| A Whole Car for Our Governor |
| The Atlanta Confederacy relates the
following: |
| On Thursday last Governor Brown left this
city for Macon {on the Macon & Western RR},
alone in the Superintendent's car from the State Road
{Western & Atlantic RR}, which was attached
to the Macon train. Some distance below Griffin -- probably on down
grade -- the Governor's car became detached from the train, and was left
some ten miles in the rear before the accident was discovered. On
the train returning to hitch on again; the coupling could not be found,
and a pair of trace chains from a farm near by yielded to the exigency,
and the Governor was thus enabled to go on his way -- reflecting.
On arriving at the Macon depot, the boys pronounced the Governor a
heavy man. |
