force. The rear platform was torn off
and the flooring wrenched from its
fastenings. The crew was not injured,

AUGUSTA LOCALS.
Three Stages.

Act /.
Signing like a furnace,
over ears in love.
Blind in alteration
OF this lady's glove,
Thinks no girl was ever
Quite so sweet as she,
Tells YOU she's an angel
Expects you to agree.
Act II.
Moping and repining,
Gloomy and mOroSc,
Asks the price of poison.
Thinks he'll take dose.
Women are so tickle,
Love is all a sham.
Marriage is "A failure.
Like Il broken dam.
Act III.
Whistling, blthe and cheerful,
Always bright and gay.
Dancing, singing, laughing
All the liveiong day:
Full of fun and frolic,
Caught In FASHIONS whirl.
Thinks no more of poison
Got another girl!
