted the sacred DO tree, one
Of the most wonderful natural growths
known to the world-a tree which had
been worshiped daily, one might al.
most say hourly, for 2,175 years.

REAL ESTATE MUCH IN DEMAND
Values in Americus Still Growing
Rapidly.

Values in Americus Still Growing
Rapidly
For the business year" just ended
Americus real estate men looked back
yesterday upon very successful sea-
son. Realty of every class; residence,
store, city and country property is in
demand and any offering at a bargain
is quickly taken. The new improve
ments throughout the city have been
greater during the year just ended
than for years before. Many res
licences above the average cost
and standard of comfort and conven-
fence have been built, new neighbor-
hoods have been established, of hand
some residences surrounded by beau
tiful lawns, fronting on splendidly
paved or tiled sidewalks. Rents have
been well maintained. While many
new residences have been built, no bad
effect has resulted. There seems to be
a tenant for all places vacated, unless
specially undesirable because of loca-
tion or condition.

tell Russell, brother of Walter
Russell we'll known in this city.
The missing man was the pastor
of christian church and started
to his old home in Wisconsin on
a business trip expecting 10 soon
return to his charge. The last
heard of him he took that train
on the Pennsylvania abroad
which met with such a horrible
wreck last July. Those killed
were so badly scalded and man
glee as to be unacceptable and
others who did escape alive were
crazed with horror and their
intense suffering a part of them
wandering off throug the woods.
The young man was muc attach
ed to his young wife and a lover
of home. Every effort was made
by the family, and his congrega-
ton to find some trace of him,
with no evai1.
All given him up as a dead ex-
cept the young wife who still
hopes against hope and at her
request we call attention to her
loss. The young man was fair
complexion medium height and
slender, and we'll educated. He
may have lost his identity. Any.
one conveying any clue of the
missing man to his wife will con.
fer a lasting favor. Address
