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 i «. »,„l the IbceoftHt. ottl.easWn.inAti,,!, They agree that in L,e event of J ulure to comply witti the Condi L ms, the stock shall revert to the ‘ v *AUw.

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.

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.

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.
