| Joking the Governor |
| On Thursday last Governor
Brown left this city for Macon {Macon &
Western RR}, alone in the Superintendent's car from the State
Road {Western & Atlantic RR}, which
was attached to the Macon train. Some distance below Griffin --
probably on down grade -- the Governor's car became detached from the
train, and was left some ten miles in the rear before the accident
was discovered. On the train returning to hitch on again, the coupling
cold not be found, and a pair of trace chains from a farm near by
yielded to the exigency, and the Governor was thus enabled to go on
his way -- reflecting. On arriving at the Macon depot, the boys
pronounced the Governor a heavy man. |
