Board Of Trade Active.

The Board of Trade seems to be tax
ing great interest in the upbuilding
and welfare Of the city. The members
are taking held and locking after a
number Of. things which will prove bene-
fetal to the future growth of our town.
They have taken action in the matter,
and are desirSus of putting themselves
on record as favsring the exemption of
all factories from taxation for a reason
able length of time, which will doubt
less locate in the State in the future if
released of such heavy burden.
This is enterprise and aggressiveness
in tho right direction and the mem
bers Of the board of trade should be
congratulated upon their fayoring such
a measure which is likely to be before
the next legislature, A measure with
such importance attached to it as this
should be treated upon tits merits, and
we hope our representatives at the next
legislature can soc wherein the people
of the state can be best benefited by it's
adoption, which will encourage and
bring hundreds of factories TO Tennes-
see which otherwise would go else
where as many are passing us by on &C
count Of heavy taxation. Johnson City
promises now of doing great things in
the manufacturing line in the future,
and with the proper encouragement the
growth of the town will be wonderful
within the next few years. Consider
ing the great depression which has
swept the entire country for several
years johnson City has made substan-
tial progress along most every line. Our
mineral resources and great forests Of
timber are almost insxhaustible, and
what more can we ask with the reception
of capital, and that with little encour-
sgemeRt will come in the near failure.

From Sugar Hill:

The latest news frsm Sugar Hill is to
the effect that they have followed the
actions of the other nearby towns and
have shat their gates against us. Our
friend, Bill Head is general manager
of all the hill people, and his action in
this matter sorely grieves us, as Billy
is a special favorite with us, and has
been accorded many courtesies from
our people.
Margaret. who is Bills estimable
and highly cultivated wife became very
much exasperated ever her loving hus-
bands conduct, and has exposed the
entire plot to us. Margaret says that
Bill made speech to the hill folks few
nights ago, asking their help in adyer-
Using the smallpox in johnson City in
a most terrible way, SO as to keep the
country people out of town, aud their
business interest on the hill would
profit thereby. Margaret says she can
also prove by Ike Whistenhunt that
Bill made the statement in the same
speech, that the number of cases of
smallpox in johnson City were just
simply enormous, and the remaining
part of the population who did not have
it now were only waiting for additional
"pest houses" to be built so they could
take the disease also Now, Margaret
was mad, very mad, when she exposed
Bill, and We are disposed to doubt hel
statement under the existing circum
stances and feel confident that Marga
ret has prevaricated. We are inclined
to threw the mantle of charity arOunC
Willie anyway, and await the results
as we will not abuse our frient
until all the facts in the case are full.
developed.

That Circular.

We print today in the columns of
The COMET an exact copy Of circular
which has been gotten out by those in
authority and signed by the physicians
of the city giving truthful condition
Of the smallpox situation in our town.
AS we have said before, there has been
NO occasion for such great excitement
as the disease has always been under
CONTROL, and not at all liable to spread.
Some Of our neighbors would have the
outside world believe it would be al
most death for any one to come within
a milo of town. The uncallsd-for ad-
vSrtisement that We have received has
been very damaging to the merchants,
as they have been the greatest looserS.
Thousands of dollars have been driven
to other points of trade which other
wise would have remained here. Mr..
Bruner who conducts the most extern
sive dry goods establishment in the
city informs us that his trade alone has
fallen off from two to five hundred dol
lars each week since the scare began,
There is no danger whatever Of COM
ing to tswn (neither has there been at
any time) and the country people
should have no fesrs in the least, as
there is no danger Of any one coming
in contact with the disease.
There is only one precaution to be
taken and that is, to keep ont of the
"pest house" which is situated about
two miles from the city. We would
not advise any one to make that loaf
ing place while in the city as you
might get badly scared if not catch the
smallpox. With this one precaution
you will be entirely ssfs to enter the
city.

lately isolated, with every known case
Of exposure, from all other persons,

ion of the undersigned, there is abso-
lately no danger to the travelling pub
