The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1891-08-20
From Butler.

To THE COMET: Thinking tina
perhaps some OF your many readers
would be interested to lealn the par
ticulars of growing little town up il
the mountains of East Tennessee
which is situated twelve miles east o.
Allentown, and nineteen miles south
OF Mountain City, I send you the fol
lowing to do with as you see fit:
At present we have no railway &C.
communications, but in a very short
time there will be a road completed
from Bristol, Tenn, via Elizabethton
and thence to Butler. The survey for
another road from Johnson City to
Greensboro, N. c., by Butler has been
completed, and an early completion
OF this road is expected.
Our scenery is beyond strangers
expectations. Here, at the confluence
OF Roam Greek and Watauga River
our country is not only attractive, but
healthy and beautiful. Nature seems
to have expanded her utmost care in
making the scenery romantic and
picturesque, Here Roam Creek, Gid
ing by with graceful curves, leaps to
kiss the maj estic Watauga, from whose
verdant banks lovely, fertile VALE y
spreads GU. to the adjacent hills and
surrounding mountains, cloud capped
and magnificent.
Town lots are nov being laid out,
and preparations for large town be.
ing made We are surrounded by good
Citizens full of vim and energy, ready
to push every advantage to its utmost.
We have as good a school as East
Tennessee affords, and every adyan.
tage is offered to the outside werld to
get that one thing-Education-the
foundation of all.
We take pleasure in offering every
advantage to capitalists who may wish
to come here and invest in land, be-
lieving that, (and with honest confqs.
sions) in five years, we will have a
growing little town of not less than
three to five thousand inhabitants.
Every prospect promises sure rewards
and invites the Investment of capital
and the exertion Of both muscle and
mind.

AN occasional slaughter of an inno-

two in this rushing, busy world, but
when it is Of daily occurrence it attracts
universal attention. This is why Ber-

avenue s. e.ss and No. II Railroad ave.
nue., Is always crowded with people. He
carries tremendous stock. consisting
OF nearly everything needed by house
holders and the way he kills off com
petition is an eye opener. If you will
call at his great store you will find the
clerks busy and the genial proprietor
overseeing everything, but no one is
ever too busy to welcome you. show you
what you want and sell you at prices
that will win tho acknowledgment that
he gives moro in quantity and quality
for less money than any other dealer.
Try him once and you will do 80 again.

AN 1NoENDIAnY CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
An Attempt to Burn Rogers s. O'Brieu's
Stable.

An Attempt to Burn Rogers 6 O'Erleu's
Stable.
What is supposed to be the bold work
of an inoendiary was perpetrated early
yesterday morning at the stables of
Rogers Sc O'Brien. About 1890 o'clock
one of the employees went into the rear
yard and discovered bright flame
springing up from pile Of hay and rub
bish placed against the stable on the
outside. A negro who had just started
the fire was standing by it, but when he
saw the approach, of the discoverer he
put his feet on the fire and stamped it
out
The man who discovered the flames
at once went for policeman, whom he
found near by, and together they re-
turned. The negro, who proved to be
Scott Thornton, was found hiding in an
alley near the stable. He was immed-
lately taken to tho station house and
locked up.
On being asked why he kindled the
fire, no said he was cold, and wanted to
warm himself. He did not know there
was any danger in what he had done.
There were about forty horses and a
largo quantity of feed in tho stables.
and few minutes longer the flames
would have been beyond control.
The stable boss and the man who
made the discovery, went before Mayor
Evans yesterday morning and lodged
complaint, but in the absence of the
proprietors of the stable warrant was
not issued, as the mayor was not fully
satisfied that an attempt had been made
to burn the stable. The case will, how
ever, he fully investigated tomorrow.

A LESSON IN ECONOMY.
The Best Goods for tho Least Money tn
Moral.

The Best Goods for tho Least Money the
Moral.
PEOPLE are striving to economize in
the purchase of everything they need.
This is proper. 1t is tho secret of sue
cess and should be known to every body.
Tho Christmas holidays are right
upon us and the people are interested
in knowing where and how to buy goods.
The object Of this article is to answer
these inquiries.
Probably the largest collection of USE
full and attrac tive holiday goods In the
city can be found at Donoldson's, No.
1873 Salem avenue. In addition to five
large floors packed with furniture and
house furnishing goods Of every descrip.
ton the first or street floor is veritable
Pandora's box.
Here the the readers of The TIMES
will find everything in holiday goods to
please young and old. Besides furni-
ture, pictures, brackets, clocks, lamps
and Queensware, china ware, vases, etc.
there is a collection of toys embracing
everything usually kept in stock by
first-class houses, and all marked down to
prices that absolutely defy competition.
A peep in Donaldsons windows will
reveal large and handsome collection,
but If the reader will step inside he or
she will discover that the windows are
very incomplete index to what awaits
them. If visitors do not see what they
want they should ask for it. Donaldson
has it in stock. It will pay everybody
to visit his place before buying holiday
goods.
