Johnson CITY the Choice.

The following paragraph is from the
Knoxville Tribune's Idea Column. 1t
was suggested as the way to build up
Knoxville. If Johnson City offers
better inducements, why should a man
sink money at home?
II the wealthy citizens of Knoxville
who have large sums of money inves-
ted in Nashville, Birmingham, Chatta-
nooga, Middlesborough, Johnson City
and other small towns would invest
all their capital in home enterprise it
would 60 a long way toward making
Knoxville q great city. J. q.

HKder.s POEMS.

The poet laureate, Mr.. H. III, Hy-
der, has presented The COMET with a
copy of his recent work, "Double
Golden Chains with Blazing Diamonds
Strung" 1t is q literary gem and no
library is complete without it. II is o
book that can be read and re-read
with increasing pleasure and the mind
never grows weary while perusing it.
On the contrary the reader becomes
inspired, as he follows closely the
writer whe so beautifully depicts his
prophetic vision. Describe it? Were
my pen a quill from the pinion OF the
Hottest seraph that burns in cleaning
glory, and dipped in the refulgent ra-
dance OF the rainbow's fountain, it
would be impossible. Below will be
found a criticism from the pen of Hon.
Thos. Curtain.
have read Mr.. Hyder's justly cele-
brated poem entitled al. II. Hyder's
Double Golden Chains with Blazing
Diamonds Strung" In this wonder
full production the reader will find the
sublimity Of Milton, the wisdom o
Shakespeare and the beauty Of Moore
without any pretension to the learning
Of either OF these renowned poets. Oul
author claims that mis- work is in
spired and of course prophetic ii
its character. An other brother poe
must have had the poet laureate OF the
Watauga in mind when he said,
Oh! learning, oh learning, whate'er thy boast,
Untutored minds have charmed and pleased III
most,
The learned viii be delighted with
this unique works of unsofsticated
genius and the unedncated mind who
love the marvellous will be carried by
its contents.
In an age OF wonders this modest
poem, whose diction is elevated, clear
and elegant was not born to blush un.
seen, but it is bound to live as the
greatest literary wonder of this or any
other age.
Very Truly,
THos. CURTAIN.
