We notice that Judge Harrell
has had a biil passed through the
House allowing railroads to be
bonded at $3,000 per mile. This
is evidently in the interest 'of the

pay,-me think, to take the chances

more seeds than usual or during a
favorable season. The oat crop is
really the most profitable that can
be raised by tbe Southern planter,
and he should take all the chances
for securing it that are presented.

Pleasant in delivery, happy in ex

bear them. Wo only regret that
he does not oftencr visit Americus,
and cannot help but think tttftikhe

A Night of Runaways.
Thursday night as Mr. H. C.
Bagley was driving home his horse
ran ! nto a pile of dirt thrown up
from a sewer by Harrold, Johnson
<Sc Co’s, warehouse. The embank
ment was three or lour feet high,
and in going over it the horse fell
down. Mr. Bagley endeavored to
get eat of the buggy, but tho horse
sprang to its foot/ throwing Mr.
Bagley ont and rightlngtbe buggy,
which was partly turned. Fortu
nately Mr. Bagley landed in the
soft dirt without injury. The
horse sthrted on a' run for home,
but took the railroad track where
it crosses Troupe street, until it
got in a heavy cut, when it tried
to get out, but fell down on tbe
track in such a way that it could
not get up. Just then the night
train left the depot for Anderson-
villc, and had it not been for the
tiupel^ arrival of seme negroee j.be
horse and buggy would havu been
demolished.
While the negroes were getting
Mr. Bagloy’s horse aut Mr. Pope’s
horse ran away and landed in tbe
embankment, and it was with diffi
culty that both were rescued in
time. Mr. Pope is a sewing ma
chine agent, and was just return
ing home. *
Mr. Bagley’s baggy was made by
Oliver & Oliver, and alter being
dragged two miles only bad the
shafts broken, tbe scat knocked oil
and tbe dash-board bent back,
whicb is a fitting testimonial of
tbe worth of the buggy.

Thursday night, on the Wiley
place, fifteen miles southwest of
