The Coutract.
Below we publish the cpnlract be¬
tween Athens and the Rich¬
mond & Danville railroad company
from the daily Banner. As appears
below is the contract in brief, which
is not to be submitted to the people
to be acted upon as was first re¬
ported—learned lawyers having ad¬
vised the council that they had the
right to transfer this property, just
■ the same as any other property of
the city.
“The City of Athens transfers to
the Richmond & West Point Termi¬
nal Company one thousand shares
of Northeastern railroad stock. In
consideration whereof, the sa'd Ter¬
minal Compnav agrees:
To extend the Northeastern to
Clarkesville by January 1st, 1882;
to Tallulah Falls, by July 1st, 1882,
and to Clayton or some point near
it, in five years, or soonerif there b e
a reasonable probability of a con -
motion through by railroad, from
there to Knoxville, Tenn.
This company does not agree to
begin the extension at Lula, but re¬
serves the right to begin it at any
point it shall conseder most eligible
between Lula and Mt. Airy, If the
Air-Line should ever go out of the
control of the Richmond 3: Danville
the latter pledge themselves to build
a separate road for the Northeastern
from Lula to the road which goes
io Clarkesville.
They also guarantee that through
trains shall be run- daily on the
Northeastern ("except Sunday, which
shall be optional) from the northern
terminus to Athens.
They agree not to hinder or re
tarn a connection with Knoxville
via Rabun Gap but to give it rea¬
sonable aid and encouragement.
They agree to keep the Northeast
era road in good working order, and
to pay the interest on the mortgage
bonds out of the gross n^enues of
the road.
They agree to keep the depot of
the Athens terminus, in the corpo
rate limits of the city and on the
west bside of the Oconee river.
They guarantee to give as low
freight and passenger rates as’ *i
mata to and from eastern points;
. i.d to and from the . eel at propor
ncnate rates.
,hey agree to a proper inter
change of freight and passenger bus
-ess with all roads that run or may
: ereafter be run into Athens; and
i.so to pay their proportionate part
• f the expense of building a union
] ssenger depot.
j hey agree to keep the engine

OCCAS IONAL.
From the Taper Mill.
The old adage, “a bird in the hand
is worth two in the bush.” was fully
realized by Mr. — and his wife one
day last week, who while angling
for the finny tribe weie successful
hi Elated catching with a large soft shell turtle.
such success, his
thoughtful him wife could not convince
of the importance of making
his turtle sure, before leaving it, yet
she not willing to risk it until they
were confine ready to go home, did her best
to it by wrapning it in her
apron and tying it. But lo! when
they je uin d the apron ua riddled
and the turtle gone. He says that
he will in the future take his wife’s
advice in such matters.
Another in our village, is lament¬
ing over a great disappointment.
Alter having bestowed so much cure
on a box in which he had planted
some tomato seed, to his utter as¬
tonishment is now lull of fine-look¬
ing ‘ gympsun” weed plants.
I think it would be a good thing
lor a young man in Oconee countv
if the fair sex wouldn’t favor him
with so many buggy rides, for I am
inclined to believe that he is getting
forgetful concerning his promises,
especially when a fellow is sitting
Oil the road side waiting for him and
knowing dinner at the same time that his
will have is waiting for him. Well,
we to make some allow¬
ance lor a man when he is in com¬

SAM BURNS.
Facts.
That the citizens of Oconetfcountv
want a railrr.ad.
That we must rouse to action.
That this route to the coast is al¬
most an air-line from Athens.
That Athens is bound to have an
outlet.
It will cost less to grade this route
than any other.
That a railroad meeting would be
in order.
That we would call upon Madison
to help us to get up the “boom.”
That it will benefit all.
That it will bring more people,
more money and better times.
That half the amount required
for the grading was subscribed once,
and could be raised again.
That the road would pay.
That the Richmond and Danville
company will put on the rolling
stock from Athens to some point on
the Georgia road, that the Macon
an( j Brunswick extension touches.
That if the people would give
them a route we think they would
r „ n over it to the M. B.
That we must have the line.
That we have warned you
And when the road passes us. and
goes by a point, not now a town, we
can have the consolation of knowing
that we might, could, would or
shoul d have worked fork.
That it will then be too late.
That small towns will spring up.
This will carry our trade to where
there are more stores.
Inev will help the new town.
And Watkinsville will remain the

Foo Choo’s Balsam of Shark’s Oil
Positively restores the hearing, and
is the only absolute Cure for
deafness Known..
This oil is extracted from a pe¬
culiar white shark, caught in the
Yellow Sea, known ns Carcharodon
Rondelettii. Every Chinese fisher¬
man knows it. Its virtues as a res¬
torative of bearing were discovered
by a Bndbist Priest about the year
1410. Its cures were so numerous
and many so seemingly miraculous,
that the letnedy was officially pro¬
claimed over the entire Empire. Its
use became so universal that for
over 3Q0 years no deafness has ex¬
isted among the Chinese people.
