The Drummers.

Johnson City seems to be kind of
headquarters of the drummers who
travel this end of the state. Every
Sunday several of their jolly faces can
be seen at the hotels and even among
the audiences of the different churches.
This is little boost for us and we
should appreciate more perhaps than
we do.
The fact is that this is matter not
to be overlooked, and johnson City
should not only be the gamer but her
business men should try to return the
compliment. For instance, there is
Chas. Odom, Tom Hurst and Chas. w.
Carr, three Johnson City boys who
spend Saturday night, Sunday and
Sunday night with us. They all travel
for the best houses in Knoxville and
houses which will and do sell goods
just as cheap as any other. Every
thing else being equal, there is no
doubt that our business men should
order through these young men.
This is. time when all' the Johnson
City people and those whose lots were
once cast with the town that doomed
and busted, should stand together. No
better or more deserving set of young
men carry the grip than those just men
toned. They are hustlers. Some of
them were once at the head Of big bus
inesses here and went under fighting
for johnson City, and now it is no
more than what is due them that the
business men here help them out when
ever an opportunity presents itself.
