GEORGE J. HAFFNER, B. & o. ticket
agent at Columbus, and heretofore a
trusted clerk in the employ of the CON-
pany, has been relieved from his posi-
tion because of his alleged intimate re-
lations with young woman in Barnes
vile, not his wife. The intimacy which
caused the trouble in the family began
last summer when the couple were to-
gether at Burr's Mills Camp Meeting,
and was of such an ardent character as
to lead this gay Lothario to not only
transfer his affections, but to give his
wife's jewelry to the siren in Barnes
vile. The lady in the business is said
to be about nineteen years of age, black
hair, blue eyes, rather prepossessing in
appearance, and to have an as" at the
front end of her last name. The indis-
cretion on the part of the husband, who
it is said until the development of this
affair, was not known to have any IT.
regular habits, has caused separation,
the wife packing up the household goods
and leaving for the home of her friends
at West Jefferson.

which he was surrounded during the

that he was compelled to take his bed
