fled in court here by r. W. and W, B.
Jackson against j. Walter Wright and
w. G. Mccain. The dispositions were
taken Tuesday in Bristol. This suit is

interfering with the business of that
company. The Jacksons contend that

Mccain in the Shoun Grocery Co., and
allege that they have been damaged to
the extent of 1895, 900 on account of the
injunction restraining their connection
with the Shoun Grocery Go.

Good Roads Committee.

1t is the intention of the Good Roads
committee of the Commercial Club, to
go before the board of county commits
sioners at their next meeting, some
time in April, and urge the reconsid-
Grafton of the issuance of bonds, which
was turned down at the last meeting
from the fact of the commissioners
thinking that the county would have
all Of the expense to bear without
Johnson City and Jonesboro's help.
This was a misunderstanding. But
the loss TO the farmers, occasioned by
bad roads, in hauling their produce to
this and the Jonesboro market, would
amount to more than the interest on
the bonds, besides, road betterment
would help to increase the value OF
their farms.

ed to be present, but DIR. Fischer was
unable to reach the city until Tuesday

ready to go before Special Examiners
Lamb and Drayton, of the Interstate
Railroad Commission, who will be

pointed, looking to the cooperation Of
the farmers of this section in producing
potatoes, cabbage, onions, beans, etc. -,

able to satisfy the home demand, but
to meet that of the Soldiers Home as
we'll, which is contracted for and sup
piled by parties outside of the johnson

tiles and also that the products were Of
as good quality as those grown any
where.

Southern Train DeralIed.

Last Saturday morning at Chase's
crossing, one mile west of Jonesboro,
the Southern's passenger train, No. 4,
due here at a, M, jumped the track
while running between % and 80 miles
an hour. Engineer Charles Boyd re-
versed the engine when he saw that the
tender was of, but did not do so quick
enough to prevent the derailing of the
rest Of the train. The track was torn
up badly for some distance, and it is
thought that the spreading OF the rails
caused the accident. None of the
trains crew nor passengers were injur-
ed. The engine, mail, baggage and
passenger cars arrived here about 10
o'clock. The other cars were put back
on later in the day.
