Tho railroad depot waa the scene of
qttifb a comedy last Tuesday night.
Mt.G* 8. Burr! a Kspected citizen
rtthis county, had Just taken the train,
dEfepbindvllle. HD friends had
bound
into requisitiofi, and wok at the depot
to aid In giving him a suitable “salufo.”
■IHMkppemH that Lieutenant (iovernor
Sayers was on they train bound south.
When the band struck up a lively air,
the Lieutenant Governor, thinking of
course U was his serenade, came for-
ward and commenced his speech by say-
ing: “Gentlemen, I am not prepared to
make a set speech. This surprise,
though it'unnerves me as to speaking,
certainly adds to my shartjof earthly
ppinces. Ijfifler with the o. a. on
the following poind—-1-*-.” Here the
genial Burr came to the front and with
a nH^eetie w ave of the 'haud, said:
“Stand booh, sir, tblshoom lsfor roe;
It is ndrie of yours. Proceed to boom,
boys,—-I’ll see that you are protected."
And the boon! proceeded as Gov. Say-
ers retired In confusion. It Is needless
to say that the “traveling public” en
joyed the mistake hugely. Scene of
