WAG READ BY SISTER
Special to The Georgina.
Macon, Ga., April 1.—Thera I* now
another chapter of the story of the 14
year-old girl, Ida lllsland, who was
brought to Macon from an orphanage
at Water Valley, Miss., and who ran
away from her employer*.
In tho early part of laat month Mr.
Wetherstone reported that Ida had run
away from hla home In Vlnavllte.
few days later she waa heard of at a
home for the friendless. Then the la
dles governing the home secured
place for Ida at the Methodist Orphan
age and she waa to start next morning.
In the meantime a family In the nelgli
borhood desired very much to take the
girl and raise her as one of the family,
but arrangements having been com
pleted to take her to the orphanage the
. offer waa declined. On the night pre.
vloua the girl secretly left the home and
was found at the horns of the family
that wanted her. ,
Mr. Wetherstone, who* felt as though
he was responsible for the girl, wrote
to the Water Valley orphanage with a
view to returning her to that Institu
tion. It was then learned that he or
phanage had been burned and he In
mates scattered.
The girl herself wrote to the old
home, but received no reply.
Recently a married sister of the girl,
at Mr*. Evans, living In Atlanta, vis
ited Water Valley, and while there saw
the girl's letter begging to return to
her old home, and this was the first
news of her young sister's whereabouts
In two year*.
Mrs. Evan* returned at once and
came direct to Macon, where the two
sisters wars reunited, and went away
to Atlanta, where Ida will now find a
home.
