Retrospective.

Looking back over three years bus
mess, we observe seven changes in our
Directory. Four of these gentlemen
have gone out on account of other
business matters demanding their
undivided attention. Three have been
forced to submit to the inevitable and
have succumbed to the ravNges OF the
panic, and resigned their positions on
the Directory.
We grappled the first year with that
abominable snare and delusioL the
"Gross Premium" plan-crur mathe-
mdticorunl (the puzzle OF mathemati.
cians). For the last two years we have
struggled and wrestled with the fuan-
cial panic.
We have seen two Of our three banks
Ego to the wal" one of them paying
the stockholders nothing, the other
losing the entire invested capital Of
its stockholders and the Comptroller
now calling on them for an assessment
equal to the amount of stock held by
them. We have seen some OF our
best industrial enterprises go into the
hands of Receivers and wound up at a
total loss to the stockholders, while
those who have been able to keep
"head above water" are earning moth.
ing for the stockholders and the stock
in most instances can be bought for
90 cents on the dollar.
This County can boast of three as
good Country" banks as can be found
anywhere. They are managed by the
best fnanci9rs in the county, but for
the past two years they have been able
to earn scarcely more than operating
expenses. All these "ohject lessons
stimulate "the faith that is in u.s."
and prove that there is no security
for money as good as first mortgage

OF this a mount $22,927O7 has been
paid during the year 1894. A great
amount of this money has been paid
to laboring people, who in more pros
porous days began to lay aside a few
dollars each month in building and
loan stock for "a rainy day." and now
this money has come back to them az
a time when they must have it to keep
the wolf from tho door. To such it
has been veritable God,send.

THERE IS NOT A SINGLE WITHDRAWAL

An ENJOYABLE Occasion.

The entertainment given ct the
First Presbyterian church by the
Ladies' Aid Society, under the man.
agement of Mrs. George T. Mcneil,
last Tuesday evening was an enioya-
BILE occasion, and those failing to at.
tend, who have literary tastes and
love soul-stirring music, were losers.
The program, from start to finish,
was interesting and highly edilying.
The selections, both of the music and
the Rotations, were of the highest
order, and the rendition of everything
programmed for the evening surpassed
the expectations of every one present.
While it is true that Johnson City
has as good native talent as any town
OF its size, it is nevertheless true that
the short time taken up in preparing
to come before the public caused some
apprehension as to the success of the
entertainment; but in this every one
present was agreeably surprised, as
everything passed off so nicely and
was so well received that one could
but think that the management could
only have been by one who was mas
ter of the situation.
The success which attended this
entertainment Is unnistakable evil
dence Of the fact that Literary enter
tainments OF this order are much
better received and much better pat.
ronized and more highly enjoyable
than any other entertainments. 1t ia
to be hoped that high.grade literary
and musical entertainments will take
the place of all other modes OF raising
money for the church.

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stage. and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Cstarrh being con-
stitutional disease, requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces Of the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature to do its

In the past three years we have had
five mortgage foreclosures. These
were loans made in the e4rly life of
the Association and to members who
at the time were IN reasonably pros.
porous circumstances, but who have
since succumbsd to the panic. We
bought in the property for the amount
of our debt and have it rented now for
considerably more than enough to
pay insurance and taxes. We will be
able to dispose of all this property
without the loss OF dollar, and we
hope at nice profit, as soon as there
is any improvement in general bust
