THB ATHXKB AND JOQ TAVERN atnanti,
We attended the meeting held at Jug
Tavern last Saturday in tiie interest of
tliis enterprise.auil it begins to look WV
as if tiie road would be built. Quite a
large delegation from Athens was^pres-
eqt.j jlje'left town about sunrisa^qfi
went over the proposed line, or as near it
>Cf we could, from this place to Jug Tav
ern, by way of Trilassee bridge. To one
who haa never examined thUjroute a
most agreeable surprise la inartote. In
the first place it p$^nts atevxcellent
line, with but little ^3S5^#hSlng and
only one br(dge. Leaving Athens by tiie
North-Eastern and turning off to the left
just beyond Linton’s, It runs through
his, Dr. Hunnicutt’s; Mr. Nicholson’s,
and Johnson’s land, and come but back
of Mr. Cox’s, near the old;
then turns across the A thanked J
son road to the river, striking it atTrilas
see. The line from the Athens and
Jefferson road to the river isjui uncom
monly good one# and baa been surveyed
already by Prof. Barrow. After leaving
the river it runs on a level ridge all the
way to Jug Tavern, there being only
one small spring branch on the route to
cross. Very little gradiitg is neidju on
this part of the line and in some places
almost none at all. The distance by this
route from Athens to Jug Tavern is
twenty-two miles.
But thecountrv through Which it runs
on the other side of the river is more of a
surprise tq'a stranger who rides through
it for the first time than the character of
the line. It is a country that in many
respets is almost untouched by tiie hand
of man. In many places yon travel for
miles through original forests of oak,
hickory and pine that there is scarcely
a stick amiss in. Here and there a shin
gle tree has been cut, but tiie great body
of the timber is there untouched. Tiie
pine timber suitable for sawing into
lumber is there in great abundance and
of the finest sort. There is nowhere
within fifty miles of Athens known to
os such a quantity of valuable timber
that can be reached and made available
by railroad.
Upon reaching Jug Tavern we found
a large crowd assembled with baskets
filled with the choicest of good things, a
considerable proportion of the ossem
bluge being ladies. First in order was
the organization of the meeting, which
was effected at once by tilt selection of
Robert White, Esq., of Jackson county,
as chairman, and Goodloe H. Yancey,
Esq., of this place as secretary. By re
quest, Capt. Barrow then explained the
.object of the meeting and gave some rea
sons why it would tie to the intereqt i of
fits -people of Jug Tavern to have this
road built. He was followed by Mr. R.
L. Bloomfield, who explained fully iri
satisfactorily tbe nature ot the enterprise
and demonstrated, as we think, conclu
sively that the road doulil be built and
It would pay. He went into a thorough
discussion of the advantages of a railroad
to the owners of the land lying on the
" route, and showed that with-
road. Jhey would uever.helyile

the demagogue, and whose democra

deceiver.
Such, Mr. Editor, is my reason for
again buckling on the political armor,
to the extent of addressing you this
communication, and such I firmly
believe will be the reason why every
true democrat in this district, includ
ing those; ;Who heretofore may have
been deceived through the false hopes
and promises of independentlsm, will
be found' nobly and successfully bat
tling this fall for the restoration of
true, honest and democratic repre
sentation from this grand old demo
cratic district ef Georgia. Now let us
inquire Into this all important matter
and see if I am mistaken in the prem
ises laid down,; or if injustice is here-
bjr-done Mr.'Speer? I Bee .from the
Macon Telegraph A Messenger, that
Mr. Speer In a .communication ad
dressed *to President. Arthur relative
to the appointment of Madison Davis
as postmaster at Athens,.advises and
recommends the appointment of Da
vis, upon the ground that it will do
much to build up the republican par-
$|Lin the ninth congressional district.
ilf-Hr. Speer is a democrat, or even an
independent democrat, as he claims,
or has claimed,' Kn*d which means
opposition to the republican party,
but what w£ arc why In the name or'cbinmdii sense

Again, why did Mr. Speer adopt the
heretofore unheard of and unprecedent

which be is said to have written and

which is done by boring holes through

twenty-five dollars last year to begin

hives for which he would not take

them. Besides, he has sold to date
twenty-five dollars worth of honey,

honey readily commands twenty cents
per pound while that prepared in the
