GOT LEFT.
That's What our Editor did When ho Yen
tured outside of Stanford.
Cincinnati, Nov. 12. There's many h
s'Jp 'tixt the cup And the lip, dear reader,
and may I ask if yon ever got left.
I do not mean politically for moat of you
did on the fateful first Tueadny lu November,
nor in love affairs for that la a
matter of course, but by a train and an
ordinary, every day train at that. If you
have you can possibly recall that hope
lesancss, that disgust and despair, which
are indescribable, but which once felt
can never bo forgotten. You see the
train pull out and run to catch it only to
see the gap between you and it grow and
widen. At last you give np the unequal
race only to be langhed Rt by the gaping
depot crowd, and out of breath you feel
inadequate to the duty of cursing the
railroad company as deeply and as dirt
fully as you think it deserves and too
mad to pay a hoy to kick you as you
really deserve for leaving the car. It is a
moment of supremest agony which intensifies
the more you realize how utter
ly helpless you are to help yourself.
These preliminary observations are
nrefatorv to a recital ol my own tale of
woo and will explain why I am in Cin
cinnati now instead of Chattanooga. To
make a long story short. I got left and
experienced all the conflicting emotions
I have attempted to describe above end
more besides.
It was like this. 1 bad btarted with
Mrs. W. and another Pearl of great price
to the Atlanta exposition and after eomo
trials and a few tribulations had gotten
aifar as Somerset. Five minutes for
refreshments was called out and seeing
some fruit temptingly displayed across
the etreet, I stepped aver to get some. I
sot it but alas! Excuse these tears. The
train had stopped less than three minutes
and had gone on its courso with my
charges unmindful of the desolation it
-was creating in my bosom. I rushed to
the telegraph office, explained the situa
tion and promised to follow on next
train. But there was no next train
South for 12 hours. Ashamed to go up
town and hoping by travel to drive dit
appointment and care away, besides
punishing the railroad company, I boarded
the first train North and here I am in
Ohio, awaiting the next trdu at 0:15 to
my charges in Tenneeoee.
This o'er trno story may bo and doubt-lass
is uninteresting, but if in telling it I
miy point a moral and adorn a tal, I
shall in Bomo degree be repaid for my
troubles. Railroad trains, like time and
tide, wait for no man, tbat Is to say no
man id my standing with them, and nei
ther death nor taxes is more certain than
that they will leave you if they get a half
chance. I hayo another object in writing
this and that is to say that people in
our section are practically cut off from
going to the exposition. To go by Knox
villa yon are out two nights and a day
and if by Chattanooga you have to take
pot luck. No through train for the South
stops in thi$ section except the one at
midnight which can be at June
tion City and there is no connection to
that under 12 hours. The train we started
on goes no further than Chattanooga
and takes a moderate eternity to do
that. The exposition may bo worth all
this time and annoyance to see, but of
that lean speak more dfiaitely in my
noxt, if I live long enough to get there.
What tho Cincinnati Southern lacks in
its servico to way passengerd, it niBkfs
up to the through, however. "Tno Ex.
paction Flyers" are solidly
trains of magnificent
and Mann palaces, which
glido over the well ballasted stoel
rtil like greased lightning in speed
and like flowery beds in ease and comfort.
These trains only stop at Lexington,
Somerset and Oakdalo in their journey
from Cincinnati to Chattanooga and
unke the!330 miles in about 10 hours
and Atlanta in some four more.
Clover EdJSberman, master of trains,
did his best to consolo mo in my misfortunes
and by sundry highly appreciated
favors laid me under additional obligations.
We are also indebted to Gapt. W.
N. Tunoy, a capital conductor, for kind
attentions.
If a bad beginning make a good ending,
I am dead in it, and bore's hoping
that if all in not well, It will end well.
But whether it does or not, I shall D. V.
tell about in next issue, notliirn
extenuating nor sotting down aught savo
unvarnished facta. W. P. W.
