HALF A MINUTE, PLEASE.

Though you were Jay Gould or a
Vanderbilt, it is worth thirty seconds of
your time to learn that Ideal " Tooth
Powder will preserve your teeth from
decay, and by so doing save dentists
bills and hours of agony from your old
enemy, the toothache. DIR. Il. L. Gieb-
ner, Pa, says: "When 1 first began
using Ideal" Tooth Powder [ could
not use brush on my teeth on account
of injuring the gums. Can now use as
stiff brush as obtainable with impun-
ity. 1t has also hardened the enamel OF
my teeth.

The Roanoke Daily Herald has the
following to say of johnson City
1.-THE most discriminating real estate
men accord it superior advantages
over other towns either North, South,
East or West, and are cooperating to
make it point for the planting of
those industries which it is SO well
adapted to foster, Several large land
and improvement companies have
been organized, and property aggre-
eating millions of dollars disposed of.
Her corporations are exceedingly lib
eral in their charters and vast amounts
of money have been and are now
being spent in the improvement and
upbuilding OF Johnson City. A sur
yey OF the town convinced me that
considerably over one hundred houses
are now in course of erection, and con-
tracts have been let for large num-
Der of others. With this good begin
ming, under intelligent direction, and
the very reasonable figures at which
property is to be had for residences
and manufacturing enterprises, rich
and populous city is to spring up IN
this valley which shall be the pride OF
its founders and the congenial abode
of all who may perchance dwell within
its favored precincts.

At the opera house last night the

ed the fine Irish play, "The Insha.
vogue, or Under Two Flags"
The play is comedy drama abound
ing in thrilling situations and noble

late spring with its frost and cold
rains had ruined the berry crop was
not fulfilled.
Peaches will not be so large a crop
as last year but apples hold their own
and will be a good crop, judging from
the present outlook,
One of the best sources OF reveue
for East Tennessee farmers would be
cabbage, if they could make crop,
which seems to be impossible because
OF the ravages of insects which destroy
it before it can head up. The insect
known as the Southern cabbage fly,
(pieris protodice) which is a sort of a
butterfly, deposits its larva on the
plants, and these larva destroy them,
The fly is of y greonish blue color,
with four longitudinal yellow stripes
and covered with black dots. 1t feeds
on the plant at all stages OF growth
and can not be exterminated. In
small patches, hand picking and al
lowing chickens to feed in the patch
will keep the insects down, but in
large patches this cannot b. done.
The early cabbage used in Knox
vile comes from Florida, Alabama
and South Carolina, while we depend
entirely upon Virginia for fall and
winter supplies. Considering the fact
that cabbage is always high here, sell
ing lately as high as ten cents per
pound, it does seem as though some
plan could be adopted whereby cab
bage could be successfully raised in
East Tennessee. There is money in
it, and big money, too, and the man
who succeeds in making a crop stand
and mature will have pile of money,
depending on the size of his patch.
Prices for all kinds of farm produce
had ruled high for two or three years,
SO that farmers have no reason to
grumble, People who come here
from the North say that vegetables are
much dearer in Knoxville than in
New York, Chicago, or Cincinnati
markets AS Knoxville grows in
population and the demand increases
prices will get sitter unless the pro.
, duction is increased to equal the de
mand.
Market gardening, followed on
scientifcprincipes, will pay as well il
East Tennessee as anywhere on earth
There is no doubt OF this. And there
is opportunity near Knoxville nov
for number of GARDENERS. Thor
oughly practical men will succeed anC
make money. But slip-shod garden
ing or slip-shod farming will fail il
any county and on any land.

The outlook Tor big crops this sea-

tation hump itself. 1t will be remem
bered that last seasons crops were as
fine as ever grown in Tennessee, the
corn crop especially being abundant
and the grain never so large There
is little doubt now that the crops
OF East Tennessee the present season
will be fully up to last years yield.
In fact, farmers think all kinds OF root
crops will be better, especially pota
toes, of which there is a larger acreage
planted than ever before.
Small grain is good generally
though some patches were injured by
the late frosts. The average, however,
will be better than anticipated dur
ing early spring.
The corn crop of 1889 was the most
prolific and yielded the largest and
best grain within remembrance oil

indication that the crop of 1890 will
be just as good.

The payroll Of the Carnegie Land
Company is increasing every week. 1t
now amounts to $4,000 a month, and
for the next six months, while the iron
work isgoing up on the furnace, it will
reach the handsome sum OF 100000.
1t is estimated that $4,000 monthly
in pay-rolls will support a town OF
5000 people. At that rate the Carne-
gle Land Company can look after
$4,000 people for the ncxt six months,
to say nothing of our other numerous
enterprises that pay out weekly thou
sands OF dollars. When the furnace
is in operation it alone will put $4O,-
900 monthly in circulation in John
son City. Is there another town in
the South with a more substantial
basis? We think not.

Town Building.

Manufacturers Record
The sale of town lots is, OF course, a
necessary point of every town-build-
ing enterprise, but the BODYBUILDING
is also necessary part of it, No well
conceived and properly conducted
scheme Of development in the south
has ever failed, Where there has
been judicious selection OF locality
and an energetic management and
sufficient capital, there has always
been success, but part Of the manage
ment has consisted in the establish.
ment OF factories to utilize the raw
material, whose managers and en-
ployes would make up a population
needing land for its stores and dwell
ings. Any attempt to ignore the
foundation and build in the air will
result in failure, and ought to.
Every word Of the above is true and
Johnson City people are building the
foundation for the largest and hest
town in the Central South. There il
nothing fictitious about our boom
The location is perfection, and as al
evidence that the people lave faith il
the future Of the city, there are nearly
200 houses being erected in johnson
City to-day and more than $1,OOO,OOt
has been expended in building her,
this year. A $50 ton furnace and
100000 hotel are nearing compile
