SCHOOL LAND TIMBER SOLD
Board OF Supervisors Disposes of
County's Interest in Timber.

Important action of general interest
was taken by the Board Of Supervisors
at their October session. This was in
the matter of the sale of the mer-
chantable timber Of township6 of sec
tion Is, range west. The buyer Of
the timber was Mr.. NJ. NJ. Hull who
has saw mill near Ovett. The tim
ber was sold at 80 per acre and the
total sum being 5,760

veys It's interest TO Mr. Hull the coun-
ty expressly declaring that in the con
yeyance it is plainly set out that
there is no warranty, either general
or special by the Board Of the property

In recommending the purchase Of
timber and the lease of the land
County Attorney Deavours recon-
mended favorable action by the Board.
Ia his communication to the Board,
Attorney Deavours says
az am advised that the timber on
said section, with clear title there
TO. Is worth more than the price offered
by Mr.. Huh therefor, but in view of
the fact that litigation is now pending
In reference to said 10Th section in
this state, am decidedly of the opin-
ion that the proposal of Mr.. Hull is
IN advantageous one for the county
and | recommend to the Board of
Supervisors that il be accepted
Under the agreement Mr.. Hull is
granted the right to enter upon the
land at any time within period of
len years with the right to construct,
operate and maintain logging roads.
The Board also approved the action

vogue these latter funds are loaned on

IN moWOIy VI luo
greatest tragedy on Golgotha, and pro-
cessions are solemnly marching to the
stations of the Cross, bearing banners
and crucifixes, and bowling reverently
before affairs and pictures commem-
Grating the sorrowful walk to Cal
vary; when in the Holy Land thou
sands of pilgrims from every nation
are treading the very "Via Dolorosa"
on which he trod as he left the Holy
City forever, carrying his cross to the
"Accursed Hill" outside the walls; 1t
may be OF interest to consider the his
tory and traditions Of this wonderful
symbol under which we live and in
wrought of worldwide good to hu-
manity, anc, alas! of great harm
through Christian fanaticism.
Perhaps there is no other object on
earth about which there has been
more controversy, more discussions
and more superstitions than about this
one great object for reverence on the
ono side, and for derision on the other.
Ever since the cruc1f1x1on it has
left a strong impress on the history of
the nations and has been revered in
the religion of all the sects bearing
the name of Christ. 1t has been sur
rounded by traditions and mysticism
and endowed with supernatural and
miraculous attributes. 1t has been ta-
ken as the emblem of a faith under
the banner of which great deeds of
heroism have been done, as in olden
days when pioneer messengers of the
Story OF the Cross filled with religious
zeal entered bravely into uncivilized
and barbarian lands, fearlesly ignor-
ing great dangers.
Heralded by Christian banners the
procession Of civilization has spread
to all parts OF the world. Romans car
r1ed 1t to the Britons and Saxons. The
worship of the sun as observed by the
Incas was brought to an end through
the ascendancy Of Spanish bearers of
the cross.
Being the keynote and the glory"
of the Christian religion this emblem
soon became priced in other directions
besides those ecclesiastic. With tho
triumph of Christianity the cross at
once was recognized as universal
symbol of highest nobility and honor.
It was now considered to add dignity
to the crowns and scepters Of emper.
orr and princes. 1t became the proud
