The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1890-08-21

Jonesboro yesterday evening, reached
us too late for publication this week.
The second mines Of the Johnson
City and Bristol clubs played in this
city Monday. The score was is to II
in favor Of Bristol.
Maj F. X. Huger, with a party Of
friends, arrived in the city this morn
ing in his special car and left at eight
o'clock for Cranberry.
The Bond question will be voted on
next Wednesday, Some opposition
has developed because the board failed
to name the commissioners. We
think the ground we'll taken. While
there is little doubt that the board will
appoint good men, it would not have
been out Of place to have named them.
Mr.. E. 7. Hart, of Hart, Armbrust
" Co., left the first of the week for
New York to purchase their fall goods,
Mr.. Hart is one of the best buyers
that visit the Eastern markets and
our people know what to expect when
he says he is going to buy the largest
and best stock OF goods he has ever
purchased for this market. He has
gone on this trip with such an inten.
ton. This firm has established
widereputation as the Bargain Store"
and the constant increase OF their
business is sufficient evidence that tae
reputation is justified by the fact
They advertise to do one-price
business and do it to the letter. Their
goods are all marked in plain figures,
from which there is no deviation
This method is found to be best for
all parties and has given perfect salts
faction to the trade, Their prices are
lower than the same goods can be
bought elsewhere, is the great secret
Of the success they have met with.
They have just received rs cases OF
boots and shoes direct from Boston
manufacturers, and their other goods
will arrive in a few days.
Rev, E. B. Robertson has returned
to Johnson City to live. He is build
ing cottage on Poplar street. His
family will arrive in about two weeks,
Mr.. Robertson is in very poor health,
but we hope be will soon be stout
again.
The very dangerous habit OF run
ming under the trains at the crossings
when they stop to take water is OF
daily occurrence in Johnson City, and
is engaged in mostly by small boys.
We repeat, it is very dangerous prac-
tice and should be nipped in the bud.
If it is not stopped two or three Of
these boys are likely to have to be
picked up in baskets and carried home
for their mothers to weep and wall
over.
The city authorities have purchased
sixty-fve acres OF the Patty farm one
mile east Of the city for cemetery
purposes. Roam street leads to the
grounds and will be opened and graded
at once. The dead in the old cemetery
will be moved to the new one as soon
as it is laid off, and the weather
is cool enough to render moving
possible. While the new ground is
MOI as desirably located as it might
be, it is a great improvement on the
present cemetery.
Penland, Hurst & Co. are still hust-
ling the shoe business at Bristol. Last
Saturday they sold over 81 900 wor tn
and the previous Saturday their sales
reached the snug sum of little over
$1,000. The goods were purchased at
Knoxville from the wreck sale of Dan
lei Briscoe & Co., and are sold at rare
bargains. These gentlemen appro,
priately style themselves "The Tire
less Toilers for Trade" and that they
have a steady business nerve, is evil
denced by the fact that they bought
$4,000 worth OF these goods and have
about disposed Of them.

w. NJ. Loyelace, carpenter, while
at work on a building Tuesday after
noon, had occasion to cut piece OF
plank with his Ratchet, and while do
ing so missed the plank and struck his
left hand, cutting an ugly and fright
full cash across the back of it. Not more
than twenty minutes after this acci-
dent Sam Bird, the contractor Of the
work on which they were engaged,
used the same Ratchet on the same
plank with the same result. Both ac-
ccidents are quite serious and very
painful.
