GEORGETOWN, Oct. IA lady re-
Gently resident Of this town, has left.
She did not get 'left, but some other
''residenters" did. Mrs Blank left town
in a novel manner and as it is her gen
eral mode Of leaving towns where she
has lived, her exit merits a short descrlp
tion. The lady Is of rather
romantic turn OF mind. Instead
Of leaving ina commonplace way by
going to the station and taking train,
she needs must, on dark, moonless
night hire man to take her and her
household effects to station miles dis
tsnt, from where she took the train the
next morning. Romance, not the saving
Of money, must have been the object, as
she is said to have paid the man $t5 to
take her that short distance.

their homes. A few women braved the
elements with gossamers and oyershoes,
with their skirts well tucked up, showing
rather an abundance Of ankles, shapely
and otherwise. But the majority Of the
women stayed at home passing the time
in novel reading few brave young men,
however, despite the very inclement
weather, went TO see some Of the fair
bellies last night.
