The Knoxville Sentinel of recent
date says: Judge John X. Shields,
member of the state supreme court from
East Tennessee, is in the city, and an
nounces the appointment by the court
of the new commission known as "a
state board of law examiners, to regu-
late the admission of persons to prac-
tice law. The members named by the

Nashville, 3-year term Hon. Robert

Reservoir Site Purchased.

The Board of Managers of the Sol
diers' Home has purchased from John
P. Smith his large spring and the
round knob east of the city, known as
'Jenny's" hill, paying therefor $3, 900.
This purchase was made necessary upon
the part of the Home on account of the
litigation between the johnson City
Water Co. aud the Watauga Water Co.
The former company has a contract to
supply the Home with water, but has
developed more lawsuits than water,
and the Board Of Managers thought it
advisable to prepare for drouth when
water was plentiful, and il the home
should have to put in it's own system of
waterworks it would have the water to
start with, and stand pipe on "Jen-
ny's" hill would easily force water to
the highest point on the reservation.
When the site was being selected for
the Soldiers Home, the Board of Man
ayers saw Judge Smiths spring, and
several of them thought at that time
that the water supply should be taken
from there. 1t is very large spring
of pure free stone water, and never
gets muddy from rains. The contract
with J. B. Cox, however, eliminated
this spring for the time being, but il
looks now as if the board was return
ing to its old lover.

Embreeville Furnace Sold.

1t has been announced from Jones'
boro that the Embreeville furnace has
been sold to New York capitalists rep
resented by Messrs. Perrin and Echols.
The furnace was the property of the
Va. l. G. and G. Co. but has not been
in blast for several months. The new
owners were compelled to enter into
a contract to operate the plant before
the Southern would agree to rebuild
the bridge over the Nolachucky that
was washed away two years ago. This
furnace was built several years ago by
English capitalists and no expense was
spared to make it first class in every
particular. 1t is q valuable plant and
the new owners should be able to make
it remunerative.

Elk's Minstrels.

The minstrel performance given
Monday and Tuesday evenings Of this

great hit. The opera house was filled
both evenings with a representative
audience and a handsome sum was
realized. 1t was one of the most cred
liable performances ever given by To-

showed that the large and intelligent
audience appreciated the work done by
the various and clever artists. To par

Road Machinery Here

Some weeks ago the government
proposed to furnish the machinery and
road expert to build a sample mile of

city would pay the cost of construction.
The city council accepted the offer and
several car loads of the machinery has
arrived and more will follow. The
board selected Walnut street to work
on, but it is understood that before
work can commence bond issue of
SO, 900 must be voted.

LOCAL MARKETS.

There was nothing doing in the local cotton market yesterday. At the close of business the high prices prevailing this week were unchanged.
 There were no developments in the local securities and all quotations remain steady The market is very quiet and is without feature.
 Staple groceries followed everything else yesterday In the matter of prices There were no changes. Trading contin- ues brisk, but all prices are firm.
 Watermelons are beginning to appear along Morris avenue, but the shipments come chiefly by express, and consequent ly the supply Is rather limited. The av- craze price is 40 cents, so the darkey is not investing very heavily at present, but Is waiting until the heavy shipments begin to come in. Watermelons will then drop way down. a
 The situation In the fruit market is about the same. A carload of apples from Missouri Is expected today, and the fruit will prove quite a rarity at this season. No doubt the sales will be rapid and deal CTS will have no difficulty in disposing of the supply that comes in. Fancy prices will prevail. Those buying will have to pay $5.50 per barrel.
 Snap beans took a slump yesterday and are now quoted at 20 cents to 10 cents off Other lines of truck are steady with a brisk demand.
 Eggs continue to go down. They fell off 11hc yesterday. The price is now $l219c per dozen.
 Hides and wool are at a complete standstill.
