In speaking Of the East Tennessee
towns to a Nashville B1naer reporter
a few days ago Prof Frank NJ. Smith,
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
had the followingto lay of Johnson
City; In Johnson City thirty houses
are in process of erection, the average
cost OF whose construction will
amount to $1,000, none Of them being
OF less value than $500. While so
much is being done for the material
development of this section, education
is not neglected. AT mass meeting
held in Johnson City not a dissenting
voice was heard to establishment of
a system Of graded schools. They are
aware that it is through ouch dvanta-
ges that permanent and desirable in-
habitsnts are attracted.
