Electric Park Theatre Open.

Johnson City can now boast of a real,
genuine city attraction in the Electric
Park Theatre just opened on the corner
of North Main street and Fourth av-
enue in Carnegie. Everything is neat
and elean and hundreds of electric
lights turn night into day. A large
tent has been erected and is comforta-
bly seated and the best order is main
tanned at all times. The afternoon per
formances begin at 2 30 and in the ev-
ening at 100 and continue until 1890
Cars run every fifteen minutes from
the Soldiers Home to the Park until
the last performance is over. The the
tire opened Monday and in spite of the
iuclement weather large crowds have
been in attendance and that clean,
clever show has been given is the YER
dict of all 1t is primarily intended by
the management to make this place
~ amusement where the mothers and
children can go at any time for an
bour's recreation. There is never any
thing to offend anyone

James G. Sterchi Here.

James G. Sterchi arrived in the city
this morning and Immediately went to
his place of business (the Tennessee
Furniture Store), where he was in con-
sultation with the manager and assist
ants IN charge of each department. OF
his several branch stores Mr.. Sterchi
says this is his pride. Frank Hender-
son went with Mr.. Sterchi through the
various buildings and it was decided to
take from some of the warehouses to
the display store housefurnishings not
heretofore shown the public and put
these goods which include beautiful
line of druggets, mating rugs, jute
and other rugs, alarm clocks, dining
room tables, centre tables, bed room
suits, rockers, genuine leather couches,
window shades, carpets, pillows, etc,
on sale below manufacturers cost, less
the freight. The prices put on these
goods will astonish housekeepers; and,
in these aud other articles on display
there are bargains greater than ever
before shown in Johnson City. The
prices, however, all along have been
low. For instance, mating that cost
"a cents per yard was for sale in the
windows Wednesday for IA cents. Blan-
kets which cost so cents per pair were
sold for 80 cents. One dollar tables for
4S cents. One dollar and fifty cent rugs
for 80 cents. A $3.50 piano sold for
1875. Another piano worth $3.50 sold
for 1925. A third piano worth $3.50 sold
for 1925. And still another piano worth
$3.50 sold for $175. A number Of $65
sewing machines we're also sold at sac
rifces. The sewing machines and fur
niture now to be displayed for short
time will be sold in the same manner
and some of them lower than ever. The
furniture is being sold for cash and the
sewing machines will be sold on time.
This sale will continue until every dol
lars " orth of goods is sold, and in the
meantime whilst the bankrupt sale lasts
new goods will be ordered for patrons
of the Sterchi store at wholesale cost
should it happen that there is not now
in stock any article which the most fas
tidious might desire. 1t takes but 4S
hours to get the goods from Knoxville,
and the only charge above wholesale
cost to the consumer will be the freight
which is a mere bagatele.
W. G. Smith, the sewing machine
man, is now with Mr.. Sterchi's store
here, and since the sale has started laa
sold large quantities OF the lannon's
White sewing machines, $4,000 worth

Outlook is Favorable.

There has been distinct note OF op'
timism in local business circles IN the
past week. Besides the encouraging
signs of Improvement evident through
out the whole country, the measured
activity of the c., @. & o. in pushing
its work is promotive of much satistac-
ton. The work of that railroad both
in the city and along the line is being
pushed. Rush work is in progress on
the temporary shops at Carnegie, work

additional work trains have been set
voiug. Taken altogether the outlook
= favorable, and it would seem that
