Shuford mill ofiiee, were being" cut down today -making room for prog ress. They were taanong the last reminders cf the time when Hickory was a forest primeval, when the wild turkey and deer roamed over thf hills and through the forest and of few score years earlier when the Ca tawba Indians yielded slowly to th advance of the white man. These two oaks one white? anI the other red have been allowed to stand while ail about them new build ings have gone up, cement sidewalks have been laid and bitulithic poured on the streets- The late Abel A. Shu ford, who prized them for their sim ple grandeur, halted the destroyer's exc during the many years that his office was in the olel building to the rear, and his son, A. Alex Shuford, strove also to spare them.
