HoN. A. S. CLAY and family have moved
into their elegant new residence, recently
finished on Atlanta street. by Messrs. L.
Black and Son. This building is two story
and has twelve rooms, with every modern
convenience. 1t is situated in beautiful
grove and the lot runs back and takes in
about 80 acres, good water, land partly
cleared and some of it we'll timbered. Mr..
Clay has on the place as fine piece of
clover as ever grew on land. He is now
having his front yard beautifully arranged,
and has without doubt one of the prettiest
places in town. The interior finish of his
new home is perfectly beautiful, and every.
thing conveniently arranged, rejecting
great credit on the architect and the build

$500 and will probably run up to $4,000
before Mr.. Clay gets through identifying
the place.
