The famous Washington monument
in Washington city was finished Sat
urday aud celebrated with cercmo-
MES few and simple enough not to
have dissatisfied even the Father OF
the Country himself-if by any posi-
he could have looked on. Through
almost the life OF a generation, this
unfinished shaft has been regarded as
a national reproach as u characters
TIC exhibition Of boastfuf disposition
to determine to do bigger thing
than was ever done before, associated
with eapricious spirit which aban-
.donssa great labor the moment il be-
Iic0mes burdensome. Perhaps but for
the war it would have still stood as it
did for many years as representative
of our half hearted patriotism. But
the war, with its revival of admiration
for great names and heroic ideas,
brought new energies to bear, and
these completed the shaft, which, if
not the most beautiful in the world,
is certainly the highest.-New York

Ode to the Central STAR.

The Central Star, a Temperance sheet
Cried loud for Prohibition
It's editor went on the street,
And slyly changed position.
He turned his back on good ST. John
He turned his back on Daniel;
And voted for the demijohn,
Against the temperance manual
To-day the Star in words that burn,
Warns christians not to flicker;
Tomorrow sees good Phillips turn,
For Pettibone and Ticker.
@, Central Star, we're not in fun,
Go practice what you preach,
And like the bold Joe Anderson,
Dareyote the faith you teach.

How 10 Keep a Town SInaII.

Horace Greedy said: "If you want
to keep town from thriving don't
erectany more dwelling houses than
you can conveniently occupy your
self. you should want to rent, ask
three lines the value of it. Demand
Shylock price for every foot of
ground that God has given you stew
ardship over. Turna cold shoulder
to every mechanic and business man
who seeks.to make a home with you.
Look at seyerygnew conner with a
scowl. Run down the work Of every
new workman. Go abroad for wages
rather than seek to do business in our
midst. Fail to advertise or in any
way to support a newspaper, that the
people abroad may. not know whether
business is going on in your town or
not Wrap yourselves with coat of
impervious selfshness" There is no
more effectual way to retard the
growth ola town titan actions like
those enumerated.
advertising, in its more extended
sense is a fine art, i has its advant-
ages, and they are great and not to be
tnderyalued. In some enterprises it
pays better than III Others. Business
men who hive made the greatest sue
cess in their business have been the
most. extensive advertisers. The
West and the Southwest are noted as
having then energetic and money
making people in the world and one
of4heiT peculiarities is to make free
use Of printers in, 1t was Horace
Greedy who said long ago that the
hians.w1F5 pain more for store rent
thaah lie, did for advertising was igno-
rant Of .halfhisl business. This is q
reading age, and people expect to find
everything worth knowing in the

Lamar ON the Result.

Senator Lamar,of Mississippi,said in
regard to the probable effect Of Cleve-
lands election to the Presidency that
the policy OF the new administration
can only be surmlsed upon the welT-'
known traditions of democratic gov
eminent and upon Governor Cleye-
lands official course hitherto, which,
after wide publicity and discussion,'
has been approved by the people. Mr.
Cleveland as President will undoubtz
eddy favor a scrupulous but not d par
simonious economy in Che conduct of
the government and will insist upon
the most rigid honesty and account
ability on the part Of public officers.
The tariff, he thought, would not be
Immediately affected and the ultimate
outcome Of the agitation upon the
subject would be an equitable adjust
ment of contending interests. Con-
tinuing, Senator Lamar said: "In my
opinion the election will have a most
decisive effect in bringing the South
into hearty and cordial relations with
the North. The Southern people do
not regard the election as a triumph
of their section, OF OF any section.
They simply regard it as indicating
the triumph in the nation of the prin-
ciples of good government. Out OF
nearly five million votes cast for Mr..
Cleveland, more than three millions
were cast by the people of the North,
Under his administration, therefore
tile preponderance of political forces
will continue to be Northern. The
South simply recognizes in the result
OF the election the placing in power
| for the first time since the war, Of an
administration not hostile-one under
which her people can heartily support
and cooperate with the national gov
eminent, thus bringing her highest
interests into more complete identiii
cation with those OF the nation ant
the feelings Of her people int an in
tenser sympethy with those OF theil
Northern brethren"

Sullivan Comfy Happy.

