Another Landmark Will
Be Lost to Augusta

Another of this citys well-loved
landmarks is to be effaced, and its go
ing will be deeply regretted by a great
many OF the older residents. The beau
tiful grove of pine trees which for many
years has been known as Fuller 5
Grove at the upper end of North
street, has been purchased by lumber
man and is shortly to be cut down.
Beside the fine pines. the east side
of the hill is covered with majestic
oaks and these are also to be convert
ed into lumber and firewood. The small
boys will miss them, for many genera
tionS of Augustus youth have played
beneath the friendly trees, and learn
ed to swim in THE Ledge swimmin
hole.
The first crows will miss them. for
many years they have built their nests
in the big pines. and caWed of morn
inSS from the oak trees, and the gray
squirrels will miss them. for each fail
they have eXacted rich toll of acorns
from the grove.
The hill, which for more years than
most Augusta citizens can remember.
has been a beautiful spot from early
spring till it shed its autumn foliage
Of red and green and gold. will be q
drcarN sight when the saws and axes
have done their worst, and residents Iii
the vicinity deeply regret the necessity
Tor such action.
Tho hill grove got its name from thu
fact that the big Fuller observatory
once lowered from it's midst. and I,
bandstand was also one of the attrac-
tions, the grove having been utilized by
hundreds Of pictnic parties each sum
mer for years and years
