Business and Dwelling Houses Scarce.

There was time when a great many
business houses on Main street were
unoccupied, but at present there is not
business house of any Importance at
all but what is in use. Idle dwellings
are equally as hard to find. There are
only three or feur that are not Occu-
pied, and doubtless they will not stand
in that condition long as the demand
fer dwellings, are increasing all the
while. This state Of affairs speaks
well for our tswn and the indications
are that we will have better times in
the future. With the exception of the
boom, there are more people employed
in johnson City at present than at any
time during the history Of the city.
