EDITOR COMET Margaret and
have just returned from johnson City,
where we spent several very unhappy
days visiting ourfriends. 1t is not at
all likely that we will ever see your
town again. To say that eve are dis
gusted would only mildly express it..
We expected to have some courtesies
shown us while there, but we found
that to be an unknown quantity with
the people of johnson City. They
didn't take time to even speak to Mar
garet aud l. Everyone seemed to, be full
of business and in great hurry all the
time. and didn't care whether we were
enjoying ourselves or not. Then at
night we could scarcely sleep for the
noise made by several of the factories
that run night and day. Margaret is a
bit nervous like, and the terrible fuss
made by the whistles of the many fac
tories every morning almost Frustrated
her. johnson City is too busy and
hustling for us, SO we will content
ourselves the balance Of our days on
Sugar Hill, where everything is quiet.
Allow me to say, however, that your
town has made great progress since my
last visit, and there is no doubt but
what it is destined to become great
manufacturing center in the near fu-
ture.
