benefit johnson City as good public
roads leading ont in every direction for
at least twelve or fifteen miles. The
road of first Importance would be from
here to Yorktown, Sullivan county,
about fourteen miles. Good macadam-
lied roads would be civilizers. People
could afford good vehicles, better teams
and would come to town oftener, and
would bring more of their farm products
Johnson City needs to establish
park, and from time to time improve it
until it is the most attractive place in
the city. There should be an attrac-
tive and pleasant place of resort for
both old and young of johnson City.
There should be immediate steps tax
en- by our town council to beautify our
public railroad square with beautiful
little park and fountain.
Johnson City has a fine large spring
dedicated to the public. 1t is burn
ing shame that the spring is neglected.
The walls are crumbling down and the
steps are rotten and almost gone. All
kinds of trash, papers, water mellon
rinds, &c, are thrown into it. Instead
of large, beautiful spring as it should
be, in the course of few months town
will own pond. Let our town board
do something for that spring. People
coming here from all sections of the
country go to that spring. Why not
clean up around the spring and let
them have an appetizing, refreshing
drink, so they will 60 away delighted
with our fine Tennessee water. The
wall around the spring ought to be re-
paired with a nice ornamented fence
with some substantial benches placed
about it so strangers and everybody
else might have refreshing draft be-
meath the overhanging branches OF the
stately oaks. HAWTHORNE.
