Another Factory.

Our city will have another industry
in few days, or a revival of an old one
at least. Receiver Broding has, by con-
sent of all the parties, sold the old axe
handle factory, established three years
ago by Miller & Carmichael, to the
Boring Bros, and they will engage at
once in the manufacture of plain han
, dies. Originally the plant cost $4,000,
but sold for $500. Deed was made
yesterday, but all the property was not
conveyed, as a portion OF it did not suit
the purchasers.
The purchasers are brothers of John
w. Boring, who has been identified
with the manufacturing interests of the
city for some time, and are enterpris-
ing, public spirited men and will be Q
valuable acquisition to the city.
This is what johnson City needs
more industries and she viii suffer
