The Times thinks Governor Patter-
son ought to dish out something real
nice to Editor Cy Lyle of the Johnson
City Comet. Cy was an original Pat.
terson man and worked hard and long
for the success of his favorite. But
what makes matters worse the afore.
said editor was defeated recently fol
justice of the peace in his home town,
an Office he has been holding, and
with only his newspaper left for live
lihood we fear Mr.. Lyle will suffer.
Those who know say that Governor
Patterson may be relied upon to do the
handsome turn. --Rockwood Times.

SOUTH AND WESTERN OFFICES
viii Be Moved to Johnson City as Soon as
Buildings Are in Readiness.


The offices of the South and Western
railway and allied interests will be
moved from Bristol to johnson City
before Christmas, if the buildings thai
are to be used at Johnson City can be
prepared for occupancy by this time.
Otherwise, the moving will not occur
until about the first of the year.
The offices will be located in the Car
negie hotel building and the Wilder
block at Johnson City, and extensive
repairs on these buildings have been in
progress since the first announcement
of the decision of the officials of the
company to move the Offices from Bris-
toll.
1t is said that no further trouble is
being encountered by the employees OF
the company in securing homes at
johnson City, and they are finding de-
sirable houses at reasonable rates.
The moving of the many offices will
be a stupendous undertaking, and will
require several days time. Bristol

1t is still plain Lyle, editor Of the
bright Comet instead of Cy FL. Lyle,
justice of the peace, Johnson City,
Tennessee. The editor made the race
for magistrate OF his town recently but
was unsuccessful, which he pointedly
and philosophically explains in the fol-
lowing paragraph in his paper;
We are estopped from claiming that
we were defeated by the use of money
because many of the fellows leading
the opposition have not been able to
pay for The Comet within the last tif-

taking The Comet for fifteen years and
had never paid for it. Newport Times

Aim nigh.

No individual can afford to follow
any aim In his own work that does not
lead to q higher and better plane. The
great trouble with men is, that they
let tie sordid in their natures smother
the better sentiments and impulses,
and allow the material present to rule
their purposes and efforts. Instead Of
looking for higher standard Of duty
or integrity, they make merely
temporal advantage the ruling factor
Of their lives, and even the prospects Of
future prosperity gives way before
the greed for present gain. What will
. course of action bring now, either In
dollars or cents or In nutoriety? This,
too often, is the only question that
persons ask themselves, as they ex-
anime the possibilities that confront

bushels when the tubers are from small

methods Of cutting seed the best yields
aud greatest net profits were secured
from planting halved potatoes of such
