The Watauga Lumber Company

Among the large manufacturing es-
adjustments in the city the Watauga
Lumber Company deserves place. 1t
is one of the largest planning mills in
East Tennessee. AS mentioned two
weeks ago Stratton & Stratton have
sold their planning mill to the Watauga
Lumber Company. The Company
has been duly chartered ane has elect
ed the following officers and di-
rectors: A. II. Pettibone, pres. H. w.
Hargreaves, v. pres. (; j. L. Cooper, gen.
manager; L. o. Strain, secretary and
treasurer HI. III. Stratton, TN An
dersen and the above named officers
are the directors. The capital stock
is $4,000 and has all been sold. The
planning mill has only been establish
ed about two years and has grown
from a $4,000 plant to one of
the largest mills in East Tennessee
and it is now doing business of
$4,000 or $4,000 a month against
81 900 or 81 100 month when it first
started. That shows how Johnson
City has grown. Their work, how
ever, is not confined alone to this
place. They are doing an immense
business in Virginia and have several
large contracts on hand now for work
along the Clinch Valley extension of
the n. &. w. road. The company is
to furnish all kinds of build
ing material and general planning mill
work and in order to fill orders
promptly carry on the yard about
$4,000 worth of lumber. All the
officers are business men and the
general manager is an experienced |
builder and been with the mill since |
it started as manager.

Fatal Result of Attachment to a
Theater Syren.

Fatal Result of Attachment to
Theater Syren.
Paris Letter London Times.
Considerable interest has been caused
by the suicide of Nj. ConStantin Ven
tura, nephew of former project of
Bucharest, and cousin of Prince Milan,
eX-king OF Servia. He was only twenty
four years of age, and his fate was the
logical consequence of having loved not
wisely, but too we'll. The young fellow
possessed some private fortune, and was
we'll known in the theatrical world,
where he made the acquaintance of
certain actress, to whom Immediately
he lost his heart. He fell desperately in
love, but it was hopeless passion, for
he could not continue to discharge the
claims upon his purse which the unfor
tunate lialSon created. In his distress
the loye-Sick youth more than once at,
tempted to terminate his misery. Once
he swallowed morphine, but the dose
was insufficient to kill. He was very
i'll for while, but he still persisted.
The second time he fired carbine at
his head, but only succeeded in shoot
ing off finger, which, it is said, he aft
erward preserved i'll spirits. In a third
futile attempt to take his life he made
use of a toy revolver. which he placed
against his breast. The ball, which was
arrested by his clothing, scarcely grazed
the skin. The effort was made toward
the close of last year. A temporary
reconciliation with his lady-lOve fol-
lowed, but it did not last long. To
shake off his fit of melancholia he went
to Nice, but he could not keep away
poric Earlu n EahrnorU hQ
again approached his flame, and gave
her costly ring, but next morning he
received his definite congo, which
threw him into fever of fury and de-
spair. Nevertheless, he made last APP
peal, and obtained a further interview
with her at hotel. He duplicated
her to return to their old relations, but
the actress refused to entertain the pro-
poSal, and Ventura thereupon lost con-
troll of himself. The ring which
he had given her he demanded
back, saying she should have re-
turned it of her own accord. The lady
resented his tone, and threatened to de-
fend herself, at which the young fellow
attacked her with the ferocity of brute
beast. knocking out tooth and inflict-
ing such injuries as obliged his victim
to keep her bed for a fortnight. The
police interfered, but she refused to
prosecute, and the young Roumanian
was left alone. Daily he became more
moody and depressed. At length he
has just realized his project. He went
to bed at his hotel here, and rested the
barrel of a revolver upon his lips. AS
he pulled the trigger he seized the bell
rope with his right hand. The wretched
man had just breathed his last when the
waiter entered the room.

Thomas Lucas gave an address on the
present short-hour situation. A few
members were admitted, but the union

recent reduction in hours has aided
greatly in bringing about this result.
The shoemaker's assembly held a
special meeting Thursday evening, to
discuss the condition of the trade in st.
Paul. The meeting was one of utmost
Importance, and the fact is aScertained
that an active agitation is going on to
perfect the organization so as to be able
to introduce more uniform scale of
wages and reduction of hours. A strike
for an increase of wages in factory in
South st. Paul is also a reason for the
activity III increasing the membership.

A RUINED HOME.
spring trousers.


The housekeeping mania, while not
enumerated among the statutory causes
for divorce, certainly should be. Many
a once happy home is now scene of
desolation because of the appearance of
this dread disease. Imagine the feelings
of a man who comes home from bust
ness, worn and jaded with the cares of
the day, who finds his home all con-
fusion. He has been looking forward
to an evening of peace and quietneSs.
Ordinarily he would eat good dinner,
light cigar, elevate his feet upon the
fender, and settle down to solid COM
fort. What wonder that there is murder
in that mans heart when he finds every
thing so different. His first view of his
home is disheartening. On the lawn is
piled a mass of inextricable household
debris. Tables are upon their backs.
their legs pointing heavenward, and
their presence in the yard sending the
man Sheolward. Chairs and sofas dispute
with one another the honor of occupy,
ing the most unaccuStomed position.
Carpets are upon the fence, and clubs
are trumps in the hands of couple of
StalWart negroes, who are hammering
the life out of poor little
carpet. Picture frames are marred
and Scared and their glasses
are broken. Inside the house several
demons in the guise of women are ruin
ing the plastering, spelling the paper,
scraping from the walls all of the paint
that is not put on with hydraulic ce-
ment. 1t is maddening. No wonder
men become diSagreeable at home and
gradually drift into becoming habitual
drnnkards, when they have such
troubles to cope with.
