curely on Truck Frame of Car.

FITZGERALD, Ga.-Hoboes come
and go on the railroad trains, but those
Of the fowl variety are a rarity.
The first hen hobo in the knowledge
of railroad men was discovered the
other night when an A. B. & A. train
rolled into Fitzgerald. 1t was perched
securely on the truck. frame OF a box
car which was picked up at Nichols
the same night. 1t was taken into Gus
tody by Inspector Virgins.
Once before, on the same road,
chickens were seen riding on the rods
OF an express car, having escaped from
a coop in the train.
The poultry industry is growing to
such an extent in south Georgia at the
present time in the opinion of railroad
men that hens are taking night rides
on freights, The Inauguration of night
service on passenger trains short
time ago has proved equally as popu-
lar with people who like the chicken
dinners for which south Georgia is IA
nous.
