Editor of the News' Like many other's with whom I have K ikd with upon the streets, I am strongly opposed to the cutting n our trees There is not another city in Geor gia. with the lo.cil.ij exception ol Savannah, which lias such treed as ours. Nor is there eineUier tow .ii: tho state in which trees could ne inert to grow. It is very doubtful if they can ever be induced to grow here again. They are a product of nature and it is possible that they would not respond toi cultivation We had better not risk it. It wo let them go we shall be very sorry soon afterwards and those wliot came after us may rise t:p and call us well, not exactly blessed.. I for one do not cant to incur the enmity of posterity. I*i this, as some (4 Inn tilings, I am “agin the government” and want to see them restrained 01 their destructive career. Nut only should they be enjoined from cut ting the trees by the post otiicc but they .should be made to let all the rest of our trees alone.
