A BON TON PROFESSOR.
CUTS A WII E-WATH IN DOUGLASVII LE
SOCIETY, HE WAS THE LION OF THE
HBUR AND THE PLT OF MANY A
FLUTTIRING MAIDENS HEART.
Douglasville, Ga , August 2. —
There is a certain young professor
at Nrge whom th i papa's and big
brothers of Douglasville are very
anxious to interview.
In fact if he is looking forward
to a serene and unruffled future he
had better steer clear of the afore
mentioned little city.
Some time during the flowery
month of June a dashing six footer
with long drooping mustache ap
peared in Doglaeville and register
ed at the leading hotel as F. A.
Douglass.
The young man was the soul of po
liteness and his address was of that
Chesterfieldian order that won
at once the good will and courteoi s
attention of the hospitable people 01
the town. It soon leaked out that the
voung man was a real live professor
of decided literary tendencies.
He represented a historical publish
ing company that makes a business of
writing up towns, cities, etc , and in
that capacity he found no trouble in
captivating the “oldest inhabitant” as
Well as his most interesting family
He was continually taking notes of
all that he saw and heard, and Doug
lasville, booming as she is, expected
to realize an unprecedented rush of
investment seekeis as a resu’t of the
professor’s promised write up
Tne voting men took him in hand,
and after caie‘‘idiy inspecting hi» ref
ei-ences intr d eeu him 0 ‘heir tw et
hearts Then f we, the piofessor soon
found himself in a social “swing” that
was just too deligl tml R r anything.
Those who have visited Dougla. -
ville are ready at all times to vote
her young ladies the fairest and
most-charming outside of Rome
and Professor Douglass was natu
rally impressed. He was gallant
in his attentions to the young la
dies, and at all times made him
self charmingly agreeable.
He was a guest at nearly every
home in Douglasville, even calling
upon District Attorney Joe Janies.
When the college commence
ment rolled around he drifted by
force of literary Weight into the
judge’s chair. H re Douglass was
in his hall and his censorship on
the various degrees of merit won
for him many bewitching smiles.
Tiie young rian b ' this time seem
ed resolved on becoming a porma
n< nt resident, ai d singling out a
daughter of one of the most promi -
nent citizens of the nlace, a beautiful
and accomplished. o ng lady, sought
to pay her devoted attentions.
The young lady in question did
not appreciate the horn r it seems
and was Jisp wed to snub tiie pro
fessor.
Just at this juncture it bfgan to be
whispered that the gay young man
had a living wife It was not due
to the fact that he had offered such a
suggestion. The whisper was soft and
e isy at first and then they got loud
enough to reach the ears of the pro
fessor.
The result wes th%t be disapp
for a brief space and then turned up
again. The professor, of course de
nied the soft impeachment with all
the vehemence of his highly wrought
nature. Those who interviewed him
however, were not satisfied, and tak
ing advantage of a lull in the situa
tion the p’-offessor gently dropped out
of town.
Then the truth came with crushing
force.
It seems that the professor's first
departure from Douglasville was for
a purpose, He went to Austell and
there met a lady who claimed to be
his wife. She had come frem some
point in Alabama, ahd w’as on a dead
hunt for her wayward hus-iand. She
was en route to Douglasville, but it
appears that the professor turned her
back by st t rg that a very dangerous
type of fever was raging there. Al*
unmiudfnl of the danger himself he
then returned to Douglasville with
the hope of smoothing things over.
But they wouldn't smooth, and the
professor escaped just in time to
avoid heading a procession on a rail
He has since been discharged by
tbe publishing company and the good
people of Douglasville are quietly
waiting for him to turn up there again.

be election for Hamilton country

in a great state of excitement and

beer, maiiged by Mr. J. A. Hall as
editor, will be so ! d to Messrs Sea

A Knowles on the first of August
these gentlemen are well known

It is thought that Hon. Seaborn
W right will use the paper in his
behalf when he becomes a candi
date for congress from the seventh
d strict as an independent, against
Judge Maddox, who will be the
democratic nominee.
This rumor, however, is denied
by Mr. Wright’s friends who say
that he has controlled a large
share of the Tribune for the past
two years, and if he had desired
to become a candidate and allow
the paper to advertise him. he
could have done so long ago. The
present offices of the Tribune
will be moved to Third avenue,
opposite the Presbyterian church,
where Mr. Wright will remodel a
building for the express purpose of
operating a daily paper.
It is said that the paper will be
