Let johnson City have her seven
her seven Sunday Schools,
her Masonic, Odd Fellows, Sons Of Tenn
perance, Knights Of Honor, and
Knights of the Golden Cross organiza-
tons. Let Johnson City have her
mammoth tannery her foundry and
Machine Shops her furnaces and fac
tories, but johnson City will still be
unfit to live in unless she can boast of
good schools. Oyer two hundred
children and no schools. Shame on
Johnson Cityl Her invitations are
insults, her boasts are lies unless she
makes Science Hill shine like city
on hill.
