ARTIFICIAL WATERS AS FACTORS
OF DISEASE.

At the instance of the Lucknow
Cantonment medical authorities, two
aerated water factories have been
closed, the water having been pro-
nounced unfit for use. 1t is to be
hoped that the decision will induce
the medical authorities in India to
overhaul the aerated water factories
under their jurisdiction at other sta
tions, particularly where enteric
fever is prevalent. The popularity of
Apollinaris Natural Mineral Water
seems to have no limits. 1t is obtain

Mr.. VIM, WalbrAttch, of Middlesboro
Ky, was in the city last week. Mr..
Walbrattch is the president of the New
South Brewing and Ice Co. that has a
branch here under the management of
M. r. Miller. He was here to look af-
ter his interests and incidentally to in
crease his already lucrative business in
this section. This company manufac-
lures the celebrated Crystal Pale and
Pinnacle beers and no purer or better
article of the kind is upon the market.
He is a pleasant gentleman and made
many friends in a business and social
way while in the city. He told THE
COMET he was anxious to reach home
Monday to hear sour Bob" lecture
Monday night. We inferred from
what he said that if there was anything
wrong with the Governors flow of Ian
guage the New South Brewery was al
his command.

cast and beloved to contain blue stone.
After the last supposed poisoning took
place the deceased failed in strength
very rapidly and died about $3.50 o'clock
on Friday, January 23d.
1t seemed that Eva Wilson had been
suspected of being guilty of the poi
soning and was by Mr.. Bowers dis
charged from his service some ten days
before the death of deceased, and had
secured employment with Mr.. George
Brown in his restaurant in this CITY.
where she worked until notified by
parties at Elk Park, that she was sus-
pected of the poisoning Of deceased,
and had better return there and excul-
pate herself. She at once took the
train and went to Elk Park, and was ar
rested. There seems to be many crimi-
mating circumstances pointing to the
guilt of Eva Wilson, but many people
in Elk Park and other places where she
is known believe her incapable of com
hitting such q dastardly act.

but in this case it is only bali true.
Partners may come and partners may
go but e. II. Hart goes on forever. Be-
ginning Feb. LIST, yesterday, the firm
of Hart & Smith passed into history
and Hart & Houston are now doing
business at the old stand, just as if
nothing had happened. Mr.. Smith re-
tires to look after his outside interests.
The new member of the new firm is
ED" Houston, who for six years has
been with Hart & Smith as chief sales
man. He is a young man full OF the
stuff, sometimes called sterling quail
ties, that brings success. He has
learned we'll his lesson during his stay
with one of the best merchants the
town has even known, and he enters
the partnership thoroughly conversant
with every detail of the business. AS
salesman he has made many friends OF
the buying public by his polite, cour-
teous and fair treatment and as these
are natural qualifications there is every
treason to believe he will succeed in his
business venture, if connecting himselt
with such a stalwart as L. H. Hart car
be called such. OF Mr.. Hart there il
nothing new to say. He's one of th'
oldest merchants in the city and has
reputation for fair dealing to be cher
ished by anyone in the business. He
a fixture here-come to stay long ago
and johnson City is proud to claim hin
as a citizen and as a merchant. Til
new firm starts out under most favor
able circumstances. They will adyer
tise regularly in The CoMET-and al
bound to succeed.

Prospecting.

Mr.. s.. Van Auken, Of Oswego, N.
Y, was in the city this week looking
up a location for a large woodworking
plant, He proposes to move an estab-
lished plant from its present location in
Oswego to some point in the timber
section of the South. The plant will
give employment to about 100 hands
and a great many experienced en-
ployees will be brought with the ma
chinery. The idea is to manufacture
sash, doors and blinds for wholesale
trade and cut dimension stock. Mr..
Van Auken was particularly well
pleased with Johnson City andsthe ad-
vantages offered and went from here to
Washington to~oonsult the Southern
railway freight department relative to
rates. If his views are met, it is more
than likely that johnson City will get
the plant and it means business right
now, as he intends to have the concern
in operation by May list, list, 1899. He
carries with him drawings of the build
ings he will erect.
