The Congressional race in this
district as between Judge John D.
Stewart and Hon. N. J. Hammond
promises to be an exciiting one.
Mr. Hammond will get Fulton and
DeKalb sure, giving him ten votes
to start with. At present his friends
claim Walton, and should he carry
it be will be irttw’o votes of the nom¬
ination. Judge Stewart will carry
Spalding, Henry, Clayton, Doug¬
las, Campbell, and Newton—giving
him twelve voles. This throws tiie
battle field in Rockdale and Fayette
both of which it will be necessary
for Stewart to carry to heat the race.
It is thought by some that Ham¬
mond will lose Walton, but that he
would take Newton, coming into
Rockdale and Fayette two votes be¬
hind. Should he fail in carrying
either Rockdale or Fayette he will
certainly be defeated as fromthe pres¬
ent outlook one or both will be ab
solutely necessary’ to his nomination.
At the last he carried this county
by a very small majority and it re¬
mains to be seen whether he has lost
or gained since his lastrace.

Messrs. John and Bob Day re¬

trapping expedition, in Alabama.
They left last November and have
been busily engaged since that time,
except about a month during the
coldest weather. They caught 72
beavers, 15 otters and other small
varmints in profusion. The pelts at
a reasonable price will bring between
four and five hundred dollars. They
killed an immense amount of small
game.
Now is the time to get your fur

Some few years ago an up Geor¬
gia county man captured a buzzard
and tied a small bell to its neck, and
in all probability told it to go forth
on its tinkling mission. This
said buzzardsbip has frequently
been seen in various parts of the
country. Its appearance in some
localities of Georgia created more
or less consternation. Since every
body has become acquainted with
the fact that a belled buzzard is
abroad in thdland there is no spe
cialdread entertained as consequence
of its visitations. However, tbe
sky-scaling visitor was seen in this
county last week by Mr. Sam
imi.
