REMEMBERS FRIENDS IN AMERTCUS
Former Citizen Sends MESSAGE in a
Box Car.

When employees OF an Americus
nouse were unloading a car of goods
a day or two ago they were not a
little surprised to find attached to = a
case of canned beef a letter addressed
to the head of the house. 1t was de-
Iiyered to him and opened, the con-
tents forming a rather romantic
story The writer was an old Ameri-
Gus boy who left here a dozen years
ago, and told of his marriage to
New York girl and of the happy fam
lily surrounding them. The writer is
now in the employ of a New York
packing house, and to him fell the
duty of loading the car for the Am
ericus grocery firm. This brought up
memories of Americas of the long
ago, and as the grocer here was a
personal friend the shipping clerk
tore leaves from his shipping book
and hastily wrote a long, jolly roll
licking letter in which he sent re-
CARDS to many other friends here.
1t was tackled to the box of canned
beef, and came as safely in the freight
car as if Uncle Sam had handled IL
in a registered letter.
