Smallpox in the CITY.

Smallpox in a mild form has been
discovered in the "Red Row" at the
furnace in Carnegie. There are only
four cases and all are in one house.
DR.. j. H. Preas, the furnace physician,
called in County Physician Stuart last
Wednesday and the disease was pro-
nounced smallpox. The house was i'm
mediately placed under quarantine re-
strictions and DIR. Preas was employed
to look after the afflicted. All furnace
employees have been vaccinated and
every precaution taken to prevent the
disease spreading. No other cases are
looked for.

Smallpox Situation.

Chas. s. Mason, s. s. Kirkpatrick,
County Physician DR.. J. s. Stuart,
and DIR. Underwood, county ply stefan
of Greene county, were at Limestone
Saturday, where they met DIR. J. A.
Albright, of Nashville, who is the Sec
rotary of the State Board of Health.
DIR. Albright had been summoned to
Limestone to give his opinion as to the
disease, which is raging at Limestone
and other places on the south side of
the county, and which had been pro-
nouLced by DIR. Stuart to be smallpox
in mild form. DR.. Albright, after a
thorough investigation of several of the
patients, pronounced the disease to be
that of smallpox, as had DIR. Stuart.
There are now some thirty cases in
different parts of the county. Every
precaution possible is being taken to
prevent further spread of the disease.
The primary department of Washing
ton College was ordered closed. Her

The receipts from the canteen, store
and hotel at the national homes go into
the post fund, and employees under
that fund are paid out of it. That fund
pays for band, theatrical companies,
extra dinners tsuch as Fourth of July,
Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc., and
newspapers and books for the library
though a great many newspapers are
donated to the reading-room. At some
of the homes the members are kept in
five or six days after pensions are paid,
for the reason that great many Of
them never had so much money before,
and if they got out after their pensions
were paid they would get drunk and
be robbed-that is, large majority OF
them would. Sometimes quite num-
Der will take furlough or a nine-day
pass. Some will stay out only two or
three days, come back without cent,
and if they can't beg or borrow they
will do without money till next pay
day.

JOHNSON CITY DRY.
The Localized Saloon Must Go Hence
From Johnson City.

Down with the toddy,
Up with a ham,
Shoes for the baby,
A dress for nam.
Dryden.
The expected has taken place and on
schedule time. The temperance bacilli
has been at work in johnson City for
years and when the opportunity pre-
scented itself those inoculated swept
everything before them. We have fire.
quently said that Johnson City had
fewer drinking men than any town in
the state, must confess that we thought
there were more than eleven. Those
eleven fellows sustained seven saloons
with what little assistance they got
from neighboring towns and sustained
them we'll.
Friday was the day set apart to pro-
nounce sentence upon the saloons in
the city and the jury did it to the
Queens taste. The election was held
III the opera house and each voter was
requested to give his name and an
nounce with clear conscience his pre-
ference for saloons" or "no saloons. 5"
The polls opened at 0 o'clock and clos
ed at 4, and during the day it rained
almost necessarily, loved ones in heav-
en- seemed to be weeping for real Joy.
In spite of the weather G72 voters found
their way to the polls and only eleven
voted in favor of saloons. When the
result was announced the crowd pres
ent sang "Praise God from whom all
blessings flow, and the crowd was dis
missed with prayer. The church bells
pealed forth the glad tidings and sew
eral factory whistles joined in the pan
demonium. 1t reminded old residents
Of the time the Three C's bonds were
voted but we trust this will not prove
as foolish venture.
One of the prettiest sights OF the day
was the grand army of school children
that marched through the streets to the
opening of the polls. There was a
band of youngsters 900 strong and each
carried flag or an appropriately word
ed banner. There was water falling on
top of them and water on the right and
left of them and right into wet eyes
marched this 600. These little people
thought they came to town to remove
the saloons and many of them we're
surprised that they did not leave on
the evening train. They did their
duty and did it most effectively.
Now that the election is over it will
be necessary to have a special act pass
ed prohibiting the sale of liquors within
four miles of the Soldiers Home before
the saloons will have to go out. If for
any reason this bill fails of passage the
charter of the city will be abolished
and a new charter granted. This lat
ter mode is Objectionable to some OF
our citizens for legal reasons. In any
event it will only be few months until
Johnson City will be dry and suffering
all the evils such towns are heir to as
we'll as enjoying all the blessings that
follow in dry path.

Popular Young Lady.

Miss Emma Turner, who has been
conducting a kindergarten here, left
Monday night for johnson City, where
she expects to engage in the same work.
Miss Turner's sweet and amiable dis
position has given her an enviable po-
sition in society here and she leaves
behind her host of admiring friends.
No young lady ever visited Norton who
was more popular and who won a high
er place in the esteem of her friends.

In Darkness.

Beginning March LIST johnson City
will be in total darkness. On January
1st the contract with the electric light
company for street lights expired and
since then a new contract has been
pending. In the meantime the lights
have been burning with the under
standing that the new contract was TO
control the price. At a meeting of the
board Wednesday night an effort was
made to make an agreement on new
contract with Mr.. Stratton for the COM
company. Mr.. Stratton wanted con-
tiact for five years at $50 lamp per
year, and if the city would take seven
additional lamps agreed to cut the
price to $50. The city wanted to pay
$75 for the present number of lamps
and when seven more were added to
pay $72. The light committee made
two reports, the majority favoring Mr..
STATIONS contention, but the minority
report made by Alderman Mathes car
ried. This report was based on that
clause of the original franchise contract
that specifies that the price charged
shall not exceed the price paid in Knox
vile, Chattanooga and Bristol. The
average, Mr.. Mathes figures, would be
1874 for 5000 candle power lights ON an
all-night schedule. Conceding that
200 lights or more can be furnished
more cheaply per light than 40 it was
agreed that johnson City would accept
1900 candle power lamps instead Of 1000.
To further cheaper the lights the
moonlight schedule was accepted and
thus save 40 per cent Of the price, but
Mr.. Mathes says he agreed to deduct
only 90 per cent, and this would make
the average price $3.50. In order to ge'
together if possible he kept going VI
until he reached $72 and $75. Here
he stopped and this is the rock that oil
split upon. Mr.. Stratton said his com
pany could not furnish the lights a
that price and the board adjourned Il
meet Thursday evening. The matte
was again brought up and finally dis
posed of by tabling the committee
report and notifying Mr.. Stratton tina
the street lights would be paid for eacl
month on the old rate of $85 until tn
matter was otherwise disposed of. Thi
seems not to have been satisfactory an,
