THE CONCERT,
which was given in Tomlin's new Hall.
The large hall was crowded from pit to
gallery with the elite and beauty of Jack
son. Prof. John A. Metcalfe WELD I'd
the baton with his usual ability, and was
ably sustained by full corps of ladies
and gentlemen, comprising the best mu
steal talent of the city.
The opening piece was grand over
ture by the Silver Cornet Band. The boys
excelled all former efforts on this oeca-
sion, ard were greeted with hearty ap-
plsuse.
We wish we could notice the perform
ances in detail, but time and space forbid;
we can only mention several pieces that
were especially well rendered.
''GlOry be to God on High, from Mo-
zart's 18th Mass, and ''rAe Heavens are
telling" from Hsydn's Creation, were
given by the whole company, embracing
the cholrs of the First Methodist, PresbJte-
terrain, Baptist and Episcopal churches,
and IN such manner as would have de-
lighted the heart OF your Sunday school
man, could he have heard them.
The qugrtette, "Come IN the blush oil
the morning." was well rendered. by
Messrs Metcslfe and Miller, Mrs. B.etcalft
and Miss NJ A. Jones. AlsJ D piano
solo by Mrs. Mann, the rlos. accom-,
plished pianist in our city, deserves spe.
cial mention.
Little Miss Mollie Mcnamara sang in
her usual inimitable style the comic ballad
''OH, Amt HE SWEET On NE,
1 snd indeed, the fair little Vocslist locked
so charming, that it is no wonder The
1 young man was rather sweet on her.
Pruf. Gliller's vocal class of YOUNG
men fully demonstrated by their singin :
that their teacher had performed his
work faithfully. But the croWning piec,
OF the evening was the CaVatins from
Martha, 'sM appari Tut NOR, T" as sung
by Prof. Mellhsney. The Professor has
very tine voice, and sings IN true op-
cratic style. He was heartily encored.
On the whole, the concert was deci-
ded SUCCESS, and at the request or many

THE WEATHER AND DROPS.
We are having an abundance of rain
all over tne county, and there is some

The crops generally al over the county

and sill things else being favorable, there
will be more money in Madison county

KNOXVILLE -IMPROVEMEN
FUTURE PROSPECTS, ETC.


KNOXVILLE, Aug. IA, 1S71.-Knox-
vile is not the Knoxville of ten years ago,
Then it was slow, dull and plodding
place. But limited business was car
ried on. There was no stir in CONNER
cial circles. Its limits were restricted.
The feeling of expansion had not taken
hold of the public mind. Property was
''dead cheap" as the result now shows.
Real estate on Gay street and on Market
Square could have been purchased for
''mere song" Suburban property was
hardly good for the taxes, and owners
would gladly have parted with it at mere
nominal figures. Many of our best bust
ness men looked upon real estate In the
country far more valuable, and would
have exchanged their city property for
it. Such, briefly, was the condition of
things in the City of Knoxville ten years
ago. What
A CHANGE
Since then! Il is difficult for one to re-
aliza it. 1t is far from being a ''plod-
ding place" now. 1t is full of stirring ac-
tivity. A heavy business in all depart
ments of trade is being done. Our whole
sale and retail merchants are driving
brisk aud prosperous business. Nor is
there any thing fictitious in their opera
tions. They stand upon solid basis,
and are building up in the same way.
Caution is q peculiar and striking feature
of their dealings. Every step they take
is sure ore, ard hence it is that Knox
Vile is laying the groundwork of safe
ard reliable city, whose business men nlsy
be regarded with the highest confidence,
and whose financial condition may be COM
sidered as perfectly sound. No city in
the South, unless it be Atlanta, has taken
such bold strides in extending her borders
since the war. Not only is the ''buInt
district redeemed and vitalized, but the
vigorous spirit of Improvement has
dashed further on.
CARDINAL POINTS.
We now have our North Knoxville,
our East Knoxville and our West Knox
vile, and soon we will have fiourishing
village South of the river, as q magnif
cent bridge will span the Holston river in
twelve n 9nths. Our growth is not SPAS
modic, as any one must see who will look
at the character of the buildings which
have been built, and those now in process
of erection. There are business houses
on Gay sSe et which would be no discredit
to New York, and more of the same sort
are under way. The astonishing feature
of Knoxville is, the rapid -r-rT 81.
p ENHANCEMENT OF REAL ESTATE. 20
Every grade and description of proper
ty has gone up fully five hundred per
cent within the last ten years. Indeed, it
is fabulous TO think about. Twelve
months ago, many thought it would re-
cede-thst these high figures could not
be maintained, but, contrary to every .ex~
pectstion, aud in defiance of every calcu-
lstion, it continues to &c upward. The
fe7er is as strong Today as it ever was.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Democratic party was never more
puerile than now in its opposition to the
progress of the country. Its only stock in
trade is q defence of constitutional liberty,
from Radicalism. This high-sounding term.
as we understand, means the rights and
privileges of citizenship; but are these in
any danger? Was there ever time when
liberty of speech, of the press, or of the
individual, was so unrestricted (? There
are now no bondmcn anywhere, no fugitive
slave laws, and the only form Of apprehen-
sion or outrage upon freedom is perpctrated
at the South by an organization in active
sympathy with the Democratic party and
which has its full endorsement. The corn-
try was never more prosperous or the
people more happy. = {.
THE address of the Young Mems Demo-
cratic Club of Boston to the young De-
mocracy of the State is capital specimen
Of campaign eloquence. For first shot,
it was wonderfully effective, and if it is fol-
lowed up, will secure to the new organiza-
ton the control Of the convention at SPRING
field on the 18th of September. That con-
vention has to nominate not only State
officers, but four delegates-at-large to the
national Democratic convention next year.
The. interest is accordingly much greater
on that account, as well as on account of
the cloudy aspect of the Republican can
vass. The young Democracy are also wise
enough to join the extreme left Of the new
departure men, which will be Of service TO
them in Massachusetts. ~ e
