"VIRGIN’S TREE” HA8 FALLEN.
The year 190S ho* been an eventful
year In Egypt In many waya, aaya a
rablegram from Cairo, but It will alto
serve to mark the tllaappearance of
one of the few early Chiiatlan rellca
the country poaseaaea. From time Im
memorial visitors, Impelled by curios-
ity nr by plou* veneration, have made
n point of trudging out to Matarleh, a
village about C miles beyond Cairo, on
the nnrtheaat aide, In order to have a
look at the "Vlrgln’a Tree," a sycamore
tree, under which the Virgin .Mary la
said to have rested during her flight
Into Egypt. Now the “Virgin'* Tree”
Is no more, having fallen on July 14.
The curious part about the venera
tion in which the tree has been held la
that It Is not the original tree which
afforded a shelter to our Lord, for It
is well known that it was planted to
ward the end of the seventeenth cen
tury. Tradition says that It sprang
from the seed of the original sycamore,
and the course of years has caused
(Ida fact to pass Into oblivion and re
placed It by the story that It Is the
original tree.
.Strange to relate, Moslems have al
ways evinced a great respect for the
"Virgin's Tree.” Ismail Pasha made a
present of It to the Empress Eugenie
when she came to Egypt for the open
ing of the Sues canal, nnd It Is owing
p> the Initiative of the present Khedive
iliat cuttings were some time back
taken from the sycamore. By these
means a fresh sapling can be obtained,
mill so take the place of the one that
has fallen, and. If It does nothing else,
it will mark the spot which has been
the subject of veneration of the pious
for nearly i.OOO years.

Will council, with Samuel Spencer
dead, confer upon him an honor to
which he objected while living'.'
Aldermen Holland 'and Hirach have
Introduced an ordinance, changing the
name of Madison avenue. Which the
Terminal station faces, to Spencer ave
nue. This ordlnnnce Is being looked
upon with great favor by council, and
there Is a strong probability that It will
be adopted.
It Is remembered that In 1903 a simi
lar ordinance was drawn up and Intro
duced by Alderman- Lallatte und.Coun-
dlmen Terrell and Harwell, the last-
named now an alderman. The ordi
nance, so the records show, was re
ferred to the committee on etreets
March Id, 1903. and nothing else was
ever heard of It.
The purpose of the authors was to
pay a fitting tribute to Mr. Spencer,
who, as the president of the Southern
railway, .had been the guiding and
moving spirit that led to the erection of
the Terminal station.
Mr. Spencer, upon hearing that such
an honor was planned, notified the com
mittee on streets that he strenuously
objected to the changing of the name of
the street; that Madison was a great
president of the United States and the
name should be retained as Atlanta's
memorial to him.
It Is stated, however, that Mr. Spen
cer's primary objection wns that he
didn't believe In the principle' of nam
ing a street after a living man.
Now that he has passed away It is
argued that It would be a fitting tribute
to have the street faced by the Atlanta
Terminal station officially named Spen
cer av*nue.

A GOLD MINj

Not to be dug from the bowels of Mother Earth, but
by systematic, intelligent farming in
South Georgia lands.

905 Acres of as fine South Georgia lands as
can be had. 225 Acres of a tract already under

where branches flow. About 700 Acres lie al
most as level as a yard.

A new railroad has recently been built'right through these
lands, giving a main stop in the midst of the plantation. A far

section cannot be found.
