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.
