The Macon correspondent in the Atlanta Constitution says the fol lowing • in Never the history of railroad building has one little line received half so much attention as has the Covington and Macon because all other roads have been built by cor porations or companies, while this has been carried through from be ginning to end by one man, and a man, who, at tho start, onty had money enough avaiiablo to survey tho line and grade tho first few miles. At first almost niuo people out of ten were certain that the project would fall through, but to day track there laid, are ovor ninety miles of the trains are running for seventy three miles, and the grading has been finished up very corporate limits of Athens. And now that this is the end of this wonderful enterprise, tho build er of the road, Col. E. C. Maehen.ig being loaded down with compli ments on every side. Tho latest is in the shape of five handsome flags, which the following letter will ex : Machen:—I Boston, July 2, 1888—My Dear am very glad to hear that your railroad enterprise is at last coming to bo a working success. I suppose you will have an opening, which will be a sort of public festi val, for the road. Allow mo to take a little partin it by sending you a few flags for the deeoratiou of the train, and one to be hoisted upon your offico on festival occasions. Accept them as a tribute to business enterprise and faithful endeavor. 1 am, very truly, your friend, Ben F. Butler. Tho flags are made by tho United States Bunting which company of Massa chusetts, of Genera) Butler is president. twenty-three J ust years ago Gen. Butler was in command of the Crows Nest battery on James river, which was one of the most enterprising posts held by tho federals at that time. Col. Machen was in the con federate iron clad, Richmond, peg ging worth. away at him for all he was To-day, Butler is presenting Mach en with flags to decorate tho regu lar train that is to run ovor one of the most wonderful roads in tho south.
