In Kansas City They Decide to Tramp
Back to PennsyIVania.

This country can boast Of Ms full
share of male Iramps, but lhis
county (Luzerne) can boast of two

Wilkesbarre dispatch to the New

Three years ago George Griffith

in Port Griffith, this county, for
Kansas City where they hal Sc

for Il year or two they returned to
their old home here and married
two sisters named Hes,ler. TIE
brakemen took their brides To
Kansas City, where they lived un.

AIRY last Griffith was killed IN a
railroad wreck, aud he lett his

city, but his wife did not know
where he had gone. The sisters
now found themselves in the midst
of poverty and among strangers.
They lunged for their old home in
Pennsylvania. They wrote to rel
ativeS here for money to pay their
car fare back, but the relatives
were poor, and could not afford the
money. One of The sisters then
went TO work as chambermaid in
a hotel. The other tried her hand |
at work in "A button factory. But !
Mrs. Heller found that the close |
confinement of the factory would /
not agree with her health. She
therefore had TO give il up. This
IlisheaItened the other sister. Both
continued to pine for their old
home.
One evening the two sisters got
together aud they hit upon the
novel idea of dressing UP in male
attire and lramplng home. They

trail at Teunille, making a short line to this
city, says that it viii require the building
Of thirty miles of railroad through a level
country TO give Athens the air line outlet
to the sea
The distance from Athens to Tennille, on
the Central railroad, is about 20 miles, and
roads are built on over 40 miles Of it.
% wit: from Athens by Union Point to
White Plains, and from Tsnnille, due north
IL miles. to Warthen, on the Augusta, Glib
son and Sandersville railroad, leaving gap
Of about 30 miles between Warthen, Sparta
and White Plains-which Is q high, level
divide or ridge between the waters Of the
Ogeechee and Oconee rivers, without a
branch or hill to cross between Warthen
and Sparta.
The country through which the pro-
Jected line passes Is very fertile, and its in
habitants are industrious and intelligent
people, and they are willing to give rights
OF way and contribute all they can TO have
the road built. The cotton exchange and
board Of trade should take steps to arrange
the building of this road SO as to open up
more territory for the business men to ope-
rate in.

The mention of Tybee, as the thermometer
now stands. may send a chill through our
blood. But it must not be forgotten that
the weather of last week will occur again
very soon, and then Tybee's refreshing.
cooling breezes will be pleasant to think Of
and to anticipate. There are but eight
short weeks in which to make preparations
for the summers residence Those who
have even neglected to buy the lot will find
that the longer they wait the more thew

Plans for their Reception and Enter
tainment Being Made.
A meeting of citizens. presided over by
Mayor Schwarz, was held in the long room
Of the city exchange yesterday afternoon
to take action looking TO the entertainment
of the Ohio farmers who will visit Savan-
nah day after tomorrow.
The cotton exchange was represented, and
John Z. Young, president of the board of
trade, was also present. The subject was
discussed by several gentlemen, Major
G. M. Ryals, Col. w. W. Gordon,
4. ID. oodworth, John A
Young, G. f. g. Fell and others, and as
a result the mayor was requested to confer
with General Passenger Agent Charlton Of
the Central, and have him communicate by
telegraph with Emigration Agent Glessner,
who Is chaperoning the party. and learn
from him what programme will be accepta-
BILE to the visitors. The meeting adjourned
at the call Of the mayor.
II 1t rs agreeable to the Ohioans, it is
quite probable that joint committee from
the cotton exchange, board Of trade, city
council, and the truck farmers, will be ap-
pointed to entertain them by a drive to the
nearby truck farms, to points of interest in
the city, including the wharves of the two
great railway systems OF Georgia, followed
by an excursion to Tybee Island, and an
oyster roast at the beach.
There are about thirty in the party, Of
whom about one-fourth are ladies. A
pleasant reception awaits the visitors here,
and the only regrets are that their stay will
be so brief and that they come in the wake
OF the cold wave, which has blasted the
early vegetables and retarded the growth
of later varieties.
'If they will come back a month later, "
said Maj. Ryals at the meeting yesterday,
'they could hardly believe we had xii ling
frosts, as new crops will have grown into
as great perfection as those first destroyed.
We can show them the soil which is capable
of such great results"
