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.
