WITH THE RAILROADS.

Yesterday afternoon an AGE HERALD re- porter had a conversation with Col. c. A. Avery of the East and West road, and in the conversation he said the extension work of the Highland Avenue and Belt railroad was being pushed at rapid rate, and that the line would be completed just as soon as possible.
 The engine eer corps is at work now in the vicinity of Iroudale, but as yet it has not been decided just what way the road will go to that place. There are two gaps in the mountain and the line will probably go through one or the other, but which one is not yet known.
 He stated that profile of the work has just been submitted him to be decided upon. The engineering part of the work is very large item in railroad construc- tion, and as matter of course this has to be attended to very closely.
 Colonel Avery also said that he had about thirty-hve men at work on the Lakeview park, which would be put in first class condition, and that also there was prob- ability Of au opera company playing sum- mer engagement there.

MIR. PUGH ON SILVER.
His Letter Published Yesterday After noon at Montgom ery-The Gist of <
 It in Two Paragraphs.

MorTGoMERz, April 11.--[Special. T.. Senator Pugh's silver letter is out in the Journal today. He talks very boldly and explains his action and known convictions at length. Among other things he says: "Some people have become so reckless as to assert that these democrats who favor the restoration of silver to free coinage at the old ratio are making war on the dem- ocratic party. If this be true then there are at least 4 ,000, 900 of democrats in the United States who are engaged in that business, and yet not single one of them has changed his opinions or party relations.
 NcAmong the fifty odd United States sem ators of all parties who will take their seats next December ready to vote for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, can name twenty- five demo- cratic senators, who are true to their party as any men living. Let the great question of finance be discussed among democrats as become honest men, and wait for results until we hear from the next presidential election.p p

AN INTERESTING RELIC.
Ozark Star.

OZHTk oLaF.
 MT. N. P. Bowling had on exhibition in front of his store Tuesday morning, beau tiful relic, which is of course prized very highly by him. It is a counterpane made by his great aunt, Florenda Mcdonald, in Jasper county, Ga, on July 4, 1S16. It is well preserved and very beautiful still. It was given to Aunt Sallie Bowling, MT. Dowling's mother, in 1881, when she was her death some months since, when MT. Peeler Bowling gained possession of it. The cotton from which it was made was picked from the seed by hand, carded and wove by hand. The delicate flowers inter- woven shows unmistakably that the maker of this highly przed relic was skilled in tue business. Mir. Bowling will place this interesting relic on exhibit at the Atlanta exposition.
