Tire Spirit of improvement al work.
We took a walk through the city Fri
day with view of ascertaining as near as
possible the number of new buildings now
i'm course of construction, aud were pleased
to find that the spirit of improvement is
at work, and quite number of new resi-
dences are being erected.
On Mabry street, just beyond the bridge,
at the corner of Mabry and Fouche streets,
Mr.. A. ]. Albers has commenced the cree
ton of residence, which is to be equal if
not superior to any on that street. We
noticed some beautiful marbleiZed mantle
pieces at Hoxsie and DePue's to be used in
this building.

In Fairview, on the Clinton pike, and
just outside of the corporation limits, sew
eral new buildings are now in course of

fact known. Altogether, taking eyery
thing into consideration, Knoxville is no
lying on her oars, but is steadily and surel
rising, and should money matters get
little easier large number ofbuildings vii
be added to Knoxville during the presen
year.
