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.

I have, as you well know, never .Intended to have any of Mr. Speer’s letters of a private' nature made public. T would be as far from doing anch u thing as any man on earth. In fact, I think It would be an unpardonable offense: The letters that > I proposed to have published were strictly of a political nature. These letters are a part of his political tecord,' ind I contend than the voters tosirea perfect right to know hi* 'reo- ord nad that’said letters ore pul>lic prbperty. I can’t see how any man with *00* particle of honesty could object to his record being plated be fore his cohatftuents. When apollti- tirian deserts the party by . which be was placed in office I tMnk be should bo Exposed. Ibis was the only possi ble way in which Mr. Speer’s record could be brought to light. I was ' do- termlned that the people should not be led to his support by the belief that he had the Interests of the Democracy at heart. If I had not been deprived by law of the privilege of opening the eyes of the people of the ninth con gressional dtetrlct I would most oer- talnly have seen to It that every man, womans AM child in the district should have been afforded *n oppor tunity Of seeing these lettere. As it Is I #111 be forced to remain quiet so far fik'the tetters' are concerned, bat I don’t think MR Speer, the law, or anybody else, can keep the from talk ing without gagging me; - and they Will hahltydo tliat. If I have done wrong I certainly did not Intend it, and cannot fbr the life of me^ee it in that light. I do not regret anything that I have done in this matter, and I feel Bure that a very large majority of the people will agree with me that 1 have not only not committed a crime but have done nothing more than my plain dnty. Very respectfully, Henry P. Christy. i.I-H ---- » THB BUST BEE. Mr. J. E. Bradberry brought to our office Friday a backet of the nicest honey we have ever seen. He has a novel methed of gathering his honey, which is done by boring holes through tho tops of his gums over which he places inverted buckets. These are allowed to remain until they become completely filled, which is told by thumping; then by passing a knife between the gum and bucket, he has a bucket full of nice honey ready for transportation. By placing this buck et In a dark room with one or two light holes, any bees, which may have remained in the bucket, will leave immediately through these aper turea aud go back to the gum, leaving the bucket of honey free from He guarantees that there will be nei ther bee-bread nor young bees left in the bucket. With an outlay of nlmut twenty-five dollars last year to begin bee culture, he now has seventeen hives for which he would not take seventy dollars without the honey in them. Besides, he has sold to date twenty-five dollars worth of honey, and will soon have one hundred pounds more,ready for market. His honey readily commands twenty cents per pound while that prepared in the usual way brings only fifteen cents. To those who can bundle beer, there Is no Investment which will yield a better income in proportion to the la bor and capital Invested than bee- culture, Mr. Bradberry’s liees are a cross between the Italian and common Week bee; and are unusually'indus trious. ..» vn l •- LETTER EROM JACKSON. i JW the Banner- Watchman.
