The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1890-02-27


The Courier wants Johnson City to
wait until Bristol catches up but it is
impossible for such energetic people
as we have would die of ennui.
Mrs. Eva Sewer, relic of the late
Capt. James Sewer, died at the resi-
dence of her brother, Mr.. w. P. Brew
err, in this place Monday afternoon, Of
la grippe. She was sixty-one years Of
age. The funeral will be held at the
residence Tuesday morning at 10
O'Clock burial at Jonesboro.-Bristol
Courier.
The Courier can't understand how
johnson City can be young, when
Henry johnson lived here when Brs-
tol was being LAID out. The truth is,
that johnson City has been born
again and all the citizens have been
vaccinated with progressive virus.
One year of the new life is worth ten
of the old.
Some contractors on the Three Cs road were
IN the city yebteTuhy, anu W JOuuSOu
City with several thousand dollars with which
to pay on their hands.-Knoville Journal.
And still the Jonesboro Herald and
Tribune will tell you that work has
been stopped on the Three C's. If he
would visit Johnson City on pay day
he would see what a terrible mistake
(?) he has made in making such a
statement.
Bill Nye is in Elizabethton and is
writing railroad articles for the Noun
taineer. That was an awful funny
one he wrote last week about a flying
train. We have no doubt several
Carter county people went int hys-
terics over it, He was nearer the
truth than he imagined for Gen. Will
der can come nearer building rail
road in the air than the Bristol peo'
pie can on the ground.
A great many people drive down to
see the furnace and the many i'm.
provements in Carnegie, but the "on.
lyest" driver on the road is Major A
Cantwsll, the polite and handsome
representative OF the Carnegie Land
Company. For the trath of this as
sertion we refer to Misses Wilder and
Reese. He was all attention to them
bat seemed to forget that he was not
driving "speculator" and trying tc
shake trade Of him.
"War" Robertson advertisss in the BriSto
Courier for an lass that can talk" He is In thu
| right market and can have quite variety to Sc
| leot from Comet.
From the amount of braying heard from
Johnson City, we are not certain but that il
where asses are most numerous, - Bluff Cit!
News
If the News had kept silent "War'
Robertson might never have found
him, but like BalGam's mule he opened
his mouth" and spake, and War
took him in.
The trouble with the Bristol mar
who could only see 1.-TWO men and Q
hey" at work on the furnace here was
that he has been so used to seeing q
few hands at work on anything in
Bristol that, like Speaker Reed--only
difference, he sees one for one hun
dred. His eyes are not used to see
ing work going on on furnace-ex
cept on paper. The News can call il
what it pleases but the payroll for the
two nen and boy last week were
over $500.

Mr.. j. ]. WINS has retired from the
editorial management of the Athens
Post and has sold his interest to his
nephew, WINS Davis. The Post is one
of the oldest and brightest journals in
the State. 1t has been in the Wins

handed down from sire to son and to

Yesterday was such beautiful June day that
hundreds of boys went to the river, Rock creek
and the Eastern branch and opened the out

go into deeper water and run the risk of drown
ing to keep out of reach of the blue coats. When
free baths are established all this will be
avoided

fined by Bishop Keane.

Right Rev. Bishop Keane of the Catholic Uni
versity here, in q lecture to the students Of
Notre Dame University, Notre Dame, Ind, Sat-
urday, on Christian Patriotism" said: Gath
oiics are not opposed to state schools, but to

schools" The bishop told all the students of

remember that duty to Christianity was duty
to ones country.
