A Long Missing Girl

The Rome Courier of the 25th ult. [May 25], says that about seven years ago a 
little girl named Long was carried from Polk County to Atlanta to be treated 
for some disease of the eyes.  She was successfully treated, when two men named 
Garrett volunteered to carry her back home, and took charge of her.  Instead 
of returning her home they carried her to Alabama, where they kept her in 
ignorance of friends until recently when they ran away for abducting another 
child but before leaving they wrote to the sister of the girl, Mrs. Scott, 
living near Stilesboro, Bartow County, informing her of the whereabouts of 
her long lost sister.  Mrs. Scott immediately sent for the girl and returned 
with her through Rome.  The girl is almost a grown lady now, and the strange 
incident of her life affords a basis for a thrilling novel.
