MIR. Gladstone sends upEa mote of wall
at things in general and at Italy in par
tIcular for what he Iaments as the
"megalomania" which has possessed her
to go beyond the European province
marked out for her in national infancy.
His views on the conduct of European
governments in the Eastern question are
strong. They seem TO him to be covered
with indelible disgrace. The first and the
worst OF them is the Kaiser William.
fortunately for Dir. Gladstone he is be-
yond the jurisdiction of lese majestic.
otherwise his animadversions on the
German Emperor might bring him to
grief.

A German doctor has started the theory
that most drunkards can be cured by a
very simple and pleasant course of treat
ment--namely, by eating apples at every
meal. According to his notion. apples pos
s9ss properties which taken in large
quantities, entirely do away with the
craving that all confirmed drunkards
have for drink. It is worth a trial at all
events.

SOLD At LAST.
The Old Furniture Factory Goes
Into New Hands
And VIII be Converted Into Cigar Box
Factory.

The biggest deal that has occurred in
johnson City, so far as future bene-
fits are concerned, was made last Sat-
urday when the Clerk & Master sold
the old furniture factory at auction.
The plant was bid in by r. f. Wells,
of Jonesboro, as agent for J. NJ. Buck
and G. G. Harris at the upset price of
$4,000. These gentlemen had already
made o sale of the entire plant to W.
E. Uptegrove & Bro, Of New York, and
Immediately delivered the goods as
soon as the decree went down confirm
ing the SALE
The New Workers who now own the
factory, are extensive dealers in hard
wood veneers and cigar boxes. They
hold exclusive patents for manufactur-
ing Spanish cedar cigar box from
poplar timber and are supplying about
5000 customers at this time. They will
put this plant in operation at once on
these boxes for southern and western
trade, and expect to employ about rs
people in this branch alone. They will
also put in veneering machinery and
cut veneers on equally as large a SCALE
The new machinery necessary will ar
rive here in ten days or two weeks and
it is the intention Of the people to have
the plant ready to begin work by the
first Of the year.
The firm is worth about $4,000 and
is putting in factory in the south
simply as a matter of business and pre-
fered to buy property in this city rather
than accept sites offered at other points
This is conclusive evidence of their
good business sense.
Mr.. Thomas, a member of the firm,
and Mr.. Smith, the manager of the
plant, have rented property and will
move their families here at once. It's a
long lane that has no turn and you can
take THE COMETS word for it that
Johnson City has reached the turn in
the lane and will now go up awhile.

A telegram was received by Mrs. M.
r. Gentry late Thursday afternoon an
nouncing the death of her son, W. T.
Gentry, at Baltimore, from the effects
of an operation being performed for an
enlargement of some of the glands near
the heart. He had been In Baltimore
for about four weeks under treatment
and it was hoped an operation could be
avoided, but it was found necessary
and death ensued. Will Gentry was
born and raised in this place and has
been in the Government printing office
for the last four years. 1t was not
generally known here that he was in
bad health end the announcement of
his death was sad surprise to his
many friends as we'll as his widowed
mother and relatives. He was about
"a years old and the only support of
his mother and sister, the only mem
bsrs of the family at home. 1t is posi-
BILE the remains will be brought home
for interment. "Will" learned his
trade in The COMET office and was not
only good printer but was a great
big-hearted, manly boy, a dutiful son
and THE COMET joins many others in
extending sympathy to the bereaved
ones.

you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
