VOLCANO.
Tho Volcano and Suttsr Creek Ball
Clubs Have q Close Game.

N0S<AA'Si y 3'Sj - AVSS'
The baseball season opened here last
week with game between the home
club and the Sutter team. The VOL
cano club had the best of the game
until in the seventh inning the pitcher
sprained his arm. A new pitcher had
to take his place. The Suffers were
then able to do some batting and with
six runs in the eighth inning, I'll up the
gap between their score and the home
team. At the beginning of the ninth,
the score stood IA to IA. The home
team scored once more and the Sut-
ter's took the lead ending the game
with a score of 16 to Is. The game
was devoid of any sensational features.
Mr.. Hyner, superintendent Of the
Mitchell mine, umpired the game and
gave entire satisfaction to both sides.
AS result of the game our pitcher
goes around with a very sore arm, an
other player nurses a swollen wrist,
he was hit with ball, the catcher had
his hand stepped on while running
bases and has several fingers swollen to
double their size, so it is not altogether
a wonder that our team was not able to
do better work in the last part of the
game. Following is the score by
inninCS.

Disastrous Fire,

Last Monday morning fire started
from the coke ovens of the Virginia
Iron, Coal and Coke Company at En-
breyille and destroyed the foundry,
machine, carpenter and blacksmith
shops. The loss is estimated at $50, 600
30 $40, 900 with about S35, 600 insurance.
1t is not known whether the company
will rebuild at Embreville or move the
plant to Johnson City. 1t would seem
to casual observer that this plant
should be located here and a strong eff
fort will be made on the part of our
citizens to have the company select this
city for its establishment.

SIXTEEN YEARS OLD.

The COMET is sixteen years cid to-
day and is enjoying pretty good health, (
thank you. On the 18th day of March,
1884, the first issue was printed, and it
has been visiting many Of you regular
ly eyer since-and this reminds us that
it is about time for those who have
never paid cent to do so and we
hope will continue to do so for many
years to come, and under the present
administration. 1t is not the purpose
Of this article to give resume of The
COMETS eventful history, nor what it
has seen in passing, because our space
this week, thanks to our enterprising
merchants, will not allow it. During
its life Johnson City has grown from
wayside village with 4S6 to COM
mercial center with 5000 inhabitants,
and as enterprising lot as ever were
gathered together within the corporate
limits of any town on earth. THE COMET
is too modest to claim that it made
Johnson City, but we carried the ma
terial to the men who did, and We are
going to continue in that capacity rs
long as we can collect enough on sub
scription to pay for white paper, Dur
ing the period of prosperity we have
seen men made and unmade financially,
and perhaps have been the innocent
cause of some fortunes being made and
lost for all of which we will atone
when our delinquent list is paid in full.
Modest as we are, we are frank enough
to admit that THE COMET is the best
advertising medium in East Tennessee,
and we are not to blame if our merch-
ants demand all our available space,
and even more. THE COMET, however,
has always been equal to the emergen.
cy, and we are not going to allow the
space set apart for reading matter to be
cut short by advertisers, and are now
perfecting arrangements to enlarge t.
an eight column folio. The change
will be made in few weeks to accom-
modate our present advertisers anC
those who have contracted for space.
Thanking you all for past patronage
and promising you better paper ant
advertising medium in the future, w
enter our 18th year as happy as "swee
sixteen" who had just listened to he
first love story.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1900-03-15

We are little proud of THE COMETS
advertising patronage this week, and
have been compelled to greatly reduce
the reading matter in order to accom-
modate the demand for space from
shrewd advertisers who recognize the
value of THE COMET as a medium.
With all our crowding, however, we
were still unable to accommodate all
our advertisers with space, and several
ads have been crowded out.

The result in the first congressional
district is about what was generally ex-
pected. The majority given Mr.. Brown
low is probably larger than was expect
ed by some, but majority was looked
for. There are few ADLER, truer or bet
ter republicans in the state than Judge
H. 7. Campbell, and the result is not
in the nature of condemnation of him.
But majority of the republicans of
the district are satisfied with the serv-
ices of Mr.. Brownlow as their repre-
sentative in congress and have there
fore nominated him for reelection.
That he will be reelected goes without
saying. Knoxville Journal and Trib-
