there Saturday for the purpose of de-
Gliding upon the re-incorporation of the

|" Move On. Please ~

Now that the authorities have made
up their minds to abate the nuisance of
permitting cars to block the principal
street crossings for an indefinite and
unreasonable length Of time, we sug-
gest that the good work of reformation
be carried still further, and our police
men instructed to prevent crowds gath
ering at street corners or on the side
walks and thus obstruct them to ouch
an extent that not only ladies but men,
no matter how hurried they may be,
are either forced into the street or wait
until the crowds are ready for them to
pass. Sidewalks were made for pedes'
trians-not for groupes Of living stat
ues, who should Ego way back and sit

George Simerly and Widow Martha
Stevens, Of Happy Valley, came to
Johnson City last Monday and we're
married at the Recorders Office by
Judge Lyle. Both were passed sixty,
and having been married before should
have known better, but they paid their
last penny for the license and went in
debt for the ceremony. George is q
pensioner, and now that his disabili-
ties have increased he may make appli-
cation for an increase of pension. The
widow pledged herself to stick to him,
however, as long as the pension held
out. The honeymoon will be spent in
Happy Valley.

JUST BEFORE EASTER.
The Hart & Houston Store Crowded With
Lovers of the Beautiful.

Wednesday and Thursday of this
week had been set apart for the opening
days at the Hart & Houston store this
season. The weather man was ex.
tremely accommodating in the kind of
weather he sent for the occasion, and
the ladies Of this city and surrounding
country took advantage of his generos-
ity and turned out en- mAsse. From
nine o'clock in the morning until after
six in the evening, each day, the store
was crowded with the beauty and fash
ion of this section. And there was
plenty to see, and it was arranged in
such a delightful manner that it was q
pleasure to look through each of the
we'll filed departments, while string
band from Bristol furnished sweet mu-
sic, and doting husbands made their
purchases by note, as it were.
Every year this firm seems to have
done its best in the matter of display,
but each succeeding year eclipses the
past. When Mr.. Hart goes east to buy
for his store he seems to have a habit
Of getting the best there is. II the
eastern dealers don't want him to buy
the most stylish fabrics they must not
show them, There are plenty Of new
creations exhibited this season and the
reputation of the house is back of their
stylishnesS and quality. This should
satisfy the most exacting. In the mil
linery department there is plenty to
admire and to make a woman admira-
BILE. There has never been time in
the history Of this firm when it made
such a showing in this department as
now. Some of the picture hats are in
spirations, and it would do you good
to hear the ladies rave over them.
1t would be useless to attempt de-
scription of the new creations, staples
and novelties shown at this store; il
would require more space than we have
if we had the talent to do SO, and we
would rather undertake to write a ser.
mon ON the sorrows of Solomon, who
had 800 wives to buy hats and costumes
for, than to attempt such description.
If there are any modern Solomons, in
wisdom, they will not miss it by going
to this store for what they need in the
millinery line.
