1t is never ending source of Won
der to me why so many American
people patronize Chinese laundries
when there are plenty of laundries
run by people of their own nationaIi-
ty, where better work at as low prices
is done. Everyone who has gone to
Chinese laundry must have at one
time or another experienced one of
two inconveniences-lo his check or
had no money to pay for his laundry.
In either case John Chinaman is in
exorable. You must have both re-
quisites or suffer the inconvenience
of going without clean linen until you
find them. Whereas one needs no
check at an American laundry and if
he has not the money will hardly be
deprived of personal comforts besides
having his laundry delivered at his
house.

II asked the question "Have you

general principles, to answer, eyes"
But, if you are sure of it; that is, if
you ever feel any distress after eating
or any pains of whatever description
in the region of the stomach, you have
cot something more than an ordinary
stomach in other words, you have got
a diseased stomach. The stomach is

Encourage Home Industries.

One Of the principle causes of the
scarcity of money and the consequent
hard times in this section, is the failure
of our people to encourage as they
should, home industries.
We need more factories of every
kind. small factories that can be man
aged to begin with-to manufacture as
many as possible, our goods at home.
We ought to make our own wagons
and harness, knit our own socks, make
our shoes, can our own corn and beef,
fruits and berries, make our own brooms
and manufacture our tobaccos and CT
CARS. There is no good reason why oil
these things should not be done right
here in johnson City in abundance.
We have plenty of material, and, if,
with our present facilities, we can not
make all these things quite so cheaply
as they do in some other places, it
would amply pay in the long run, to
have and patronize such enterprises;
because they would give employment
to hundreds Of people who are now COM
paratively idle, and save the money, to
be circulated at home, that is now sent
abroad to purchase these various COM
modities.
If our merchants and business men
generally would encourage such home
enterprises by giving them, as nearly
as possible their entire patronage, it
would not be long before we would
have all the enterprises mentioned
above and many similar ones in active
operation. This would save in a few
years to the town and to the country at
large, many thousands of dollars that
are now sent away for goods.
Suppose, for instance, man with
limited means comes to Johnson City
aud starts up, say, q cigar factory, and
the merchants who handle cigars, would
give him their entire patronage, so far
as he could, with his limited means sup
ply the demand He would of course
succeed if he were industrious and un-
derstood his business and his business
would soon grow to large proportions,
and he would soon be able to more
than supply the home demand. 1t is
easy to see how his success would be al
advantage to the town. His success
would mean employment for greater
number of laborers and greater mum
Der of paid laborers means greater
volume of currency in circulation, an(
this means better business-bettel
times. If the various articles referred
to above were manufactured here
bought here, wholesaled and retaileC
here-it would add each year severa
thousands of dollars to the volume o
our circulating medium. Business mel
should encourage home industries.

The Republicans Name Municipal
Victims Friday Night.

'ASN'AS = AN"J HAb""
OF all the tame things to occur In the
way of political conventions the city
has seen for some time, found an en-
bodiment in the republican municipal
convention Saturday night. A sickly
primary meeting had been held in the
various wards in the city Friday night,
and the meeting Saturday night was to
ratify the peoples choice"
Judge Chandler was elected chair
man, and he opened his mouth and
spake, but what he said was not OF
sufficient importance to be recorded.
His theme was harmony" but if
the indications are to be taken as proof
his preaching is all in vain
j. A, Vines was chosen secretary.
Not that anything would be done to
Iecord, but just to keepup appearances.
The result of the primary was an
nounced as follows.
Hart for mayor, Wilburn Hodges for
city constable, alder men: First ward,
T. b. Strain; second ward, l. N. Beck
ner; third ward, II. H. Persell; fourth
ward, T. j. Cox.
Hart beat his republican opponent
sixty-one votes, and is therefore at the
head of the ticket.
1t is weak ticket and begging as it
is at a divided party, will be easily
defeated
Mayor Hart delivered himself
of his usual remarkable utterances
when called forward by few colored
men in the rear of the house. He used
the pronoun 81" with the usual ease
and frequency, What he had not done
for the town he promised to do.
He got pretty good applause when he
sat down, but it was not strong enough
to be taken for an encore.
Paul Wofford publicly agreed to
support the nominee and those of the
aldermanic candidate present tested
their lung power in sweating fidelity.
1t could be plainly seen that it was
not representative republican meeting.
The faces and tongues of the main
leaders could not be seen and heard.
Mr.. Brading was most striking
illustration of how enthusiastic man
can make his absence.
A great effort was made to conseal the
fact that rupture exists in the g, o. p.
of the city, but it was bungling job.
No platform waz adopted and Mayor
Hart said that he would run on his
record. He did not say whether it was
his record as mayor OF man, but there
is not enough difference in them to
call forany investigation.
If there is republican in the town
who stands no chance to be mayor, it
looks like that mans name is Hart, the
nominee of few friends.

The people of our quiet town were
shocked Sunday evening to learn of the
death of a prominent citizen, James M.
Erwin, who died at New Haven, Conn.
Mr.. Erwin had been up there since
last fall engaged with his brothers-in-
law, John Q. aud Joe Tison, in the man
agement of the eommissary of Yale
college.
His health had been splendid, and
his family whom he had left at home
here while he was temporarily engaged
away from home, were not in the least
prepared for the sad intelligence, as his
many letters never failed to mention
that he was in the best of health and
spirits.
Last Saturday night he retired in the
usual good spirits, for he was one of
those jolly fellows whose optomistic in
clination always showed themselves,
but some time during the night the I'M
expected visit of the destroyer was
paid, and when he did not appear next
morning and his room was opened he
was found dead.
While he slept, swift stroke of epo-
lexy ended his earthly career, and he
unconsciously sank into that eternal
sleep peaceful as a child.
His eyes were closed, and on his
face was an expression ofrepose. There
was no terror there-nothing but the
shadow of adark wing.
James M. Erwin was a native of Uni
col county, but had made his home in
this city for several years. He was one
ofthe bestknown men in this communn-
ity and was liked by all, He was man
Of strong convictions, was brave sol
der in the federal army and had held
many important positions of trust.
His wife, who survives him, was
Eliza Tilson, daughter Of Esq. Tilson,
of Unicoi county, and sister of John
Q. and Joe Tilson, who are well known
at Yale college, where they graduated
with high honors. He leaves three chill
dren, sons, Will, Henry and Arthur.
The latter is not yet grown. The fam
lily was devoted to the father, and the
shock has been a severe one to it.
The deceased was a member of the
Baptist church and a conscientious
Christian. He was a member of the G.
A. r. and the Masonic fraternity.
His remains arrived here on the yes
thule Tuesday and were met at the
train by the johnson City Masonic
lodge and conducted to the residence
Wednesday morning they were tai Ell
on the Three-C. S to Unicoi county, anC
buried in the old family burying ground
Great respect was shown the deaC
man at Yale, The faculty held relig
ious service over the remains, and the
j. A. R. post of New Haven, acted as
escort to the train.
John Q. and Joe Tilson accompanied
the remains, leaving New Haven abou
> o'clock Monday morning,
The deceased was about so years old
aud was we'll and favorably known
throughout upper East Tennessee.
More than one hundred persons wen
from here, including most of thu
Gasons. 1t was said to be the larges
burial ever witnessed in Unicoi county
