We hope the election of Professor
Evans as the Principal of our school
will s1,tle all differences, and that the
people will now fall into line and go to
work. Prof. Evans has had twenty
years experience as an educator, and
has had SPLENDID success wherever he
has been. All the people of Johnson
City want is a teacher upon whom
they can rely From our past ac-
quaintance with the gentleman Just
mentioned, we think he is the man we
want Let old divisions be forgotten.
Let us go to work now and beautify
and remodel Science Hill and we will
have an institution we will all be
proud of.
The 4th of July will be u gala day
in this burg. The temperance folks
will have grand union mass meeting
and picnic. During the day there
will be speaking and eating and music.
In the evening the Johnson City Di-
vision OF Sons OF Temperance will play
Fruits of the Wine Cup" The pro
gramme will be interspersed with
songs and Rotations. The Orchestra
will be led by Prof. j. B. Mcmillan.
Come out and enjoy day with the
temperance folks.
There's u wife down town would smile like

If ia sign the pledge this day;
There's a fur haired boy would jump and caper,
You may pass the pledge this way"

Miss Berta Crawford of Washington
City will sing in Jonesboro on Wednes-
day evening July 9th 1884. We knew
this little nightingale when she was
but child and her trills and MARBLES
and flute notes Even then made us
think of heaven, angels, love, and we
prophesied she'd be prima dona.
She is generous beautiful and full
Of life and music. She is Tennessee
| gifted daughter. Boston, Baltimore
Brooklyn and Washington have ap-
plauded her.
The National Republican of Wash.
ington says of Miss Crawford: Miss
Crawford seemed to have recovered
from the natural nervousness incident
to u first appearance, and sang the
part OF Mabel fully equal to many pro.
fessionals who have assumed the role
here, while her acting was all thai
could be desired. 1t is understood
that this lady viii make her debut up
on the operate stage professionally
next fall, and, with her expressive
face, fine figure, and clear, meledious
voice, she may certainly anticipate
success.
| The Washington Sunday Gazette
pays her the following compliments
Berthe Crawford won additional lau
rels, as Mabel, in The pirates of Pen
zance,' at Ford's Opera House, and
there is no doubt that the lady is des
tined to become a brilliant light in
her chosen profession. Madame Jose
phine Logan may feel Justly proud o.
the rapid advancement of her distin
guished pupil.
Miss Crawford is the daughte. O
the late Col. Robt Crawford, formed,
of Greenville. Let the lovers of mu
sic and of merit, so and listen. Dom
for get the day.
