The following letter from Gainesville to the
Walton NeIGs and Vfdette shows the present
status OF the Gainesville. Jefferson and South
ern Railroad: GAINESVILLE, GA, June S0-In
my Toun( yesterday / met with Hon A. ID.
Gambler, President of the Gainesville, jefferson
and Southern Railroad, aud knowing that our
people IN Walton county were deeply interested
in the extension Of the road to Monroe, put
series OF questions to him. and elected in sub
stance the following answers: Colonel, will
you answer me few inquiries about your rail-
TrrflH nfEh nj hnf &c
the status OF the work on your road?
Col C.-The grading is about COM
pleted to jug Tavern, and the track
is down and the train running twelve miles
in that direction. When will the train run TO
jug TavernF Col. C.-We hope to commence
la ing iron on o jug Tavern in the next thirty
days, and won't stop till the road is finished to
that Place. From jug Tavern where will you
go; Col. C.-WeIl. that depends. There are
several places bidding for the road, and some
Of them have made qLite liberal propositions.
For the present the road will stop at jug Tav-
ern, and II extended will 90 to that place which
does the best for the road. Well. won't the
road 90 to Monroe, as matter of
cOursef Col. C--NO, SIR. II Monroe wants
the road she must help us build it If she won't
paw to get the road, there are Other places that
will A railroad is too good thing to be given
to people who won't pay anything towards
its construction. Colonel, what will Walton
county be expected to do to get the road to
Monroe? Gel. Cit is our opinion that Wal
ton county should grade the road an put down
the ties from jug Tavern to Monroe, and il she
WILL will build the bridge across the Apa-
lachee river. The bridge viii cost me 81.
90 How far is it from jug Tavern to
Monroe, and what will be the coet per mile for
grading and crossties? Col Cit is fiftes n
miles distance. The grading viii cost about
81, ,2iO per mile. and the crossties $500 per mile
But there are five or six miles next to Monroe
that can be graded for not more than $500 per
mile. 1t is my opinion that the road can be
put in order to receive the iron for from $40 600
to 1,GC0. AMI il they Will grade and put down
ties / will iron the road and put on the
rolling stock. And you may say to your
people that there is great need for immediate
action in this matter. If they will go to work
at once l think | can have the train running
to Monroe in one hundred and twenty days.
viii Monroe be the terminus of the road. or
will you 20 to some other Georgia Railroad
cOnnec ions Cot. C.-If the road is extended
to Monroe that will be its terminus, as think
the Georgia Railroad will give us the same
showing there that it would if we went TO So
cial Circle or elsewhere"
