Laurens Girls Get tactical Education

Two of the college girls had quite
an experience in getting to the city.
Misses Ola Blakely and Irene Benja-
mine left their homes in Clinton, S. G :,
Monday night and should have gotten
here Tuesday and been ready to enter
Union Female College on opening day,
Wednesday, but they struck the big
storm and missed connections at At
lanta and had to stay there l3 hours
lt was raining then and they stayed in
the waiting room until the night train.
They got out of Atlanta and reached
Macon at 1880 Tuesday night, left Ma
con at O'Clock Wednesday morning
and got some distance beyond Byron,
and found a washout and had to go back
and stay hours at Byron. They got
away from there and went to Ft. Val
ley and there waited on account OF de-
layed trains and then started, got as
far as Montezuma, found a washOut and
had to back to FIT. Valley stayed there
from p. IN. Wednesday until 4:45 yes
terday morning. They came, by way
of Columbus and Union Springs and
arrived here at IL o'clock Thursday
noon.
This was an eveutful ride for the
young ladies, as they were all alone
but the conductors were very kind to
them and looked to their welfare. They
had but little sleep, only what they
could get In waiting rooms and on the
trains. Several others of the pupils
that started about the time they did
have not shown up, as the Georgia
train has not made through run on
account of several bad washouts.-

Johnsbury Republican.
1t will be remembered that. last
summer, Receiver Hale brought suit
in the Vermont circuit court to re-
cover the additional 100 per cent
from Vermont stockholders.
Vermont stockholders very sensi-
bly, resisted any such action and a
combination OF the majority of them
was effected to fight the case to the
bitter end.
The matter was left in the hands
of a committee consisting Of l.. Bart
Cross of Montpelier, S. E. Royce
of St. Adams, Henry Ballard of
Burlington, Walter L. Smith of St.
Johnsbury and Charles \. Prouty OF
Newport. This committee en-
ployed Young and Young of New
port to defend the suit.
Notices have Just been ISSUED to
stockholders that compromise has
been effected with the receiver
whereby a full settlement can be
effected by the stockholders paying
/, per cent per share. This settle.
ment will be completed April Ist.
