Undeservedly Lauehed At.

The unthinking are prone TO make game Of
nervousness. Yet this is a very real and seri-
Gus affection, the harassing symptoms Of
which are rendered all the more poignant by
ridicule. The stomach is usually responsible
for these symptoms-its weakness and dis
order find reflex in the brain, which is the
headquarters of the nervous system. AS a
nerve tonic and tranquiliZer. we believe that
not one can be pointed out so effective as
HOstetter's Stomach Bitters. In renewing
vigorous digestion, it strikes the key note OF
recovery of strength and quietude by the
nerves. Headaches, tremors in quiet sleep,
abnormal sensitiveness to unexpected noises
AL these modify and ultimately disappear
as the system gains strength from the great
tonic. Dyspepsia. bililousness, rheumatism.
constipation and kidney complaints are sub

MR.. A, KoGEISHATZ:
Dear Sir and Brother Would say
that we feel like congratulating you
on your success in the embalming of
Mr.. John l.. Davison's remains. Mr..
Dawson died, as we understand, on
March 80, 1889. We put the body in
the vault yesterday, had the funeral
at his fathers house, four and one
half miles out in the country. We
took him out the next day after his
arrival here. The body was in a very
fine state of preservation when it ar
rived, and, in fact, we could hardly
notice any change from the time itar-
rived till we placed it in the vault.
There was no oder came from the
body whatever. We consider it a
success in all particulars. and feel un-
der obligations to you for putting the
remains in such good shape, as it was
a pleasure to handleit, compared with
some we receive of late, and that, too,
of firms that have wide reputation
for embalming, but perhaps more
reputation than knowledge in the art.
Wishing you all success possible in
the future, and prosperous business,
we remain, Yours Fraternally,

The interstate commerce commits
mission has, in an opinion by Com
missioner Morrison, announced its
decision OF the case OF James & Alb
bolt against the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia Railway Company
and Others This is complaint of
transportation charges on lumber car
ried from Johnson City, Tennessee,
to Boston, Massachusetts. The rate Of
which complaint is made is SO cents
per 100 pounds Of timber in car load
for distance OF OIL miles, though
from more distant points Of Atlanta,
Ga, 1910 miles, a lower rste of 81
cents is charged, which is alleged to
be in violation OF the fourth section of
the act to regulate commerce.
The commissioner decided that the
rate on lumber from Johnson City to
Boston should be 33 cents per hun
dred pounds, To give some idea Of
the immense amount of business done
by James & Abbott here, it is only ne
cessary to state that the 8 cents over
charge has amounted to nearly $50, 00C
and that amount will be refunded

Sullivan, the contractor on the six
miles from Johnson City to the Sulli-
var county line on the Watauga, is
bound to complete that part of the
road, in Washington county, by the
First Of February, and Sanders thinks
he will do it, for the hands are work
ing day and night seven days of the

THE ROAD TO EMBREEVILLE.
Chief Engineer Johnson has completed
the survey, and found very desir-
able route.

Johnson City is determined to have
more railroad connections and the
next road that will be built, is the
Johnson City and Carolina. 1t is
only intended to build the road to the
old Embreeville iron works just now,
BUTT will be ultimately extended to
Asheville N. G. A preliminary sur
vey has been made from here to EN-
breville and the line is all that could
be desired aud will cost only about
One-half what the projectors supposed.
The distance is twelve miles, and the
road can be built to Johnson City for
less than one-half of what it would
cost to build to Jonesboro, or any 9TH
er point on the E. 7. Y. q G. r. r,
This fact alone would make Johnson
City a sure winner were every thing
else equal, but the inducements offer
ed by this city as railroad, manu-
featuring and commercial center so
far outweigh those of any other point
in question that it is safe TO say the
Embreeville iron company will adopt
the line as surveyed and build it at
once. The COMET saw the profile in
Col. T. E. Matson's Office yesterday.
The maximum grade is 65 feet and thai
only short distance at one point, and
a four-degree curve is the quickest on
the line. The grading will be light
there being no cut more than 90 feet
in depth, and only one that deep
There are six or eight miles with com
paratively no grading. Representa-,

During the four nights OF the Ba-

to vote once each for the prettiest and
most popular girl, the best arranged
booth, the best representative male
and female characters, for the small
sum of ten cents. When the polls
closed on Friday night and the votes
were counted out, it was found that
the election resulted as follows:
Miss Fannie Lipscomb was declared
the prettiest young lady and also as
Columbia, was declared the best rep
resentative character and received two
presents, a rocking-chair and rug.
James A. Shelburne, the Sultan of
Turkey, was declared the best male
character and received a shaving set
for being so. Turkey was about to
come out ahead as the best arranged
booth, on its merits, but some gentle
men who had voted early, but not Of
ten enough, were allowed to vote
"some more," while the ballots were
being counted, which changed the re-
suit, and France was declared the win
ner amidst great deal of dissatisfac-
ton.

spared no pains to make the whole
matter a success and succeeded admit

The answer to that is ~ that when

it anyhow. And (2) while the retail
