Better Roads Needed

Good roads leading into the country
from johnson City would add wonder
1al'y to the grSwth of our town. The
roads coming into the city are almost
impossible during the winter months,
and consequently a great number of the
farmers are compelled to haul their pro
oucts to other places and do their trad.
ing. ~
Ii the roads were in better copdition
the farmers for ten and fifteen miles
around would do all their TRADING Of
TINS p"lnt. If the county will not take
hold OF this matter, our citizens sbould
and by liberal subscription from the
farmers, which they NO doubt will give
Will mako the burden lighter for the
people of johnson City,
Inc merchants should .agitate the
construction of better roads, as they
would reap greater results than any
other class of people. The Board Of
Trade has been giving this matter some
consideration, and no doubt will take
action soon, as its membership is com.
posed of our best business men who
see the advantages of good roads.

The Churches Of the City.

There is no town of its size in East
Tennessee that can boast of as many
advantages and enterprises as johnson
City. We have now in operation four
teen factories employing hundreds of
people, four rail roads, including the
Em breeville branch, electric lights,
street car line, water works, furnishing
pure spring water from the mountains,
fine schools, etc. Yet there is not a
town of its size anywhere but what has
better houses of worship. The churches
are all supplied with good preachers,
and the membership of the different
churches number something near Ii
hundred. The citizens of johnson
City are great church going people, and
there is not community any where
whose people are more religious as g
rule, and the interior Of the churches
are all right, but the exterior hat
been sadly neglected, and needs grea
deal Of fixing up.

The Public Schools.

The people OF johnson City are very
proud of their fine system of public
schools. Prof. Brown, who was elected

Deafness Can Not be Culed

by local applications as they can not reach the
diseased portion Of the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an nlamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces,
