water, Mass, recently started fox,
to which their dog gave quick chase,
the party soon losing sight of the pair.
A week later, the dog still being miss
ing, was given up by his master, but
members of the party happening to go
the chase, found fox hole. The dog
had tried to follow the fox into this
hole, and had dug down about twice
his length, banking up SO much earth
behind him, however, that he could not
get out The poor brute, from whom
air had never been cut off, was soon
liberated and was found to be very

RAILROADS AND POLITICS.
A Few Interesting Dots from Emanuel
County.


SwAINsBoRo. June 1S.-For an inland
country town swainsboro can boast OF a
fair share Of exciting topics just now.
Usually her denizens are staid, sober and
quiet people, but al present they are en-
Unused TO an unwonted degree on several
momentous questions. First Of all is her
recently started railroad boom. which
bids fair To eliminate successfully. The
railroad Of Messrs. Donovan 4 Perkins,
wealthy mill men, runs from Wad-
ley, on the Central Road, to
point within ten miles OF this
place. Being anxious 10 have railroad
communication with the outside world a
meeting was recentlyheld for the purpose Of
formulating proposition TO be made 70 the
above firm, looking to the extension Of
their road 10 SHainsbOrO. Our euterpris-
ing merchants. and citizens generally, re-
sp0nded promptly TO the call, and, later,
another meeting was held, at which
Messrs. Donovan and Perkins were both
present. With commendabie zeal
for the building up Of our beauti-
full little town, these gentlemen
obligated to bear an equitable portion
OF the expenses necessary TO construct
and equip the road. Our citizens ac-
cepted their offer. and at once made up the
on the work, and a civil engineer from
your city is now at work, with plenty Of
help. surveying the route. so you may
put II down as a fixture that SwainsbOro
viii, ere the ides of January, have rail-
road connection with your own enterprls-
ing and prosperous city.
The second topic OF interest here is the
universal theme-p0litics. We have al
ready elected delegates to the Congress
Il
Adams friends carried the day here for
him. BradwelFs supporters made stub
born fight. but yielded gracefully when
they saw no chance for their fayOrite.
Judge Adams made lasting friendships
in this county while holding court here
in the spring. His rulings were SO just,
and his conduct so courteous. that he cap
tured the people, and they resolved to sup
port him for Congress, provided he en-
tered the field. Of course there are other
good men in the race, but Emanuel's
choice is Adams first, last, and all the
time.
Next to heinterestin the Congressional
race comes our local affairs. For the
position Of Senator for the Sixteenth
Senatorial district there are four or five
candidates, but the fight has narrowed
itself down between Judges J. p. Pughs-
ley and Geo. 5. ROuntree, with the chances
in favor Of the former.
For Representatives and county officers
candidates are as thick as blackberries in |
June.
Col. Walter II. Livingston. of our bar,
is a candidate for Solicitor General of the |
Middle judicial circuit, with fair pros
poets Of success. He is an able lawyer,
an upright citizen, and gentleman.
Crops are very fine, and the people gen.
orally are in good spirits.
