Building Permits.

We believe the Board of Mayor and
Alderman should pass an ordinance
prohibiting any one from building
any kind of a house in town without
first obtaining a building permit.
This is required in all large cities,
and is done in order to prevent
houses from being built without ref
erence to safety from fire, the rules
of sanitation and the like. A striking
illustration of this will be found in
the houses that are now being built on
the north side OF Science Hill"
These houses are being built on a
narrow lot, on the side OF the hill, one
above the other, not more than four
or five feet apart, and with no room
for any kind of out-houses. In these
shanties the unfortunate poor will be
eribbed without reference to decency
mach less to the laws of health. Such
things are an imposition on the poor
people who cannot do better, and are
a standing menace to the health Of
the town. By all means gi e us an
ordinance requiring building per
mits.

+" Let Us Have Peace. ("

Strangers have noticed a spirit OF
rivalry in Johnson City, between the
old town and the new, and this is all
we'll enough, but men OF sense will not
permit it to end in bitterness and
downright opposition. There is room
enough for all. Every addition to the
city, and every lot in the town, is val
liable, and will increase in value as
the town grows. Strangers coming in
will naturally prefer some additions to
Others, but every one is good, and will
be better. At present prices, and with
the present prospect, one may pur-
chase lots with his eyes shut with per-
feet safety. If men who feel disposed
to lose their temper in what they inn
agine to be sufficient cause, (and
which is not always true) would only
reflect, that in ten years this town is
to have 100000 inhabitants, they
would be amazed at the folly of any
quarrel now between rival sections of
the town. So "let us have peace"
since we can afford so we'll to have it.
The writer OF this knows but very
little about General Wilder, has only
a casual acquaintance with him, but
he recognizes his great services to this
town. His efforts to bring to it the
railroad go necessary to its very ex-
istence, and in building up the town
generally, are invaluable, and are UNI
versally conceded. 1t is safe to say
that without his efforts, or that of
some other person of equal force,
there would be no additions to the
town, and no town itself. So the
strangers within your gates cautiously
protest against any bitterness OF rival.
ry that would be calculated to impair
the usefulness OF this live old man.

Kyle Lodge No. 422 +. and A. NJ.
Whitesburg, Tenn, April 9Th, 1890.
To the Worshipful Master Wordens
and Brethren of Kyle Lodge No. 422
F. and A. NJ. Your Committee APP
pointed to adept resolutions in memo
ry OF our departed Bro. P. M. Kirk
patrick. Bey to submit the following
report.
Whereas we having buried with
the deepest regret, and the most pro-
found sorrow of the death, on the 21st
day of March 1890, of our most high
ly esteemed, and worth Bro.
Pleasant M. Kirkpatrick. Thereby
sundering lies, which through his
kindness OF heart and disposition, as
well as his great disposition for, and
deep and abiding interest in all the
affoins of our lodge, for so many long
years had been so connected that
this sudden breaking assunder, could
only leave us in gloom and sorrow.
Bro. kirkpatrick had been mem
Der of the Lodge, since its organize
ton in 1871 to his death. Without
the least reproach and for the greater
part of the time, its efficient and
worthy Treasurer.
He was a worthy Master Mason es-
teemed at home and abroad, a kind
husband, good father, a worthy citi-
zen, an exemplary neighbor and a
friend worthy the name. We shall
miss him at the Lodge. We shall
miss him at his home. We shall miss
him in the walks of life. But we are
glad he was permitted to live out his
ten score years and ten, and was gath
cred to the Grand Lodge above, a
~sheaf fully ripe into the garner.
Therefore be it resolved by this
Lodge, that we bow in humble sub.
mission to the wife Of him who doeth
all things well, and we recognize in
this disfensation of Providence simply
the going en- before, of our dear Bro.
End, That we will spread this pre-.
amble and resolution on page of our
record book, which shall be kept sa-
cred to his memory.
3rd. That the family Of our deceased
Bro. are entitled to, and that We here
by extend to them our heart felt sym
pathy, IN this entire great time of be.
reavement and sorrow And that the
Secretary OF this Ledge furnish them
a copy Of this preamble and resou-
tions.

deceased Bro. wear the usual badge Of
mourning for thirty days.
