. The Popular Douglas Shoes.

There is no shoe made for mems wear
that has attained greater popularity
than the celebrated w. l.. Douglas
shoe. The fact that they combine style
and quality at low price has given
them universal Endorsement. The
manufacture of these shoes has made it
possible for man in the most ordinary
circumstances to keep himself provided
with footwear of as good style as the
market affords-the extremel " low price
at which they are sold placing them
within reach Of all.
The only cheap quality in them how
ever is the price; in all other respects
they grade as high as any shoe in the
market. Their lasting qualities have
been fully tested and found to be un-
equalled. They are not only of good
style when new, but retain their shape
and excellent appearance until com.
pletely worn oIt-a very rare quality
in even the highest priced shoes. They
are sold in johnson City by R. L. & B
Bruner, who have just received new

Trestle Burned.

The train on the 3C.'s made bold
move yesterday in burning the bridges
behind it. As the train went out in
the morning it dropped some clinkers
from the fire box of the engine onto
the Hunt trestle near this city. The
timbers took fire and when the train
attempted to get back to the city 1t
found that it could not cross. A sec
ton of several feet had been burned,
leaving the naked rails. The train will
not get over before this afternoon some
time. If it had been dark the train
would probably have gone through the
bridge.
