Description | The Johnson City Comet, launched in 1884 by Nathaniel C.T. Love, became a significant voice in Tennessee journalism. Under editors like Robert L. Taylor, it championed Democratic views while covering local affairs and railroad news. Taylor's political influence extended to the gubernatorial arena. After Burrow's retirement, Cy H. Lyle took over and experimented with a daily edition, though it eventually ceased due to financial challenges. The paper thrived with inventive subscriber promotions and an eight-page weekly format. Its circulation soared, reaching 1,000 subscribers by 1895. The Comet's legacy persisted until at least 1918, leaving an indelible mark on Johnson City's history.
