ping in Greene County with relatives

johnson City Staff Ex-Governor
Taylor came home Sunday. Mr. Tay-
lor came from Washington where he
had been for a few days in the interest
of his East Tennessee friends. He
had just closed his western lecture
tour which was one of the most sue
cessful since he has been in the field.
But the Fiddle and tae Bow" is now
hung up for q while and the Governor
will entertain his numerous friends at
home IN the old time way.
johnson City Staff E. A. Shipley
was up from Jonesboro Tuesday and
made a business call at this office.
Bristol Courier: Ex-Governor Rob-
ert L. Taylor was on No. 6 last even
ing, en- route on another trip to Wash
ington. His visit to the capital city
is in the interest of A. J.. Patterson
who is a candidate for the southern
pension agency at Knoxville. The
Elk Governor talks like he has an idea
that Andy will git dat simmon yit."
Greeneville Republican President
johnson, of the Unaka and Nola-
chucky r. R., to be built from Morris
town to ~Embreville, informs us that
plans are being made that will lead to
the early completion of this work.
Tomakawk A Kansas populist
wants to levy a tax on all incomes
exceeding a million dollars. This is
a direct blow at newspaper men.
Bakersville News: 1t is authenti-
cally reported hat the famous Gran
berry furnace, this county, will blow
out about the first of July. We are
sorry to state the above, this will deprive
Mitchell County laborers of many
dollars and throw them out of employ
ment The mines will also shut down
and only one train a week between
Cranberry and johnson City will be
on the road. The cause is that a mar
ket sufficient to pay expense can not
be found. We trust that the furnace
will begin operation soon.
M%ountaineer: Capt. VIM. H. Mel
SOL was elected last Saturday as a
magistrate in the third civil district
to fill out the %unexpired term of Chair
mar w. P. Waters, who has moved to
Elizabethton. His majority over all
competitors was very large, evincing
his popularity with his neighbors and
the confidence which they reposed in
him. Capt. Nelson is a man of good
Judgment, and we predict That his in
fluence will be felt in the disposition
of county affairs.
Rogersville Herald The Star in its
last issue gives a list of our industries,
but in order to make the list complete
it should have added 3 justices of the
peace, n constable and 718 loafers.
We need n more lawyer and one
more doctor. If we had another doc
tor, we would have one for every grave
yard and two for the town at large
while if we had one more lawyer,
making 10 in all, we would have 5
each for the court house, Jail and Gala
boose. Let us swell our numbers. Re-
member that loafers under IS and over
40 years of age must pass a strict ex-
before being admitted. AZ
Rogersville Review We again re.
mark that it is a shame that mills will
only pay about 80 cents per bushel for
wheat and still continue to sell -four
at $3 per 100 pounds. The -four
trust, or combine, is one of the biggest
in the country. 1t is a speculation
upon the very staff of life. Flour
should be sold in proportion to the
price paid for wheat. The people will
have to resort to the old country
mills in self defense. Some of the burr
miles make good flour. We used to
eat 1t and thought it fine. Let us go
back to the old process.
