The True Citizen.
WAYNESBORO, GA-, FRIDAY, OCT. 6, 1882.
Entered at the post office at Waynesboro, Oa.,
as second class matter.
OUR EXTRA.
The pressure upon our columns for
the past three weeks by our advertising
patrons has been ^ery heavy, and has at
last become so extensive as to use up
most of our space, and leave us little
room for reading matter. For this
reason we have determined to issue an
extra, that our subscribers may have,
their share of matter. We cannot afj
ford to let The Citizen fall off in any
foaturc, or dim its reputation for being
the best country paper in the State, we
shall therefore continue the extra as long
as the pressure bears on our columns.
Our ,< 'Steadily increasing subscription
list shows that the people appreciate
our efforts to make them a good, relia
ble, readable paper, and thanking those
who are and have extended to us so
generous a patronage, we are de'erm-
ined, that they shall not be disap
pointed—if one page wiil not give us
room, we will add until we do have
room. This week we shall hold back
the extra until Monday evening for the
purpose of obtaining and giving the
election news in full, but hereafter it
will be sent out with our regular edi
tion. We hope the time will not be
long before we shall be able to enlarge
aud improve The Citizen until it sh..U
be the neatest as well as one the best of
country papers.

MAR HI I. IX
In this city, on last Tuesday evening,
the 8d inst., at 7-1 o’clock, at he resi
dence of the bride’s fiber, Miss Tom-
mey McElnmrray and Mr. Charlie A.
Gray. Rev. F. A. Branch officiating.
All of Waynesboro.
'I ho beautiful bride is one of
Waynesooro’s lair, st flowers, she is the
eldes 1 daughter of our popular Ordinary,
Jud e T. .J. McElnmrray, and the
groom is the eldest >on of Mr. S. A.
Gray. Two voung hearts are united,
two young lives are blended, and hand
in hand they step forth upoi the stage
of action to assume the cares and re
sponsibilities of 1 fe, and together to
share the joys and sorrows that Destiny
holds in store tor them Young, ardent
an 1 with the sun of j«rosp»ri v beaming
upon them, it was truly a happy union —
a marriage made in Heaven. Truly do
we wi-di the young people all the hap
piness which falls to the lot of wedded
hve, and that not a cloud may darken
their sky of prosperity.
Thou hast taken vows upon thee,
L.,ni? and lasting as thy life;
Thou hast hiil fan-well to childhood,
And art now a trusted wife.
Mayest thou never know a sorrow,
Never si"h from cold neirloot;
May thy husband prove a fortress,.
To shield thee and protect;
May your lives, like morning clouds,
Mingle soft ly into one,
Floating onward, upward over,
Till your labor here is done ;
A id then may crowns eternal
Adorn each spirit brow,
Transcending f^r iu splendor
E’en thy radiant beauty now.
THE FOX It A CE.
A dispute has for sometime
been carried on between our young
friends ^MoKlnurray and Ilensolt, on
one side and Ed. Fulcher on the other,
in regard to the speed and bottom cf
their respective packs of houi ds. On
last Thursday morning a test was made
by joining the packs in a big race. Mr.
Fulcher was delayed, and did not get
his pack in until the fox was fairly up,
when they joined and ran beautifully
together. As the dispute was to de
termine the speed of the dogs, McEl-
Murray, Hensoll, Fulcher and Mr. R
A. Rhodes, who had been invited out
•o he fun. placed ihemselvcsa' every
possible point to see wh ch was alien. 1.
The fust time the pack crossed the
road, they were b d by McE murray &
Hensolt s black dog, Ball, and such
was the rt su t five times in succession ;
then came a change,and when next se n,
Fulcher’s white dog, Millie, was run
ning well in front, holding her posit rm
for three crossings. Th u B 41 again
took the lead, and made two crossings
ahead ; the fox then took to the dodge,
and was coppered and caught. Upon
summing up, the scores stood, Ball sev
en, Molly five The fox was caught
in one hour and a half after he was I
jumped. Both sides claim the “belt,”
and the boys will have to try it over.
—Mr. J. H. Wheeler, the energetic
Supervisor of the Augusta it Sav nnah
R. lb. has greatly improved and en-
larg d the cotton yard -t this depot, and
there is now room enough for all. He
has also had the yard enclosed so as to
protect the cotton from tin depredations
of the “town cows,” which wo think
puts our cotton men under obli'ations
to him. We understand that he is hav
ing the depots all along the line improv
ed and will soon have them in 1 apple-
pie order.
—We notice that our city fathers
are having the public well cleaned and
repaired, and an Acme pump stands
ready t > be put in to facilitate the rais
ing of the refreshing liquid. By this
time nejfrt year we hope to have an ar
tesian well to supply our people with
pure water from the vasty depths.
—Wimberly sells the best Whisky
in Waynes! ore.
— While in Augusta this week, we
had the pleasure of a walk through the
immense establishment of Day & Tan-
nnhill, and was aUriost amazed at the
exteiu of their atock. Every story was
crowded with goods, while their shops
were continually turning out new
work. Here we found every kind of ve
hicle. from the finest carriage to the
commonest cart. They ko* p on hand
an immense stock of whee's, hubs, and
indeed every article necessary for the
manufacture of any and all kinds of
carriages or anything that goes on
wheels, and lot us say to oui country
manufacturers that they need go no
further than Day & Tannabill’s to got
all they want in either quantity or
quality. Besides their stock of carri
age and wagon furniture, they have on
hand a large stock of bridles, saddles,
•beltings, and everything that is necesary
for plantation or machinery. In an
other column will be found the adver
tisement of these gentlemen, to which
we call the attention of our readers,
and say to them when they need any
thing in thoir line, send or go to Day <fc
Tannahill’s.
— Friend Lamar, of tlie Macon Tele
graph, don’t seem to understand the
habits of the rattlesnake ; if he did he
would know that this is the b'st, season
of the year for making a successful
hunt lor ‘ king Bell Tail,” as lie is now
reaving around hunting out his winter
quarters, and is now more spiteful and
dangerous than at auy other tune of
tho year. Moie than a doz n bus b cn
killed in this county during the past
two weeks.
