Important Suit COmpromised.-The
ejectment bill filed by the Z. 7. V. &
Ga. II. r. Co, against certain proper
ty owners in Johnson City has been
compromised. Tie company claimed
all the land between the railroad and
line running from the City Hotel to
the corner of Jobc's Hall, which in
cluded the saloons east of the hotel,
and part Of the lot on which the post
Office building, burned several weeks
ago, was situated. The terms of the
compromise are satisfactory to the
property owners interested, and very
gratifying to the citizens of Johnson
City. The company rclinquish all
claims they may have to the land oil
which buildings have been placed by
citizens, and further agree to tear
down the old depot and the building
now occupied by j. W. Eakin and T
j. Jobe, and deed the land on which
these buildings are situated together
with the land heretofore known a.
the public square, to the public, witt
the express understanding that IL,
buildings are ever TO be erected there
ON. The L. I. V. & Ga. r. r., in con
junction with the Narrow Gauge road
will soon commence the erection of I
large brick union depot on the pres
ent site OF the Narrow Gauge depot
This will be II long needed improve
ment. The compromise of the sui
was agreed upon by Messrs. TT. lobe
r. L. Taylor, c. Powell and w. H
Taylor, representing the Johnson Cit
property owners, and Vim. NJ. Baxter
Esq, the general solicitor for the 1