For the Comet
The democracy Of Sullivan had a
rally at Blountville on Monday night,
December LIST.
A large attendance was on hand,and
q broad streak Of happiness pervaded
the crowd. Even the republicans
were glad that the politica! season was
about over and the crop gathered.
Speeches were made by Chas. r.
Vance, Esq, Capt. L. II. Denny,,Dr.
N. T. Duloney, G. A. Brown, Esq, A.
Fl. Blanchard, Esq, and Col. George
r. Mcclellan.
The speeches were short and we'll
suited to the occasion, and were en-
joyed by the democrats present, who
were in good spirits, except few, who
had good spirits in them, and they
were reel (reaD happy. Altogether, it
was very pleasant jollifcation.
Our recent victory is regarded as the
beginning Of the end of sectionalisn,
and Capitalization, and the Inaugural
ton of an era Of good feeling and gem
eral prosperity. II the democrats are
wise, they will profit blythe experience
of the republicans.
When they came into power, they
were so overjoyed by victory, and
blinded by the greed for spoils, that
they pronounced democracy dead and
felt that there was none left to modest
or make them afraid. They felt that
the inheritance was theirs, and pro-
ceeded to deal. with it accordingly
Like the Prodical son, who suddenly
received an inheritance that he did
not appreciate, because it came by the
labor Of other hands, they proceeded
to waste it in riotous living. And now
after twenty years of the fastest living
the world ever saw, they are to be
turned out with orders to "root hos
or die J" the inevitable fate Of unfaith
full servants
1t is to be hoped that the delnocra
cy win profit by tho light and expert
ence Of the past, and give us a gov
eminent Of, by and for the people ;
government in which the people ar
D sovereign, and monopolies and rings
: and corruption and extravaganza ar

quently asked: Why do not the

true that Rev. Mr.. Hodge, who has
charge OF the M. E. church lives in

has charge Of the NJ. E. church, South,
and Rev, Mr., Johnson, who has charge
of the Presbyterian church, and Rev.
Mr.. Whitlock, who has charge Of the
Baptist church, all live at Jonesboro.
Is it because Johnson City cannot
support two or three ministers2 A

contributions If the ministers lived
here. A minister is q valuable man in
any community, and it is TO be hoped
that our people will make arrange
ments to have at least, two or three o

fess that VIC need as many, and per

She Has Seen the Beginning

The Democratic party has seen the
beginning and end Of all parties that
have existed in the United States.
She saw the Federal party rise and
fall She witnessed the Wing par
ty spring into being, houish for a
time, and then depart like the perfume
of summer roses. She was present
at the birth OF theKnow Nothing par
ty and she was present when it was
put under the sod, She saw the Re-
publican party come upon the stage
at the beginning Of the war, and in
the bright year Of our Lord, 1884 she
saw this last party make its exit, sans
power, sans honor, sans everything.
And to-day, standing aboye the graves
Of all the foes she has had for II hun
bred years, the Democratic party is
fresh in the eternal vigor of youth,
and looks out into future jeweled

A Sl,ume.

The depot in johnson City is posi-
lively u shame to the town. When
new it was very shabby building, and
after standing quarter Of century
and bearing everywhere marks of di-
lapidation it is stretch OF courtesy to
the railroad authorities to call it a
depot. 1t is undoubtedly the worst
building on the line, and yet the
freight at this place is as heavy, if not
heavier, than the freight at any other
point between Knoxville and Bristol.
There is no reception room Of any
kind in the building, and people who
wait for trains have to shiver in the
cold, Besides being the ugliest build
ing that was ever placed in the bust
ness part of any town, it is positively
dangerous, A large spark from the
engine falling on the roof would be-
gin fire, which, while it would be
beneficial in turning to ashes the old
depot, would destroy much valuable
property. Sometime ago, the railroad
authorities spoke OF building a new
depot. We do hope that it will be
built at an early day.
