Indispensable to Dressmaksrs.

Do dressmakers need the National

question that need not be doubted
when we look around us every day
and see the dissatisfaction on the part
of the people in failing to get comfort
able and well fitting garments howev.
er it is not the fault OF the dressmaker
in fulfilling her duty as best she knows
but lack ofimproved methods in her
system of cutting.
There is no system in use at the
present time that will give the entire
satisfaction the National Garment
Gutter does, as it is the only correct
syste5. There 10 no demand it has
failed to meet, when properly tried
1t just what it is claimed to be the
most complete scientific system in ex
istenCe.
Dressmakers who have used it fol
the past few years say it is of inesti
mable value, and say they will never
use any other system, as it gives entire
satisfaction in every respect, while OF
the other hand, those who have no
been using it are realizing every day
the lack Of something very important
when they fail to please their custo
mers. Perphaps they do not know
that it is the " National Garment Cut

results, for it is the most stylish anc

Mr. J, P. Mcdonald, OF the firm Of

New York yesterday, He is being
congratulated on every hand on his
success in securing the contract TO
build the G. G. 4 @. railroad.

contract" asked the reporter.
"At once. | will put force Of
hands at work at the Breaks of the
Cumberland in Virginia, and another
in Unicoi county, Tenn, near the
North Carolina line, just as soon as
possible. 1t seems that it is under.
stood that we only get the ninety
miles from Johnson City Cd to the

is we have the the contract to build
the entire line from Rutherfordton, n.

We have plenty of time in which to
complete the other contract and we

Gov. TAYLOR Sustained.

The supreme court has unanimously
and very properly sustained Gov. Tay.
Tor in his action granting the certif'
cate OF election to Mr. H. Clay Evans
republican, elected to congress from
the Third district of Tennessee. To
have decided this case otherwise would
have been to establish a dangerous
precedent-one that from its national
Importance would have worked an ir.
reparable injury to the state. In
granting the certificate to Mr.. Evans
Gov Taylor did that which was clearly
his duty under the law to do, and in this
he is sustained by the unanimous
bench OF the highest tribunal in the
state. Gov. Taylors sympathies and
political predictions, no doubt where
with Mr.. Evans opponent, but, as the
chief executive OF the state his duty
rose superior to partisan narrowness,
not to say unfairness, and he has the
qualification of receiving the endorse
ment not only Of the supreme court,
but OF thoughtful men everywhere

Let There BE No Strife.

The competition OF Bristol and John
son City for the Sc road should be
friendly. There is no need OF strife or
hard-feeling. While the building OF
the enterprise would help the town it
happened to strike, its loss would not
prove ruinous to the other. We have
too much faith in the get-up-and.get
OF our people to believe that they
would fold their arms and give I'D if
the road does not happen to come this
way. The people OF johnson City are
largely akin to us, and have as much
pluck as we have. Bristol has never
banked OBJ the road the people GER
tainly will not be greatly disappointed
if 1t does not come this way. johnson
City would be greatly disappointed If
she did not get it, but with her vim
she would soon recover and push for

YOu are Doomed.

Do you owe for the COMET? If you
do the collector will be on to you.
Some OF you owe for two or three years
and unless you pay AT ONCE the ac-
counts will be placed in the hands of
an officer, The law in regard to news
paper accounts is very strict and we
dislike very much to have to enforce
1t but will be compelled to do SO I'M
less you pay up. Some of you have
received statement OF your account
through the mail and you will save
costs by paying attention. If you
don't want the COMET any longer pay
for it and have it stopped. That is
the only just way to do it, as we have
deemed you responsible and have con-
tinued sending you the paper for years
without a remittance from you. We
intend now to have what is due us
and unpleasant as it is to do so will
resort to the law. That you may see
just how far you are liable we print
below the law;
l. Any person who takes a paper
regularly from postofice, whether in
his name or another's or whether he
has subscribed or not, is responsible
for payment,
2. If a person orders his paper dis
continued he must pay arrears, or the
publisher may continue to send it un
til payment is made, and then collec
the whole amount, whether the paper
is taken from the postofiiee or not.
8. The courts have decided that re
fusing to take newspapers or period
Gals from the postoffice, or removing
and leaving them uncalled for, is pri
ma.facia evidence Of intentional fraud
This is the last time we will ask you
to pay. An agent, the sheriff, will
call to see you unless we receive you
remittance in the next 80 days.
