Johnson City surges with railroad interest and new construction as Three O's and other lines push westward. Local merchants report record business, rising real estate values, and many workers. Western Union telegraph service struggles to deliver amid heavy rail orders, prompting calls for an office. Governor commutes a murder sentence in Hancock county. A 255foot, three story warehouse rises on Main Street for G A Reeves, signaling further growth.
