Beautiful Location for surburbnn Resi-

deBces.
He who has never visited Prof Paynes addi-
ton to Knoxville, has deprived himself OF q
a pleasure easily attained and one that would De
enjoyed, especially il he were owner OF one oitne
lots contained therein. The plat contains ABOUT
forty acres and was purchased in March last by
Prof. John X. PAYNE, who, realizing the advan-
tape of the location, had it surveyed and a map
of the property drawn, divided into lots, vary
ing in size from two acres, the largest, to lots
ninety by two hundred feet, the smallest.
AT the highest point Circle of nearly four
acres has been laid out for park, which is now
partially graded and will be further improved
from time to time, by planting shade trees and
laying it off in walks. The lots surrounding. the
Circle radiate from its centre and are according
ly fan-shaped. They are the highest in price,
though so reasonable as to make it an object Tor
those wishing a pleasant home outside the city
limits, yet at the same time convenient to Dusl-
ness, to purchase. The approach from the pike
is by -----..-. 80
TEMPLE AVENUE,
Which is one hundred feet in width, and Cham
cellor Temple will set back his fence sufficient
distance to make the width uniform from the
pike to the Circle. The sidewalks will have
a row of shade trees on each sac
front of each lot, which will front ninety
feet on the avenue This will make four rows
Of trees in all, affording abundant shade. The
drive will be forty feet wide, and IS now beng
graded, and will be macadamized, quarry OF
Suitable stone being now worked on the place
| for that purpose.
OTHER STREETS.
Temple avenue runs entirely through, cross
ing Moffatt street, the northern boundary OF the
Addition, and intersecting Yale street, which
runs from the Sanborn line to Clifton avenue,
which separates the plat from the Coiiege
d. nd
Gle. decreasing in width to fifty feet, extending
the same width to Andrews street, which marks
| the southern boundary on the river side, ex-
tending from Clifton avenue through the San
| born property. :,
| Andrews Street can be extended through to
| Front street, which would require only slight
| change of grade at the railroad and could De
| done at comparatively small cost, and II re,
opened through to its original terminus, would
be the shortest route from there to the city This
will doubtless be done when the wants OF the
population require it.

Rule and Kicks.
IT Prof Payne selected the grounds with an
| eye to the most
.tft' t'4 BEAUTIFUL LOCATION
possible to be secured, he has certainly succeed
| ed, and when a cultivated taste is brought to
bear rs auxiliary to nature, in few years there
| will be seen q suburb combining all the advan-
| tages that could reasonably be desired.
| The view from the Circle is one that would
satisfy poets soul. On the north are seen the
| crumbling walls OF Fort Saunders, which, on
| that memorable November morn, rang with the
fierce roar of battle; and the growing villages OF
| Whites Addition and Mechanicsville, with
| their picturesque dwellings and well kept gar
| dens. On the east we behold a bird s-eye view
| of Knoxville, with its moving panorama .of
| busy life, while the smoke of its manufactures
| rises in dense volumes and s'vanishes into air.
and the hum of industry is borne on the breeze
to the ear of the beholder.
| Beyond and up the rolling Tennessee, soon to
be spanned by magnificent bridge as far as
the eye can reach, are seen tho smiling fields
along its banks while still further to the right
| a lofty hill, where Fort Dickinson once reared
its frowning battlements and from whose deep
embrasures protruded the grim muzzles oil
deadly cannon, now showing the marks of the
husbandman's pillow, while the rumble of the
iron horse is heard, bearing in his train the
fruits of commerce, where less than a decade
since was heard the clangor of hostile trum-
pets. MaT a.. ;,
On the west are the mansions of Chancellor
Temple and the Sanborn estate, while the spa
cious grounds of the former, clothed in verdure
and adorned with fairest flowers and fruits In
rich proftlsion, delight the eye
To show that these lots are among the
MOST DESIRABLE
