THE PEAL ESTATE MARKET.
Heavy Sale OF Lots in McAnaiIy's Addi-
ton.


For several days past great deal Of interest
has been manifested in regard to the announce
ments of lots in McAnaly's Addition, and yes
terday afternoon as the hour drew nigh the ex-
element increased, which was augmented by
McCallum & Co, the auctioneers, sending out n
corps of small boys with flags and bells in such
numbers that II stranger would have thought
the Swiss Bell Ringers had broken loose or Il
division of reginental markers" had stormed
the place.
The people proceeded TO the ground in omni-
buses and whatever conveyance they could pro-
cure, while large numbers went on foot and at
the commencement of the sale there were be-
tween four and five hundred persons present
The sun was very hot, but by the aid of umbrel-
lars and ice water furnished ad HbitHDi, the
crowd endured their discontinue in the hope of
bargains, which they obtained. The crowd en-
braced capitalists, business men, professional
men, mechanics and laborers, and we are assur-
ed that il was the largest sale of lots ever made
in this city, andis conclusive evidence that the
prosperity of Knoxville is still in the ascendant.
McCallum ~ Co., managed the matter adj
mirably, and by iudicious advertising and hav-
ing plot of the lots drawn off by Mr. Charles
Waring, were enabled TO present the situation
of the lots so that every one could see exactly
what was offered.
Land in this locality has rapidly appreciated
during the past few years. y tract of about
seventy acres adjoining the tract sold yesterday
was offered four years ago for $4,000, but no
purchaser could be found, and now it is estimat-
ed to be worth $4,000, nearly six times as
much.
Ed. Aikers the talkist, out-did himself and
for three hours cried bids in a manner that
charmed the ear of the owner Mr.. Nc Anslly,
and when he sold the last lot was as fresh ms Il
rose and disposed of fine watch just to show
that he wasn't tired.
