The base ball fever has struck John
son City. A strong team was organ
lied to-day with r. Burrow an c. An
derson at the head of it, We hope to
be ready in week or two to play any
club in East Tennessee.
About rs people from the city and
vicinity went up on the special excur-
sion train to Cranberry this morning.
Several strangers in the city took adj
vantage of the opportunity to view
the famous scenery of the wonderful
gorge. We would like to have seen a
much larger crowd, as the proceeds
are to go to the M. E. Church at this
place.
We have received the result of n
union between the late Central Star
of Blountyille, Tenn, and the Newport

provement on both papers and with
the combined efforts OF two able news
paper men bids fair to be prominent
among the best country newspapers in
East Tennessee.
