OF the Jail, or is it to be attributed 10
carelessness? The Democrats used to

and everything else when q prisoner got
out Of the old Jail.

Comet, 18th ult.
The f. T., V. e G.. Il. II. Co., have an
elegant waiting room at this place now.
The platform at the east end of the depot
has been fitted up with benches uphols-
tered with sacks of guano and bales Of

ments are scattered around TO give it the
appearance of an antique curiosity shop.
The design is so original that strangers
are at once attracted by its quaintness
and held spellbound-until the train ar

Rev. G. T. Stainbeck, of McMinnville,
officiating, DR.. A. B. Ramsey, of Nc.
Minnville, Tenn, and Miss Lulu A.
Blair, of Loudon, were united in the holy
bonds of wcdlock. The groom is one Of
McMinnville's rising young men, and
has secured a lovely and accomplished
young lady for his bride. Miss Blair has
made many friends in this section during
her visit by her modest and unassuming
manners. The ceremony was performed
at Z O'Clock, a. M, and the happy couple
took the s o'clock train for McMinnville.
Last week the Comet contained an an.
peal from the Y. NJ. G. A., of johnson
City, for aid in fitting up an Association
room. The appeal did not fall upon deaf
ears. We are glad to say to the friends
and well wishers of the Association that
"the work is begun" and in a way that
means business. While the work is
starting out nicely there is yet much to
be done, and we feel sure that If the good
people of johnson City and vicinity
realized the Importance of a live, active
Association in their midst, they would
rally to the support of the young men
who are 50 ~zealously at work in this
cause, and our town would soon place
the influence of the Y. NJ. c. A. as one
of her leading inducements TO persons
who are thinking of settling here. When
the work on the hall is completed we
VIII have a neat room, nicely furnished
and provided with papers, books, limo.
cent games, etc, where our young men
can spend their evenings, free from the
communicating influences that are brought
to bear on them upon the street corners
and in the questionable places around
town. They will find company and en-.
ter;ainment Of some kind, and 1t is money
well invested TO give towards preparing
a place where they can spend their lei.
sure hours in a way that is both harmless
and improving. Think n little along
this line, those of you who are interested
in the future of the young men, and
when you reach the inevitable conclusion,
open your pocket.books wide and you
will be amply repaid by the gratitude of
the members Of the Association, and by
the knowledge that you have helped
somebody's boy" to a nobler and more
useful manhood.

down, for the same reasons. We must
ask all correspondents to condense their
articles. We do not refer so much to
statements Of facts as TO opinions. AS a
rule, the former are given with too little
detail, ard are often incomplete. but the
latter are spun out 10 such length as to
make 1t necessary cut down by omission
or by rewriting. Thus there devolves
upon us a great deal Of unnecessary labor
and liability to errors, which latter we
especially desire to avoid. So, as a favor,
we again ask that all communications be
concise as possible. This will enable us
to deal with all alike.

A Careless Flagman Goes to Sleep on the
Track and Two Trains Collide at
Union.
About z o'clock Monday morning
freight train No. 90 ran into the rear of a
construction train at Union causing q
good deal of damage to cars and hurting
the engineer of the freight train severely.
The construction train was moving on
to a side-track to let No. 2S pass and a
man had been sent back to flag the
freight. He went back the proper dis
lance but failed to unfurl his flag to
warn the approaching train. 1t is said
by some that he sat down beside the
track and went to sleep.
The engineer Of the freight train, j. r.
Arndoff, as soon as he saw the train
ahead whistled for brakes and reversed
his engine; but seeing that his train
would not slow up in time TO avoid col
lision, both he and the fireman jumped
for their lives. Mr.. Arndoff received
severe injuries in his legs and back and
was badly bruised. The fireman was not
hurt. Both engines and trains were con.
siderably smashed up. A wrecking train
was sent from down the road 10 clear the
track, and little delay was caused to
traffic.

-Four of the justices of the peace of Greene

of the court for taxing $3.50 illegal cost
against Charley Patterson, in a case for
an assault. The justices are COLON,
Fry, Doty and McGhcc. This offence is
a grave n and the parties are guilty.
But the prosecutor being a colored man,
was willing that n MOLE prosequi' be
entered, which was done, upon the said
justices paying the costs.

have suffered great mental anguish to be

to have rights that need TO be respected.
But the mere finding of the indictment
may do good. 1t Is a hint. What becomes
of all the costs collected by Justices

mere p%ittanco is found in the report of
the county court clerk. This matter de.
mands investigation. Justices of the

q violation Of law in this?
