Situated on this street is the grocery
house of ]. +. Mcfarland, who you
will remember succeeded Mr.. ]. E.
Harr, who had the largest grocery
trade of any house in town. Mr.. Nc
Farland has succeeded in retaining
about all of Mr.. Harris late customers
besides adding on lots OF new ones,
which makes him able to carry a large
stock, and sell for the lowest prices.
In our last issue we stated that Rev
J. H. Keith had been appointed by
the Holston Conference of the M. E.
Church South, to the Johnson City
station. He was first appointed to
this station but on account Of his poor
health he was changed to Cleveland +,
and Rev. X. G. Atkins, the Cleveland
appointee, was sent here. Rev. Mr..
Atkins will preach next Sunday at IL
o'clock.
The home OF "Bud" Peoples, in the
9Th district was destroyed by fire last
Saturday night while the familygwere
attending Dunkard meeting. The
fire was not discovered until the house
was total wreck and nearly ready to
fall in. The loss falls heavily on Mr..
Peoples, as not single article in the
house was saved. The reflection from
the flames was easily discernable from
Johnson City, and many citizens
would gladly have rendered aid had
IL been in their power.
The return of that able and popu-
lar young pastor to the Athens station
Rev. ]. A. Burrow, meets the hearty
approval Of the community entire.
This is the third year Of Mr.. Burrows
ministerial existence in Athens, the
limit allowed him, which is a fattering
testimonial OF the esteem OF his flock

Tennessee, as the Three C's road will

the produce from the lower end Of
