THE MARKETH0USE

Now that the people of Johnson
City will have an opportunity to vote
on the building of a courthouse and
markethouse we should all get busy
and see that it is built. There should
be no factionalism played, but every
one should work in harmony for the
proposition, which is one that the city
is sorely in need of. A place where
the farmer can brng his produce to
and where the people especially the
housewife, can go and buy to adyant-
age, would be of profit to all, rlch
and poor alike.
we want and need a marketEouse,
If the city is eve, to have what II
needs we must get together and stay
together to get these things that we
ned most. and we need markethouse
of all things. We have one OF the
hest towns in the state and it is the
only one we know of the size OF john
son City that has not got a MARKET
house.
we need markethouse.
Let all the citizens of Johnson CITY
get together in a mass meeting at al
early date and discuss the merits ano
dement's of markethouse, so that the
people that do not know what the al
yantages are to be gained from one
may be well informed.
