After a New Industry.

Johnson City is hot after a new in
dustry and unless all signs fail viii

but recently of Tihlu, Ohio, and G. V,
Burnett, of Ann Arbor, Mich, have re,

Der lands in North Carolina ON the O.
Il. Il G. extension, and will put in saw
mills there to cut it up. 1t is their in
tention to manufacture dimension stock
and will utilize all grades of their tim
Der, cutting the better grades into chair
and furniture stock aud working the
culls into box shocks. 1t has been
their intention to put this shook fac
tory near their large mills on their land
in North Carolina, but this is what
johnson City does not want and
we are trying to induce them to
locate this department in this city.
To do this the citizens have expressed
a Willingness that is characteristic of
them to pay handsome bonus towards
purchasing the necessary land, The
site selected is just below the City
Mills and is accessible to both railroads.
1t only required a few hours Thursday
morning for W. G.. Mathes to get the
necessary amount subscribed. The
factory will give employment to from
80 to so men and boys and the weekly
pay roll will be quite an item. John
son City is going after this industry in
the right way and when it makes ev-
cry thing equal is pretty certain to get
it.

In recent interview in regard to the
political situation in East Tennessee,
Hon. E. Z. Eslick had the following to
say:
"It is almost certain chat the repub-
licans will get two congressman in. East
TENNESSEE" suggested the reporter.
"No, it is not, replied the elector,
"There is strong and active opposi-
ton to Brownlow in the First district.
1t is reflection of the old Evans
Brownlow faction. If the republicans
who scratch Brownlow vote for Col.
Reeves, his democratic opponent, il
will give the democrats good chance
to carry the district, but itsis hardly
expected that they will. Some OF
Brownlow's most bitter enemies viii
content themselves by scratching hin
and not voting for any congressman a
all, in any event he will be elected b.
a great y le luced majority"
