Very important Action.

A connection with Ruthcrtordton, only
thirty-cight miles distant, and the ter
minus of two important railroads, is of
all things desirable for AShcvillc. 1t has
been talked of for years, and since the two
roads referred to have reached Ruthcr-
fordton and there come to a halt, interest
and curiosity have both been on the qui
vivc to see which would move this way
first. We may possibly soon see. Col.
Frank Coke, president of the Three C's
road, has appointed Col. Thad Coleman
as engineer to make a preliminary survey
of line between here and Ruthcrtordton,
and that gentleman and Capt. Matt At

on the survey. 1t is probable that a line
can be run across the Ridge with mucl,

to scrape the old paint in such way that the
uncovered portion made perfect silhouette
of "a woman's head, with the face, turned to-

the hair is coiled In bewitching knot at the
back of the head, the features are beautiful

rather Grecian, and the lips and chin deli
cately turned. Altogether, it is quite sigh
