Ifone. s When the store of the Kunderburk Company wan opened Thurs* day morning the discovery was 1 made that the rear door was al. * ready open. An investigation f showed that the till had been 3 broken open, and an old pursr & containing $1 57, the only money * left in the till the night before, B was missing. Suspicion pointed s to a small negro boy, Joe Bridges, son of Bill Bridges, who liven near town.

An OIff Landmark at Klyin?A Tree With a History. j An old black jack tree, with a { historv, that RtandB on the side of the road at Elgin has just been honored by two thoughtful and appreciative citizens of the com. 1 munity, Messrs.

The tree in question, having for many years been used to support the "paper box" of the Hunters, Shavers and Baileys aud others, has tor generations been called the "paper box" tree, and even | to this day is so designated. On i account of its associations, we are told that Sheriff Hunter never passes the tree without lifting his hat. The tree'R age is not known, out it has probably been standing for 100 years or more.
