An OIff Landmark at Klyin?A

An old black jack tree, with a {

of the road at Elgin has just been
honored by two thoughtful and
appreciative citizens of the com. 1
munity, Messrs. T. B. Truesdale '
and A. K. Bailey. Tuesday even. '
ing these gentlemen thoroughly
whitewashed the body of the an- ;
cient oak and it now presents a |
neat and attractive appearance. (
For many yearn before the War (

in those days mail facilities
were very meagre, aud persous
[for miles distant had to lide toI
[some point on the old stage line '
I to Cannlen in order to get their
| papers or other mail, which would
, be deposited by the stage driver i
in the "paper boxes" along the '
road.
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.
