The Cui^herlRiid Gap ICoatl. Dast weak tha following notice ap peared in the Aiken Ukcokdku. “Mr. George Potts contractor for the building of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap & Chicago Railway will com mence work' to-rimrrow with a force of two hundred hands The road will be built by the Ridge Route which is the nearest and most practicable. ” This information was obtained from M|\ Potts himself, in the presence of several other gentlemen, who has frequently slated that the RiJge Reute was the most practicable am 1 would cost less to built bv from twenty to twenty-five thousand dol lar. "Work was actually commenced or. the Ridge Route in accordance with flie above an.louncenieid, when lo ! in the t .vinkling r.f mi eye, or rather in the short space of forty-eight hours, 1 he ridge route was at.andoned mid tie route by Crofts’ Mill, which hud }>sen discarded as too didicult to he )>racticable, was discovered to he not only the shortest but the host route. it is stated that an old survey by a Mr. Gardner has been found which ► hows this favoialqe stajc of affair for'tbe Crofts’ Mill route. It is fur ther stated tlpit while there is prac tically little diflcrence in the distance nf-tlie two lines, the grade in ernssiuj.'

It is also how claimed t'.iat • his ridge' route will necessitate « trestle twenty-livp feet high against * f» tA 10 feet trestle over 8i.an’s creek. And it is tuilhericpre staled that hy the ridge route nii^e and a halt mile.- will have to be grailed, whereas b\ Crofts’ Mill only' four and a half niiic!- ictnaiu lo bs done. These are sth! to be the facts, with probably several other valuable considerations, whieh have caused Mr. George Potts to dis cover that he had made a r.iiatske in, commencing work on the Rid«e Route. At any rate work is now in progress on the Crofts’ Mill rou'e and about one hundred and twenty-flvr bunds are engaged iu grading and fitting cross ties. encouragement to its c.mstiluen:s and exprwssi.ig uotii but con- seirative views on nutters of public policy, atnl soui;d and loyal to tlie core as a democratic jmrual.

Did n’t Knew’t was Loaded” May do for a stupid hoy’s excuse ; but what can be said for the parent who sees his child lauguisliing daily ami fails to recognize the want of a tonic and blood-puritier ? Formerly, a cour-; oi hitters, or sulphur and molasses, was the rule in well-regulated families ; hut now all intelligent households keep Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, whieh is at once pleasant to the taste, and the most searching and effective blood medicine ever discovered. Nathan S. Cleveland, ’27 II. Canton st., Boston, writes : ** My daughter, now ^’1 years old, was in perteet health untila year ago when she began to complain ol fatigue, headache, debility, dizziness, indigestion, and loss of appetite. I con cluded that iiil her complaints originated in impure blood, and induced her to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This medicine soon restored her hlood-mnkii.g organs fd healthy action, ami in due time icstab- lishcd her former health. I tiud Ayer’s Sarsaparilla a most valuable remedy for the lassitude and debility incident tc spring time.” J. Castright, Brooklyn Power Co., Brooklyn, N. Y., says : “As a Spring Medicine, I tiud a splendid substitute for the old-time compounds in Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, with a few doses of Ayer’s Pills. After their use. I feel fresher and stronger to go through the sumuitr.” • Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, rKEi’AKKo nr Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mast, Price tl; tix Louies, Worth a Lottie.
