LIVELY MOVEMENT
OF REAL ESTATE ALL OVER THE
CITY.
The Prices Reasonable, but a Steady
Demand for Homes and for
Investment.

"The movement of real estate is
much livelier now than it was last
yesr when they were talking so mu h
about a great boom," said Mr.. j. @.
McDavitt of the Shelby County. At
stract Company yesterday. I'VE have
no boom, but the market has been
very active for weeks pat and seems
to be improving every Gay"
"How are the prices ?"
Reasonable. l don't know of more
than one piece OF land cold in the last
month for which fancy price was
obtained. Ths purchaser seemed TO
be a little crazy ABOUT it, or be III GIT
have had it cheaper. No, the prices,
though far, are in few cases excryiJ-
tant, aud thu consequence is that
there is a steEdy demand. | would
rather see il that way than any o,her."
In what parts Of the city does the
preference Of buyers seem t. lie :"

locality, but properly is changing
hands from Chelsea to Fort Pick ering.

Manassas street, this on Georgia, here

speculation ?"
"For both, though / think mo 9
than half the Gales are made to per-
sons who desire to provide themselves
with homes while they can. A good
deal is bought, however, for invest
meut. There has been a time when
almost anything was looked upon as
safer than Shelby county real estAte,
but it is not 80 now. And il you will
notice, there is a grow ng de-
mand for property in the
country, princips ly along the pixies
the county hiss built in the last few
years. The more of that work III t is
done the create the demand will be-
come. There are hundreds OF buti
ness men who would be glad to have
their families out OF town If ths roads
were good and the difficulty OF getting
back aud forth was removed. Take II
altogether, think the outlook is very
encouraging. Instead OF the few irish,
excited feeling which might naturally
grow out Of all this talk alb out new
railroads and a bridge, we have q
quiet, assured tone of confidence
which is sure to be lasting"

with twenty-one bucks and sixteen
squaws, is at present in the close neigh

not hold him If he wanted to leave. Ger
onimo Is at present under flag of truce.
A gentleman who passed through Tomb

chiefs camp and says the reports that
Geronimo was badly wounded are false.
He Is In tirst-class shape physically and
mentally. He says all the matter with
him Is he Is out OF ammunition. Geron.
imo was seated on rock on the mount
