TENNESSEE WILL KEEP HISTORIC
 HOUSE

Nashville. Tenn. March 25.-A de- aapidated little building at Greene vile in Eastern Tennessee, upon the front of which once hung the sign:
 Johnson, Tailor" and which was the place where Andrew Johnson, the man who succeeded Lincoln as President of the United States, began his business career, probably will be sought and preserved by the State of Tennessee.
 A bill now is pending in the Ten nessee Legislature providing for the
 purchase of the building and it's
 maintenance as a state relic. Its pie >ture has adorned Tennessee histories sfor years but the Commonwealth has hthe building.
 The little tailor shop stands at the fcorner of East Depot and College sstreets in the sleepy little town where Robinson, who was born in Raleigh, IN. C., emigrated at the age of IS. Having served his apprenticeship to "a tailor. Johnson opened his first sshop- in Greeneville:. After a year EardeH to whose lot it fell to teach ffser young husband to write and un- fdertake other educational prelimina- srtes as Johnson knew only his letters kWhen he became head of his own fhouse, having never attended school sa day in his life.
 Johnson's Political Career.
 JohnSon'S political career began as faIderman of Greeneville- He then fServed as mayor, was elected to the Bower house of the legislature, then sstate senator, afterwards to Congress became governor of Tennessee, Serv- dng two terms, United States senator, military governor of Tennessee, was felected vice president of the United Estates and became President upon ftIfe death of Lincoln. His final polit- sfcal office was that of United States fsenator from Tennessee.
 Johnson, while governor of Ten Enessee, once resumed his vocational yim plements- He had formed a, strong Friendship in the Tennessee 1egisla- strre for w. W. Pepper, of Spring Blacksmith. Despite their irreconci1- able political creeds the personal re- Nations of Johnson and Pepper were fextremely cordial. Pepper became judge of the seventh judicial district { 1n 1854 and after visit to Johnson, then governor, set about making a fpresent to his friend, fashioning a shovel which he sent with a note eX- blaming it was intended as a me mento that was proof against all po- 6tical differences.
 ! Johnson, to show his appreciation of the token, took up his scissors and needle and made a handsome beaver cloth coat which he pressed and sent to Pepper. It was splendid piece of workmanship, probably the last of that kind of work Johnson ever did, and exists to this day, the property of w. w. Pepper of Springfield, Judge Peppers only surviving son. The coat was made about Il years House and the movement to preserve h1s old tailor shop in Greeneville by Legislative enactment has revived that story of the tailor president.
