IN The square Msssrs e. q, Akari \ Co..
have erected new one.slory frame build
Ing on the old Smith & Murphy corner In
which they commenced business the last
winter. The present building Is intended
10 give place 10 two story brick after q
season or Two, when II will 10 moved back
aud occupied Us u ware room, Next To this
corner is the new frame building Of Alessrs,
Bowen & Lacy, and then the old stOre.house
Zone story frnme,l Of Messrs, W. W, Peak
& Co., now occupied by Capt. J. Peak, as u
Dry Goods and general merchandise house,
aud also by the Post Office, Next to this,
coming north, are the three brick, two-sto'
ry houses, erected before the war, but
which have undergone considerable i'm.
proyement within the past few months,
the first occupied by Messrs, Reyes, Clarke
& Co., the second by DR., J. W, Haynes, and
the third by Messrs, W, II, Prather, n Co,
Then on the same block, Is the old one-sto'
ry frame, formerly occupied by DR.. d. D.,
Thomas, and now occupied by DR.. A. NJ,
Cochran & Bro, as Drug Store. The old
corner opposite the Crutchacld House,
where once stood large wo-story frame
the upper story Of which was our printing
office in times gone by, is still vacant. We
should be much pleased to see II occupied
by a stately building. The next in order,
on Main Street. and west of the old "Print-
ing Office corner" is the new frame store
room of Jno. Saunders & Co., hardware
merchants.
The "Crutchfeld IIou,e," so well md fa-
vorably known to the travelling public, has
within the past two years undergone large
improvements and additions, and is now
occupied by Mr.. Jno. A. SANFORD, former
ly Of Tyler. Going east, we next come to
the neat little frame store-house Of L. Yves
ter, which has been entirely rebuilt, romod-
eled and enlarged, and is one Of the most
snowy business houses in town.
The next building on the north side Of
the square, the Simon building, remains as
it did during the war, but we understand
is soon to be occupied by new firm from
Shreveport as Family Grocery.
Next is the two-story brick building of
Messrs. Field Bros, which has been reno
waited and vastly improved in appearance,
and is crammed full of goods. Next to this
stands the neat little concrete building of
NJ. Poidvante, and then the large two story
brick building of Mr.. Hirsh, occupied re-
spectively by J. P. Hill rs tin shop, and
by Messrs. Masten, Ross & Bro, dealers in
general mercha ndise, on the lower floor,
and the upper floor by various lawyers and
physicians.
The old Caruth corner stands as it did
during the war, unoccupied and unimprov-
ed. The lot next to it, however, is about
being improved by Capt. ]. Peak, who is
about fitting up store, to which he will
remove as soon as it is completed. The old
government shops on the same row, what
there are left of them, are occupied by the
saddlery shop of Mr.. Douglas, Mr.. Hawk
ms, boot and shoemaker, +. W. Hunt, Res
taurant, and 10. c. McConnelrs blacksmith
shop.
Opposite them are now being erected three
one-story brick buildings to be occupied
respectively, by Mr.. A. ]. Gouffe, as tailor
shop, Mr. Nausbaumer as a market house,
and by Mr.. Henry Bollas family grocery.
They will be finished in short time.
The old 'Railroad Corner" has been
turned round, and now fronts the square on
the east, and is occupied and owned by DR..
Jno. Saunders, who is now getting in his
Spring stock of goods. On the same side
of the square is the two-story brick Cald-
we'll building, occupied below by Jeffries 4
Co., and above by several lawyers. Next
to this comes the old "Billiard Saloon"
two-story frame building, recently reno
waited and improved, and now owned and
occupied by Messrs. Heating & Johnson, as
a Dry Goods House.
We next come 10 the "Dallas Hotel" on
the S. E. corner of the square, which has
recently been almost rebuilt and renovated
throughout and is now opened under the
proprietorship of our old and esteemed fel.
low citizen J. W. Smith. Next, on the
south side, is the two-story brick, occupied
by Mr.. YIN. Levy, as dry goods store.
These are about all the business houses
around the square. Among the private res
licences that are being erected, we may
enumerate the large two-story frame OF
Capt. J. II. Bryan, (Keyes, Clark & Co..
and the two-story frame Of Mr.. A. M.
Moore, in the northeast part Of town; the
new frame Of Mr.. John Saunders, on JEFF
ferson St., the handsome new concrete res
idence of Mr.. A. J. Goutfe, on Main street,
and various other smaller buildings which
we do not now remember.
Then we have the large church of the
Christians, and the still larger building
about being erected by the Cumberland
Among the more substantial improve
ments, is the large three-story brick steam
mill of DR.. Jas. E. Scott, in the eastern edge
of town. This building we have not seen,
but understand it is one of the best put up
buildings in this part of the State. The
building is nearly complete and is now re-
oeiving the machinery. The ultimate de-
sign of Or. s., is TO attach cotton and
wool factory TO this establishment the en-
CINE being Of sufficient power for this pur-
pose.
We have merely sketched down the i'm
provements that have been made and are
now in course of completion; we have said
nothing Of those in contemplation; nor have
we mentioned the repainting and improve
ments Of the various private residences and
other buildings-these add as much to the
