The Early Completion of the III icks'
Block.

This building, few months since DESC
lated by fire, is now in rapid course Of
rebuilding and completion, and will in a
very short time be ready for occupancy
The rapidity with which the buildiug lis
being replaced, is alike due to the COM
mendable enterprise of our fellow towns
man A II Hicks, Esq, and the indomi'
table energy, and industry of Mr.. Ed.
Lawrence, Carpenter, and Messrs. Champ.
ion & Taylo brick masons, both Of which
contractors have displayed unusual in
dustry, and are highly commended, by
parties interested. When completed, the
building will be decided ornament to the
Square, and 10 architectural completeness
of design, and workmanship, will not be
excelled by any in the city.
The former occupants will resume their
respective rooms, as formerly, and we
feel confidently assured that Messrs Fur
man & Co., will be replaced in the corner
building, with large, varied and attrac-
tive stock of new fall and winter dry goods,
by the lst of October, proximo.

Exhibition of traits, Flowers and
Vegetables.

The Masonic Temple, on the 9Th, 8.h
and oh of September will furnish re-
cherche entertainment for the beauty and
fashion of this city, as we'll as for visitors
from distance, whose taste for the choice
and useful products Of nature may prompt
them to attend and witness the gorgeous
display of the Tennessee horticultural
Society.
The excellent management of its enter
prising members will leave nothing IN
done to render it complete in every res
pect. OF this we are assured if the past
experience of this society can furnish any
criterion for the future. Indeed, we have
heard it said that no exhibition outside of
Philadelphia in point of taste in the ar
rangement of all the details, or of fine
fruits, flowers and vegetables, has excelled
the popular displays Of this useful institu-
ton. For a romantic evening promenade
along the aisles of this palace of beauty,
decorated on either side with choice exots
les from Flora's kingdom, or with other
articles of attraction, and enlivened by
the stirring strains of sweet music, the
gallant beaux of the city may whisper
soft words of love to the object of HE
hearts alteration. Indeed, the glances
from Cupid's piercing eyewere never more
expressive, nor the arrow from his culver
more certain of securing the prize than
when employed amid the delightful scenes
and perfume of Flora's hall Of enchant-
ment.
''Oh! WHAT tender thoughts beneath
Those silent flowers are lying,
| Hid within the mystic wreath
My love hath bless ed in 'eyeing."
The society anticipate larger reprea
sentation of fruit and vegetables than on
any previous occasion, and would call es-
pecial attention to the liberal premiums
offered. The FIRST premium for each being
fifty dollars.
Among the competitors it lie probable
that "DoWner" from Kentucky, will be on
hand with a large variety Of excellent
fruit, which display of itself would be
worth the price of admission.
We are requested to call the attention of
exhibitors to the rules and regulations as
laid down in the schedule of premiums,
and particularly that all articles for COM
petition will be handed in at the Hall, by
| II m, on Monday next.
