1t is with peculiar sadness that we
chronicle the death Of Mrs. Nina
Wineger, the loving and loved com
panion of E. F. Vinegar, which oc-
Cured last Sunday morning, after a
few days illness with typhoid fever.
She was in her nineteenth year, and
tie little boat with its white sails OF
love end peace that she embarked in
upon the placid matrionial SEA scarcely
ten morths ago has glided smoothly
over the same, her life having
been one Of peace and happiness. Hel
future seemed to be bright one and
she found greatpleasure in speaking o.
it and in anticipating life in a happy
home.
But He willed it otherwise and in thu
early morn of her life she was called

delighted to honor and obey. Ma!
her soul rest in peace, and may thu
bereaved husband and parents find re
lief in the truth that she has only gon'

At dinner given to John Russell
Young, at the Aston House, New York,
last Thursday, in honor of Gen. Rog-
err A. Pryor, Chauncey M. Depew paid
high complement to ex-President
Cleveland, who was one Of the guests.
After speaking about the distinguish
ed men about the board, he said II |
was asked to name the most forceful
character in American life, the man
who hest represents the energy, the
answering determination and the
courage of the true American, the
man who knows duty, and it alone,
when publiC service commands it, the
man who wars in war, and is for peace
in peace, | would name General w,
T. Sherman. But ii / am to name
the typical American, the man who
loves and believes in his country be-
yond everything else, the man who
determining once in what direction
his duty leads, cannot be swerved
from the path, the man who is dog
gedly persistent in what he believes
to be right, the man who thinks moi
of self, but OF his country and it,
needs, would name Grover Cleve
land. What he has accomplished il
the very highest tribute to the posi-
bilities Of American ci izenship.

UNICOI
is THE NAME OF A NEW TOWN ON
THE THREE C'S.
Twelve Miles From Johnson City
In the Iron Belt.

The fact that johnson City is TO be
the Commercial Center OF the culture
situs of the principal iron production
OF the world" IL being demonstrated
every day by the location OF new min
ing and manufacturing towns in the
vicinity on the trunk lines centering
here. Among the recent towns with
a promising future that have been
laid out, there are none thai has
greater advantages, perhaps, than
Unicoi, new town laid off and built
by New York and Boston capital. The
town site is just twelve miles from
Johnson City on the Three C's road.
II lies in beautiful valley at the foot
OF mountains of red and brown hema-
tite ores and on the banks of Indian
Greek. The mountains have been
tapped at different points and the ore
found to be near the surface, easily
mined and Of the best quality and best
of all, in inexhaustablJ quantities. 1t
is the intention OF the promoters to
make it a mining town and expect to
have 500 miners at work in thirty
days. DR.. Q. S. Taylor and 9. II.
Haas, Of Chicago, are interested in the
enterprise and were here looking over
the ground a few days ago. To say
they were pleased would be putting it
mildly.
Work was commenced Monday
grading streets, and as soon as plans
and specifications are received a neat
hotel will be built at a cost of about
$4,000; an Office building will also be
erected at once for the Company.
The Unicoi Land and Improvement
Company, Mr.. j. R. Miller, Manager,
owns the town site, and the Unaka
Land and Mining Company, Mr.. Thos.
G. Blair, Manager, will operate the
mines. The Improvement Company
has closed contract for a boiler and
engine works to be located there and
the ground will be prepared for the
plant at an early date.
The property has not been put on
the market yet, but Mr.. Blair informed
THE COMET that more than 100000
worth OF town lots had been sold.
As stated above, Unicoi starts out
with bright prospects and it will be
pleasure for THE COMET to note its
progress from time to time.
