you want to work wonders, see
wonders or be in the wonder

wonders in a wonderful way.

LITTLE TIFTON GIRL
Tifton, Ga., Dec. 16—All Tifton
has been stirred with exceitement
to-day over the strange disapper-
ance of Ocis Davis, the lOy ear old
daughter of Mr . and Mrs. W. N.
Davis.
The little girl was sent to the
grocery store and market at 6
o’clock to get some thing for
breakfrst, when she mysteriously
disappeared.
The parents waited for the lit
tle one for some time, and then
began a search. Failing to find
their lost one, the aid of officers
was called, and a thorough search
made of the city and suburbs. At
11 o’clock nothing had been heard
of the child, and fearing that
some grave misfortune had be
fallen all the school boys were
excused and they assisted the
anxious parents in their search.
Shortly after noon a telephone
message was recived that the girl
boared thet Atlanta. Birmingham
Atlantic, early morning train for
Thomasville in company with a 16
year old boy wearing a gray suit,
and that they were put off at
Omega by the conductor, They
walked around the train and
boarded it again.
The conductor feared to put
themoff farther away from Tif
ton, and thought he would carry
the two to Thomasville and turn
them over tj the officers.
when the train reached Thomrs-
ville the two eluded the conduc
tor, and notnig futher has been
beared from them.
The anxious father left for
Thomasville this afternoon to as
sist in the search. At a late hour
last night the little girl had not
deen found.
The little girl has been fonnd.
She was at the home of her uncle
at Jiakin, Ga., and was safe and
sound.
Was It a Would-be Burglar?
Some'one, evidently a prowler,
entered the residence of Capt,
Dunn Wednesday night about 9
6 clock. Capt. Dunn was - Sown
town and the ladies .of the house
hold had retired. They, heard the
man plunering- around and when
they learned that Capt. Dunn had
;not returned they became alarm
ed and telephoned up town.
Deputy sheriff Hudson,. night
marsal Stanfield and others hur
ried to thq Dunn home, but the
mart, whoever he. was, has hur
riedly .departed, leaving ijd clew.
Miss Eunice Ragsdale, has re
turned'from Shorter College to
spend .the holidays at home.
