Several nights ago burglars entered
Selden Nelson's bed room by raising a
ladder to the upper back window of
his house and climbing in Mr., Mel
son must have slept soundly for the
thieves relieved his pants pocket Of
twelve dollars and made their exits
without his waking. About the same
time some one tried to enter the houses
of Mr.. w. P. Smith, the hardware
man, Mr.. G. H Mathews, the livery
stable keeper, and P. Zimmerman.
We hope the lucky man will yet be
ready to receive these midnight ma

Johnson City is justly proud Of its
band. The young men who COM
pose it are among the best young
men of the town. The citizens of
Johnson City ought to encourage
them by furnishing OF at least
helping to furnish them with instru-
ments. The band has been practic-
ing on the street several evenings
lately and has made really excellent
music. We give the names of the
young men who compose it. Prof. n

Circuit Court will be held at Eliza
bethton next week, commencing Mon
day. There are nine prisoners in Jail
and the criminal docket will probably
consume most of the week. Besides
these there are a number of cases in
which the defendants are cut on bond.
Poston Souy, charged with murder
will probably be tried. Souy was
tried at the July term a year ago and
sentenced to eight years in the peni-
tintiary, but was granted a new trial
by the Supreme Court. The case
against Butler Frazier for killing a
young man on Stony Greek, may be
ready for trial. The Mormon mission
aries will no doubt have q hearing
There are u number Of indictments
for larceny and smaller offences, and
the week is likely to be an interest.
