vile.
No one more than ourselves dssifes
he immediate, rapid and permanent
growth and prosperity OF this Guy.
Great in it's Iocs ton, surroundings and
it is merely matter OF time
when 1t will become one Of the most
cities in the country. Still,
We cannot approve the course pursued
by some of our con incorporates, circus
lating statements of present and pros
pec,ive activities in real estate and
building improvements, which are
without the shadow of foundation IN
fact. We fail to discover the advan-
tage of such erroneous statements, ana
agree with the business sentiment OF
Knoxville that prudent relation OF
facts better subserves public interests
This, however, may be stated as true
that a most pleasing and encouraging
sentiment pervades all classes, owners
of real estate, business men generally
dealers in building materials, archl-
tects, builders, and all parties interest
ed in building operations, and TINS
general feeling OF confidence presages
period of coming prosperity. In
order to get the facts in the case we
dropped in the Office Of Mr.. J. f.

portapt work he has on hands, as FOL
