HOG MARKET LORER
Dull Day and Only Wagon
Stuff Sold.
TOPS REST ON 1895
No Cattle Offered and No
Market

The hog market yesterday was quoted
as lower. There was a varying tone to
the several markets and steady to weak
on the close prevailed all over. The re-
ceipts were generally light at all the main
receiving points and there was a duh
and Hfeless trading, and prices barely
holding their own. This market had a
good supply Of wagon hogs and all Of
them were quickly sold, the Dold COM
pany taking the entire supply. One car
only was received, and ore car Of mixed
cattle. There was little doing on this
market and the business Jagged after the
wagon stuff was sold. The quality OF the
scattering local supply was generally
very fair and the run better. There was
practically no cattle market from want
of sales. All hogs offered were sold and
TO the best advantage of the sellers.

HART AND HOUSTON
A Nice Store.

The large advertisement of H. W.
Pardue has no doubt attracted your at
tention before you read this notice and
you will have noticed that it contains
new and red hot bargains. 1t will not
be out of place to state in this connec-
ton that Mr.. Pardue has recently en-
larged his stock until he now has one
of the largest and bestsppointed grocery
stores in East Tennessee. He carries
q complete stock and it has been select
ed with great care, and with q determi-
nation to supply the most exacting in
the grocery line. Mr.. Pardue is a
young man, but seems to combine all
the elements of success, and that he is
succeeding is apparent to the most
careless observer. He prides himself
upon courteous treatment to all custo-
mers and always strives to please. He
merits the success attained, and has
won many admirers by pluck and
perseverance.

time indefinitely. Rev. Ferguson,
pastor of the church, who is conduct
ing the meeting is demonstrating to the
community his great power in the pull
pit; in fact, all who have heard him
unite in saying that he has very few. If
any, superiors as e pulpit orator.

Free Public Library.
To the people Of Johnson CITY.

To the people Of Johnson City.
The last legislature authorized small
towns to organize Free Public Libra
ries. Heretofore this power has been
granted only to towns of 20, 900 inhabi-
tants. Now we can have by this act,
without the imposition of any addition
al tax and without the payment of any
library fee, Public Library if we wish
it. 1t is an act intended to be wholly
for the benefit of the people, but each
town is required at a public election to
vote for the establishment of Public
Library before the board of mayor and
aldermen can organize it.
1t is a matter of interest to every
man, woman and child in johnson
City. Where public libraries have been
organized, the invariable result has
been to intelligence, good man
ners and morality. To our own town
it will add all these and other advant-
ages; to particularize. To all public
and private schools it will prove the
addition ofanew teacher to every grade;
to old and young, outside of the schools
1t offers permanent source of informa-
tion and pleasure. It's establishment,
moreover, will advertise johnson CITY
as good place for good people to come
to and to settle. The act originated in
johnson City and we feel that it should
be entitled to the benefits of 80 import
ant step.
SO we appeal to every voter in the
town, and to every family in Johnson
City to urge its voter to cast a ballot on
the 22nd day of November for Public
Library. It is no scheme for personal
advantage, purely and simply public
improvement.
