For once Mrs. Edwin Dana de-

her daughter to the son of her dear
est friend was kept an absolute Sc
cret. Tenderly triumphant letters
went from Danavale to Detroit and
Detroit to Danavale, but the colony
itself had only surmises and the
public was in ignorance.
It was to be a rather long en-
gagement-until Sarah Lynn was
walking normally-and the wedding
would be the simplest and quietest
possible. She fed her fancy upon
that. There had been enough pub
icity before to pollute reticent
lifetime. She shaped the notice she
herself would send to the papers:

of Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin Dana of

A large white oak tree in Athens,
Ca, is known as "the tree that
owns ITSELF" The ground on which
the tree stands was once owned by
William H. Jackson, a professor at
the University of Georgia. He was
born about the close of the Revo-
lutionary war and was the father of
James Jackson, who was chief JUS
tice of the State Supreme court at
the time of his death in 1887. Pro-
fessor jackson was so fond of his
oak tree, states a writer in the In
dianapolis News, that about 1920 he
wrote deed conveying to the tree
full possession of itself and the land
on which it stands. The original of
this so-called deed is not matter of
record and it is not probable that it
was ever registered. According
to a well established tradition it
was to the following effect:
"I, William H. Jackson, of the
county of Clarke, state of Georgia,
of the one part, and the oak tree
defining the location) of the county
of Clarke of the other part: Witness,
that for and in consideration of the
great love I bear this tree and the
great desire to have for its protec-
ton for all time, I convey entire
possession of itself and of the land
within eight feet of it on all sides.

Giant White Oak Tree in Georgia Now
Known as "the Tree That Owns Itself''

Of course a tree, like other chat
tells and things, can not legally own
property, but Jackson's admiration
for the tree led him to adopt this
means of preserving it after his
death. His sentiment has been re-
spected. However defective the
trees title may be in law, it is rec
ognized by the people of Athens who
cherish and protect the tree as if
it were "a freeholder" of the city.
Soon after the beginning of the
Twentieth century a private citizen
at his own expense had granite
posts connected by chains placed
around the jackson oak for its pro-
lection, and a white marble block,
inscribed with part of the words of
