Comet, 9Th. inst.
News reached this place this evening
of a horrible affair hat occurred in the
tannery district, about A miles above here
in Carter county. 1t seems that Harrison
Bowman, while under the influence of Ii.
quor and cutting up generally, took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to raise a fuss
with VIM. Carroll upon an old grudge.
After quarreling some time Carroll pick
ed up q rock and attempted to strike
Bowman, but he got out of the way and
opening his knife struck at Carroll hit
ting him in the neck and knocking him
down. After he fell Bowman stabbed
him sixteen times. Carroll died in fifteen
minutes. Bowman drew q large pistol
and swearing he would not be arrested
walked off and is still at large, Up to
the time of going to press nothing has
been heard of him. CAROLS friends are
very indignant and 1t is feared that Judge
Lynch will try Bowman II he is found.
Mr.. Fulton of Mt. Airy, Va, was in the
city this week looking out a location for
a tobacco factory. After spending sever
al days looking around he could not fail
to recognize the advantages our town Of
fers and it is hardly necessary TO say he
went home well pleased. Before leaving
he thought there was little doubt but that
the company he represents would decide
to build here at once.
1t is o a settled fact that we are to
have another tobacco warehouse. Messrs.
Crandall & Shuler, of the Bank of John
son City, are receiving bids on a brick
building 200 feet deep 60 feet wide. The
warehouse will be erected on the corner
of Buffalo Avenue and Maple street on a
lot donated by the citizens for that pur.
pose. This is another point scored for
Johnson City, and is exactly what we
have needed for some time.
The Bank of Johnson City is putting
on style. They have just put a handsome
wire railing around their counter, and
have lately had the room papered and the
ceiling decorated. They are still making
improvements, and when finished will
have decidedly the handsomest and best
appointed bank room east Of Chattanooga
