The Cell gp.

The public meeting at the opera
house Friday night was not so largely
attended as was expected, on account
of the downpour of rain, but it was
large enough to demonstrate that the
people are in favor Of the college. AS
the readers will remember this meeting
was to decide whether or not sub
scription of $4,000 for the college could
be raised. That aount was not ON she
lists by 1000, bat it was decided that
as there would lie no trouble to raise
the remainder AND that as the time was
short the committee had best send in
the option and what had already been
subscribed by the citizens, with guar
antee that the rest of the $4,000 would
be raised A subscription of 5000
and an option on q 500, 900 building
for $50, 600 is the best proposition that
can be submitted, and it is reasonable
to suppose that johnson City will get
the college.

The Me tug a Fizzle.

The citizens financial movement was
q complete failure. A meeting was adj
vertised for last Saturday night ostensi-
bly, for the purpose of seeing how the
public expenses of the city could best be
reduced, but the real object of the
meeting, if for any other purpose, was
not disclosed, as there was no meeting
at all. The leading signers Of the call
were not there and a small crowd stood
about an hour in the rain in front of
the opera house. The financial condi-
ton of the crowd was in such perfect
sympathy with the alleged movement
that the $3.50 necessary to get the
house open could not be raised.
1t is suggested that when this clan
wants to meet again they select Crows
Knob, just back Of the tannery, as it is
absolutely free.
