Man Mistakenly Believes He Is In Johnson City
An astonished visitor at the Star hotel this morning claimed he had not been drunk last night and insisted Johnson City is his home. He said the conductor should have left him at Johnson City, though the speaker learned this is the Tennessee city, home of factories and grand mercantile establishments. The man, Jim Jones, had been away fifteen years and was surprised by the local landscape, recalling scripture about removing neighbors' landmarks.

Blountville Circuit Court Adjourns After Lacking Trials
The Blountville circuit court adjourned after a light docket with no felony trials. The State v Morrell et al. indictment was quashed and defendants discharged. R M Cox case postponed due to State not ready. Three Union youths charged with rail coal theft were discharged after the grand jury returned not a true bill. Judge Hacker rebuked the grand jury for rejecting indictments despite proof. Public sentiment backed the court. Masengill v E T Va & Ga Ry resulted in a seven thousand dollar verdict for the plaintiff. Science Hill could be improved with funding and work, finishing the building and fencing the grounds. What say you gentlemen.
