The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1903-12-17

For the convenience of the public
the committee has designated j, G.
Campbell as n solicitor at the postoilice
and S. A. Byrd at the Soldiers Home,
The idea of building a fountain on
the square is one that has been strong
ly endorsed for years but never has it
struck so popular a vein of sentiment
as when the question of erecting it in
honor of Congressman Brownlow was
mentioned. That it is an appropriate
token of the high esteem in which Col.
Brownlow is held by our people goes
without saying.
The people feel that they should do
something to show their appreciation
and gratitude for the many good things
which Col. Brownlow has done for this
Congressional district and chief among
which is having erected in this city the
National Home for disabled Volunteer
Soldiers.
Now that the people have an oppor'
tunity to show their gratefulness fol-
SO worthy congressman they can dc
80 in the matter of this popular sub
scription fund to build the BrownloW
fountain.
The maximum subscription from any
one individual is set at $40, so that any
amount up to $40 will be received
This plan is adopted to make thepub
scription popular and one that can b.
reached by any individual. All sub
scriptions will be duly acknowledged
through the public press.

The matter of feed is Of
tremendous Importance to the
farmer, Wrong feeding is
loss, Right feeding is profit,
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs, Science,
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemial
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children. -A.

FIRST STREET RESIDENTS WILL

Bathers at SaItair this summer viii
step from the platform into deep water.
The water question has been success
lully solved by q simple piece of engineer
ing. This morning a force of men VIII
begin the work OF extending the bathing
houses into deep water This Will be
done by taking the bathing cOmDart-
ments which stretch from the pavilion
TO the shore and swinging them around
on the opposite side of the pavilion so
that they viii reach out into the lake.
The bathing compartments will be cut
up into sections 100 feet long and xii
De Joined TO those on the north arm of
the pavilion. This work when finished
with extend the bathing houses ON the
north arm L200 feet farther into the
lake, where the water is plenty CeeD
enough The bathing houses to be moved
are Of no use where they are now as
they are high and dry out of the water.
I he pilings upon which they rest viii be
sawed off and fixed on rollers and with
the aid of teams and an engine. thCv
viii he swung around to the west side
Of the pavilion and then connected with
tho north arm.
About score of men will be employed
on the work, which viii require several
DAYS. when the work is finished the
bathing houses viii always extend To deep
water whether the lake rises or not. 1t
Is the most satisfactory solution Of the
problem that has been suggested and the
only wonder is that il has not been de-
cided on before.

schools as Dancing Halls.

The question whether the general
public has the right to use a school
house for a public dance hall is in
volved in a suit which has been sub
United TO the supreme court for deCi-
sion The decision of the lower court is
that school property is public property,
and that the general public has the
right TO use a school building for that
purpose. provided the festivities do not
interfere with the progress of the school
work. ON those grounds in the suit of
Lewis Lewis VS.. T. J. Bateman ct al,
the district judge refused TO issue an
injunction restraining the board of
trustees of the Alpine school from
letting the young people OF that district
use the school for dancing purposes.
