Some improvement Notes.

One of the most conspicuous and import
ant improvements now in progress about
our city is the extensive furniture manu-
factory being erected by Richards, Price &
Co, on AIcGhee street, at the junction of
second creek. The brick work of the,
building is9pretty well along. It will be
four stories high, including large and
commodious basement and fronts SO
feet on IcGhee street., running
back along the creek 100 feet Messrs.
Thomas and Abe Price and Mr.. Click, of
the firm, are:an giving their close personal
attention to the work, and will have it done
up in tirst-class order. They burned their
own brick, and are having them well laid.
They expect to have their engine and a por-
ton of the machinery up and in operation
in few days, and will do the carpenter
work themselves Herewith il.
The large four story addition to the Hat
tie House, owned by Mr.. F. McNulty, is
approaching completion as rapidly as prac-
ticable. The brick and most. of the wood
work is completed, and a large force Of
plastererS are now. engaged on the inside
work The spacious dining hall, which,
when completed, will be hard to eclipse, is
receiving the finishing touches. It is hoped
to have the new addition ready for occupan-
cy III about a month or five weeks from now
When it is completed aud put to use, with
all the modern and improved hotel furniture
and fixtures which viii be supplied by the
genial manager, Mr.. J. c. Flanders, the
Hattie House viii be an ornament and IAN
honor to Knoxville, and viii supply long
felt want in the way of uptown hotel ac-
commodationS.
Our worthy and enterprlslng fellow towns
man and restaurateur, Mr.. I'll. Schubert,
with an eye ever open to the
spirit of improvement and advancement
rife in our city, and realizing the wants of
the times, has in course of construction a
hotel, on the European plan. He has To-
/ Gated it on Cumberland street, opposite to
! the Lamar House-the site of his old res
! taurant. He took the top off the old build
ing, and has made al addition, which gives
a very neat and slightly three story brick
building, in which he will have
about twenty-five rooms fitted up
/ in neat and elegant style, which will be
! devoted to lodging room, and conducted as
hotel on the European plan, in connection
with his splendid restaurant, which. cannot
/ be excelled anywhere. This is a step in
the right direction, and we are sure Mr..
Schubert, will have liberal patronage for
his new place. .. 49,. g,.s
Messrs, Smith & Bondufant, the enter
prising poultry and egg merchanes, are
/ building an addition to their business house,
in the Branner Block, extending it back to
the alley. This they were forced to do tc
meet the demands of their steadily increas-
ing business. The addition will be used for
the storing and packing department, anG
will give them much more re6m.' They
/ have moved their elevator from the front to
the rear of the old building.

The New Comet.

A good deal is being said in the papers
about the first discoverer of the great comet.
The earliest time we have seen mentioned is
that of L. W. Thrickster of Meadville. Pa.
who claims to have seen it at 2 o'clock on
the morning of the 22d inst. We believe
that Mr.. John c. Lord, who has charge of
the city list of the DAILY CHRONICLE, is en-
titled to the honor, and consequently the
Warner prize of $500. He saw it first at
2.3O O'Clock on the morning of the 22d,
which. counting the difference IN time be-
tween Meadville and Knoxville, shows that
he discovered it quite as early as Mr..
ThrickSter He reported the fact to the
editor of the CHRONICLE, who had written a
paragraph about it before the press dis
patches announcing its appearance were re-
ceived.
