Nashville daily patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1855-1857, 1856-01-18

We made mention few days ago Of EVANS
& Co.'S pew store, which has just been com
pleted on the Square. 1t was our intention,
st the time, to recur to the subject of improve
ments in the "town we live in" and to con
Time the record. We Therefore resume the
thread of our discourse this morning. Having
passed over to the east side of the Square,
we observe that our liberal and enterpris-
ing mercantile friends, A. J. DUNCAN q Co.,
are making considerable improvements in the
interior arrangements of their house, under the
superintendent of G. B. VANNoY, architect.
These improvements are in a state of for
wardne>s which insures their completion pri
or to the opening of the Spring trade. They
are of a character that will give the store an
entirely new appearance, and make it one OF
the most roo'ny, and tastefully and elegantly
arranged to be found anywhere. 1t is the Pur-
pose of this firm to import for the Spring trade
a very large stock of goods, embracing every
thing that can find sale in this market, and the
improvements to their store will give them
greater advantages than they have heretofore
possessed, to exhibit their goods, and to supply
the demands of their customers with celebrity.
portion of their stock is already on its way
ere and in the interval between this and the
commencement of the spring sales, they are
ling the remnant of their winter stock at
extremely low prices. Amongst this stock are
heavy lot of blankets of the best kinds.
On Market Street, between Church and
iroad, we note the completion of the fine
lock of stores with which JOHN NJ. HILL, ESQ.,,
as replaced the inferior ones burnt some time
go. These stores are put up in most sub
.antial manner and are creditable specimens of
HAFFER's brick work. They are handsomely
rnamentec in front. One Of them is to be
coupled by STEWART & OWEN Timers, and the
ther two have been taken by Messrs LELL-
.Krr & EWING, Wholesale Grocers, whose in
ustry aud energy are extending their business
.pidly.
On Broad Street the house occupied by
Iessrs. MoCREA & TERRAss, Wholesale Gro
ers, has been greatly enlarged and improved;
nd it is now one of the most capacious in that
lid quarter of the city.
These, together with other improvements,
which we have no room to specify to-day, in
icate that there is no pause in the march for
ard of Nashville. Hers is no mushroom
rowth-it is slow, but steady aud substantial;
I'D it must continue so. Her business pros
ects were never more encouraging her hopes
{ future greatness, never based upon more
nduring foundation. More anon.
