Our Outlook Brightning.

Johnson City is fast becoming one of
the most important manufacturing
towns in this country, Capitalists
are seeing its many advantages and are
locating here, establishing manufOctur-
ing establishments Of all kinds. We are
situated in the very heart of the finest
mineral and timbered country in the
United States. We havesmore factories
in operation now and being built than
any town of its size in the State.
When the o. r. and G. railroad is
completed which will be a trunk line
from Charleston, South Carolina to
Chicago, opening up one of the finest
timbered countries in the South, thus
giving this city in addition to the three
railroads we now have, still greater IA
cilities for becoming one of the great
est manufacturing centers in the State.
Johnson City has passed through a
most terrible ordeal for the past few
years, but our people have great
amount of push and energy, and have
never given up, under the pressure,
and today the dark clouds which have
been hanging over the town for so
long have been pushed aside and the
light is breaking in upon us, and with
the proper encouragement to capital
lists the future of johnson City is as
sured.
The merchants sell more goods and
are in better condition financially than
they have been for years. The.farmers
are also doing better, and have more
ready money than at time in the histo-
ry of this county, from the fact every
thing can be cashed that is raised on
the farm.
The above statements are facts and
cannot be disputed. johnson City is q
good thing and why not 'push it
along"

Removed to the Pest House.

Ed Dowell, colored, who came to the
city last week from Middlesboro, KY,
with full developed case of smallpox,
has been removed to the city's pest
house which is located about two miles
from town. The house from which he
was removed, on Stratton hill, is still
under quarantine rules and no one will
be allowed to come cut until the dan
ger is entirely over. DIR. Broyles, the
city physician reports Dowell almost
cut of danger. The city is not likely
to have another case of the disease, as
a great deal of care has been taken
with this one, and is not liable to
spread any farther.

Thieves Cantnred.

Detective ". G.. Baldwin, Of the N.
& W. railroad, arrived in this place last
Friday and arrested Ike and Joe Led
fords, who live on the outskirts of
town.
Sometime age the Ledfords had their
trunks checked from Wythville, Va. to
Bristol. The night they arrived there
they broke into the baggage room and
stole them out and then sued the rail-
road company for $3.50, claiming the
contents of each trunk worth that
amount. When Mr.. Baldwin made the
arrest they cried and admitted their
guilt, giving him same desired informa-
tion-where the trunks were-and also
the checks.
The thieves were taken back to Bris-
tol to await trial. But il is most likely
that they will be given few years in
the Virginia penitsntiary,

Around the World.

Victor Van Ettlinger, of Wanna,
Austria, arrived in Johnson City Sat
urday afternoon and remained in town
until Monday evening. Mr.. Ettling-
or left Wanna last Novem Der on q
wager of $40, 900 that he could make
tour around the world in two years on
his bicycle without the use of money or
begging anything. The newspapers of
the country have paid his hotel bill
thus far. He is now ten days ahead of
time and expects to win the $40, 900
easily, but in the event he is not back
to Wanna within the two years the
money is forfeited, and he gives S., 600
besides. He uses English fairly well,
and gave very interesting description
of his trip thus far.
Mr. Ettlinger is a newspaper artist,
and is only % years of age. He has a
standing offer by one of the great
metropolitan papers of New York to ac-
cept a position in 1900, when his trip
around the world will have been ended
