green grass of the spring, all things
seem to be awakening to new life.-
But while every one is cleaning up
houses and yards, what are the streets
doing? Cleanliness costs little, side
walks could be swept, and papers not
thrown over the town. Tin cans could
be stacked up and drawn away. The
many smells which try to kill the fra
GRANGE of the flowers might be dispens.

all to try to do our part to make our
town attractive. II we want good citi-
zens to come here, make it so pleasant,
that every one who comes will want to
stay, or come back again if obliged to
leave. Don't let the hoodlum elem ent
run the town. Clean up in more ways
than one. Increase the police, collect
and use the street tax. Give us clean
town, God did much for this town site,
giving it beauty, healthfulness, and all
natural advantages. Man has done
much but it is only beginning. We
need Park, an Opera House, better
schools and churches; and more things
than we can enumerate.
It is spring time for johnson City,

isnot the time for mistakes. Let every

that what is done now will reach into

Business In Promising Condition.


The. New York Times prints the state
ment that ten of the big railroad sys-
TENS of the country have provided
$110, 600, 900 and the other smaller ones
So, 900, 900 making $500, 900, 900 in all
to be expended for Improvements and
betterments during this year. The
fact is taken as proof of the safe and
sound business outlook, railroads more
than any other enterprises having al
way expert hands upon the business
and industrial pulse. According to the
Chattanooga Times, the Southern rail-
road will devote So, 900, 900 to improve
ments-mostly to the double tracking
and the purchase of new and needed
rolling stock. In addition to this
amount the Southern will expend, lother
lines operating in the south and south
west, will devote $55. 600, 900 to improv-
ment,s indicating in the most substan-
tial way the magnificent outlook in this
section during the coming year.
The same newspaper declares that
the railroads are feeling the same slim
illus that affected them two years ago
and that as result the makers of rail-
road supplies are being taxed to the
utmost to fill their orders. This view
of the situation seems to be justified by
the reports of activity in all lines
throughout the south, Iron is active
and manufacturing concerns Of all
kinds are kept busy to the utmost fill
ing orders. Prosperity therefore seems
to be assured for at least two years

Resolutions of Respect.

At meeting of Camp General John

Veterans, at johnson City, Tenn,
March 81, 1905, were passed the follow
ing resolutions of respect:
Whereas, it has pleased the "Great
Captain of the Host" to relieve our
brother and comrade, William B. Bate,
of his position of leadership on earth
and assign him to duty in the "Army
of the Skies, we bow in humble sub
mission to the order of our Supreme
Commander, and resolve:
/. That in the departure from earth
of our beloved and admired general,
William B. Bate, we have lost a broth
er and comrade, true and brave; our
country has lost patriot and states
man wise, energetic and incorruptible,
and his family has lost husband and
father, tender, kind and loving;
2 That we extend to his widow and
loved ones cur heartfelt sympathies in
their bereavement; but bid them cast
their spiritual eyes heavenward and be-
hold him as he rests with Johnston,
Jackson and Lee under the trees by
the river Of Bliss, and find consolation
for grief and healing for their wounds.
g. That these resolutions be spread
upon our minutes; that they be pub
lished in our county papers, and that
the Adjutant of our camp send copy
to the widow Of our departed comrade.
