One of our young lawyers, a few
days ago, laboring under; the impres
sion that his inamorata would leave
on the 12 o’clock train for Americus,
determined to favor her with an agree-,
able surprise. He went to/the depot
sometime before the hour of depart
ure, purchased a ticket to Americus,
and secreted himself in the baggage
car. When the train was nearing
Leesburg he left his hiding place and
proceeded. to the passenger conch to
surprise his fair friend. She was not
aboard, and it is said that his usually
solemn vUago was considerably elou-
gated. He returned to the city by the

Haralson, State Librarian, Kit ap
proached the prison door and was ad
mitted. After spending a oouple of
hours in conversation with Cheve-
Kit went to the door for the purpose of
going out* 'The jailor . was gone to
dinner, leaving another officer, wJio
did not know Kit.
“I want to get out,” said Kit.
“Of course you do. Ther ms a good

said, the officer.
