Southern Condemnation Suits.

Sam s. kirkpatrick, attorney for the
Southern railway at this place, has fl
ed additional condemnation proceed
ings for the railway on its extension
from Embreeville to the lines between
the states of Tennessee and North Car
DINA. This seems to indicate that the
Southern is in dead earnest about build
ing this road, as within the past week
they have paid off claims for rights of
way to an amount exceeding 81, 900,
and are pushing large number of con-
demnation suits in this and Unicoi
counties. -Jonesboro Correspondent in

]. E. Parish Loses.

The long drawn out litigation between
j. E. Parish and the Soldiers Home
authorities over his failure to complete
his contract for the hospital group of
buildings at the Home has been ended.
Judge @. D. Clark handed down a de-
cision at Chattanooga this week against
the contentious of Mr.. Parish. The
suit involved about $65, 900 that Mr..
Parish claimed was due him. The cost
in the case is a small fortune, as an ar
my of witnesses were examined and the
record is the most voluminous ever cre-
ated in this county.

This charter has been received al

A Courier reporter saw some OF tn,

as to the significance of the charter
but they we're not in position at thi
time to give any further information

There was one impression amonI
| some of the business men yesterda
that the charter might mean the frs
step toward building q railway fror
Kingsport to Knoxville, as perhaps
branch of the South & Western railway
Others said that it was probably onl
section or branch of the South an
Western.

Associated AlEes-A Model Plant of Well

IN RESUMPTION.

In very concise manner have gen
eral facts been adduced relative to the
rise and rapid expansion of this notable
local industry. The remarkable sue
cess achieved has been due, in very
marked degree, to the indomitable en-
ergy and forceful, we'll directed efforts
of its management. The manager, Mr..
@. b. Allen, under whose superintend-
ence this enterprise has grown to such
satisfactory proportions, is a native of
the Empire State, and is of that quick,
r-seeing type of men, to whom the
methodical direction of large concerns
is but>a matter of fact. Moreover, he
displays commendable interest in all
movements tending to the advancement
and upbuIlding of this municipality,
and is ever eady to cooperate in all
prime affairs that betoken enlargement.
The STANDARD Oak Veneer Company
with its associate concern, the Allen
Panel Company, have in the past been
most important factors here, and with
this added associate, the Interior Hard.
wood Company, this trio of splendid
manufacturing enterprises has for the
future career of promise which can
hardly he forecasted. From the very
outset and throughout an unbroken pc
Rod of steady triumph, they have &C
quired the good will and popular regard
of all manner and classes of citizen!
here, whom are pleased to observe the
continued advancement and we'll de
served prosperity of this grand indus
| try.

INTERIOR HARDWOOD COMPANY,
a newly added industry, whose pro.
ductions will be the only ones made in
this city, and which, when shipped,
will distinctively advertise johnson
City as their special mart of manufac-
ture, and the Interior Hardwood Com.
pany as their maker. Unlike other
staple products and exports from here,
which go out as raw material to enter
into man ufactured products elsewhere
and thus lose their original identity,
these finished p. oductions will all bear
the imprint Of the Interior Hardwood
Company, Johnson City, Tenn, and
thus serve TO advertise alike the name,
fame and success of the city and the
manufacturer for productions of high
class worth.
An ample tract of some ten acres. to
the eastward of the two others men,
toned, has been purchased and appor-
toned for this enterprise. A series of
special buildings, dry-kilns, warehous-
es and yards will comprehend this new
plant, which will be model of its class
for the purposes designed. III the i'm
mense yards will be stored mammoth
stacks Of lumber for proper seasoning,
period of over one years time being
required for seasoning before being
used, thus safeguarding against all flu
ture atmospheric changes, a matter of
much concern that receives vigilant,
careful attention and which necessitates
having large surplus stock in season
ing. 1t should here be noted that,
through the presence of this great in
dustry, timber owners hereabouts are
paid much higher prices than otherwise
they would in the general market for
this class of timber, as this concern
pays a premium price in spot cash for
all choice offerings.
The special products of the Interior
Hardwood Company will be the very
finest varieties of quarlered white oak
materials, made up from product man.

Value Of Elephants.

An African elephant is Of value only
for its ivory, of which a full grown
animal yields from $3.50 to $500 worth.
On the other hand, working Indian
elephant can not be bought for less
than 32,500 to $4,000. This is because
OF the greater intelligence of the
Asiatic animal which makes him yalu-
able as a servant.

der, we must look to, and ask our
heavenly father to heal double sor-
SOW as he has always answered a
Ruth prayer.
Be it further resolved, that we ex.
tend our heartfelt sympathy to the
bereaved family, and especially her
niece, who so tenderly cared for her
during the long and weary months of
her illness which nothing but love
can give us the strength and pa fence
TO do for each other.
Dear Sister thou hast left us,
And thy loss We deeply feel;
But this God that has bereft US,
He can all our sorrow heal
