Between all these roads a consolida tion of interest has been made, and a contract has been made with the Geor gia Construction Company to undertake the work of building the road, and - that company guarantees to have the whole road completed tome time in 1S90. In general terms the courtso of the road will be across the Blue Ridge, at some point not far remote from Brevard, thence through that town to an accessi ble crossing of the divide between the French Broad and Piceon river, thence down that stream with its coarse through the Smoky mountains into the State of 1 ennessee, and thence to Knoxville.

BETTER, BEST. GOOD "The Good die young" is an old Pro verb, hence "the Better" die younger, ami so few of "the Bett" s irvive, that according to the law of "the survival ot the fiUett." "the Best" of Asheville must be the (piintesseiice the cmne de la creme ot Ihecouiinunity, and theirdecis ions must necessarily be perfect. Being ol tin- elevated character, mor ally, socially, intellectually and, accord ing to Ex-Ald.-ruian Powell, tUelivrly, if I may so use the word, as our "Oil y Fathers" w'n a-i-ording to his statement selected and ! c d - by thr best the bett must feel thai they niusl not act as "the". Good or IMti-i" would do, that even though the water ' the hills, ' like little Iambs.'' might i-kij down from thes; hills, a-i water will do if permitted, and offer itself for their use, as "Patton's Baby" did do. before the 'Bet.t" or their "Best" advUers got control of the city government, has done ever since, and unless strangled, upon the principle that a victim is needed in the present tsiuerg- . ency wilL if permitted,- continue like a lamb, as she is, to offer the much needed. dUBtycity,. , t By tue way, JkXesrj. Edi'wy i.tt -. Baby" is a lamb of the first, tli secondh and np to the present and to b reared, for a long time the only VMlsr. ghe l.aa suffered under every adversi'V, she was not oi-GUidit into existence aud Into the city by "the Best" and hence the poor child and all of her relations or conld jie . trihutaries.have been persecuted from her earliest infancy and eyen now, and this is not the first time, it seems that in convince the world that "the Best" are ritiht, that the only proper way to use water, is scientifically to endeavor to make it ruu up hill, higher Oian it will, and if the. water patsists in not cominv in the way decided upon by "the Beet" it shall not come to either Good, Better, or Best. Though the "poor baby" should run of herself down the hill and say "lake me," even she must be stopped and unless she come in sitne scientific, dif ficu't way, must be thut off. By the way did you know it ? Do tbe earnest friends of Prohibition kno a- it? Why Asheville V has gone dry what no one .else hereto- iore could do, our wortiiy water commis sioners at one fell swoop, because the swoop did fall in the way of a trench cut the baby off and in spite of the ex penditure ot about $130,000 in opposition Asheville is truly dry and likely to remain so. "The Good anu the Better" can't see the point of this the fun is not apparent. None can truly believe that any criminal wrong could be or has been intended. Personalities ought not to be indulged in; the truly Best are gentlemen, I can't say yet, as of the baby, of any watei, but they are nevertheless gentle men, if they don't and can't be of any water, and they intended no wrong. There has been no error of the heart, but only of the head. Let them come out and confess, as the Best always should, their errors and do as "the best." as Mr. P.. well styles them, ought to do; explain the reasons for their wonderful actions. and until they do "the Good" will be after them kindly, but liruily.
