A general store carries all kinds OF
goods. Should the merchant adver.
tise in detail his entire stock, the
printers bill would break him up.
For that reason he mentions only a
few of them.
The lola agent of Santa Fe Route
can sell you a ticket to almost any
point on earth. 1t would require O
page of the REGISTER to tell the story.
We will therefore mention just one
thing, and it Is easy to remember:
If, after the corn and apples are
gathered, you want to go where there
is almort perpetual sunshine and flow
ers, CALIFORNIA, be sure to bear in
mind the personally conducted excur-
sions to Pacific Coast via. Santa Fe
Route, that leave Kansas City every
Friday morning. Through ticket from
lola to San Diego, Los Angeles or San
Francisco, $500 for double berth in

a great relief from the thousand per-
plexities of travelling alone in a new
country.

DIR. SCHLIEMANN'S will discloses
the fact that the famous explorer Of
Oriental ruins was an American citi.
zen and had a wife who now lives in
indianapolis. He was divorced from
her in 1869, but he remembered her in
his will with bequest of 100000
francs in gold. There are very few
great men these days who do not con-
meet with America at some point in
their career.

THE reformers who want to force a
''new method of spelling" upon the
world, write it 'jerrymander.n Be
ing illiterate people they do not know
that the word is derived from a prop
er name, Gerry, the famous politician
of Washington's time, who invented a
popular method for carving out con-
gressional districts so as to insure
party success.-AtchssOn Globe.
They seem also not to know that
the G, with which the word begins,
has the hard sound, and not the soft,
or j, sound.

THE COMET has often asserted that
more freight is handled by the East

road at this place than at any point
on the line Of road between Chatta-
nooga and Bristol except Knoxville.
On Monday the 18th inst, nearly one
and a half million pounds OF freight
was received. OF that amount 1862
9Sl pounds was for J ,hnson City and
2s6, $50 pounds was delivered to the
E. 7. & w. n. G. Railroad or six full
Car loads. Thirty.two Of the car loads
received for Johnson City were in
bulk and did not include the small
shipments or "local" as it is formed
The collections for the city lreigh
amounted to $2,2S024 and from tb,
Z. 7. & w. N. G. to $22SSS. TIL,
amount of freight shipped on the sam,
day was 27l,95Y pounds. This da.
was not specially selected for thes
figures but is an average days doing

THE UNAKA AND NoLAACHucKY
RAILROAD.
Headed Towards johnson City and
WIN Come for the Asking.

Mr.. G. G. Rankin and n. S. John
son, representing the Unaka and Nola.
chucky Railroad company, were in
the city Monday in the interest Of the
company. They met the city council
in the afternoon and made PROPOSE
ton that they would build their road
from Paint Rock on the North Carroll
ma line to Embreeville and connect
with our Johnson City and Carolina
road il the citizens would take some
stock in the enterprise, Greene coun-
ty recently voted $4,000 to the capital
stock and the Embreeville Iron Com
pany has agreed to take $25, 900 stock.
Fifty thousand dollars more have been
subscribed by private individuals along
the line. The road is intended to con-
meet with the Knoxville and North
eastern at or near Newport, but will
be built now from Embreville to Paint
Rock or Warm Springs on the West
ern North Carolina railroad, 1t would
shorten the distance from here tc
Asheviiie about 81 miles, and it is d
well.known fact that such road
could be built on less than one pei
cent. grades and would pass through
the finest iron ore beds and forests o
hard woods in tire Unaka range o
mountains, to say nothing of the agri
cultural and tobacco sections it woulC
traverse.
The board took the matter unde
consideration and appointed Col. Mat
son, Sam Simcox and W. B. White
side a committee to confer with tn
Board of Trade aud see what actiol
would be advisable. The Board Q
Trade met Monday night. Mr.. Since
presented the matter and displayed
map showing the proposed lines. Ate
considerable debate it was decided t
appoint a committee Of three to &C
with the committee from the counc
8 with instructions TO ask the Count
Court to order an election to allow tn
: people OF Washington county to vot
$4,000 to the road. j. G. Campbell
w. o. Thomas and Cy H. Lyle wei
J appointed.
II was deemed advisable to ask til
} county to aid because it is more d
: rectly interested than Johnson Cit.
} as the road will run through sixtee
miles OF the county and ends at
promising village fourteen miles frol
: Johnson City. There should, and "
! believe there will, be unanimity
action in favor OF the road.
