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. 'y y . COUNTY ELECTION.

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.
