The beautiful home of the Beauvoir Club, located on South Perry street, has been sold. For a consideration of s34.50o. committee of the club mem bers disposed of the property to E B. Joseph. acting as agent for party, whose name at the present time Is not divulged.
 Great interest attaches to this trans action, not only because it represents one of the largest real estate sales of a private dwelling ever consummated in Montgomery, but more especially because of the fact that the building sold Is one of the handsomest of the Colonial homes in this section of the country, and Is representative of the wealth and culture of the old South. When, several weeks ago. the an- nouncement was made that the Beau voir Club would after october of the present year move into the new Bell building. having leased the top floor for ten years. 1t was also known that the club had selected a committee to dispose of it's old home, but until the present time no intimation was given that purchaser had been found will ing to pay the price demanded.
 There Is no definite information as to the intention of the purch aser of the property with regard to its utilization. whether 1t will be used as private residence. or will be demolished for some other purpose cannot be learned. A rumor is current that the present building will be torn down and the property sold as lots. but no verifica- tion of it has been obtained.
 Tn accordance with the terms of the sale, the purchaser assumes mort gage of S25.000 now on the property. and has paid to the club the sum of $500. As soon as the deed of con t~ et1 addifinnQl nav ment of S2,500 will be made. provided the deed be signed within fifteen days after the delivery of the abstract. The final payment of s6,500 will be made September 1. The abstract was delivered yesterday. and 1t Is improo- able that any hitch will occur in the transaction. Another provision of the sale Is that the club be allowed to oceupy the property until November 1 without rental. The club expects to remove to the Bell building October 1, but in case of delay will still nave a home.
 The property formerly belonged to the Knox estate. passing into the hands of g. Roman. who disposed or it to the Beauvoir Club on the oc- casion of It's removal from its home on, Blob street, at present occupied oy the Elks Club. It is Ideally located having a frontage of 1s4 feet on Ferry street and I36 feet on Lawrence street Set far back in the lot. upon which are some of the most beautiful oak trees of the city. the handsome dwell ing seems typical of the aristocracy of ante-bellum days. The hope has been expressed by many that the build ing will continue to be used as res Idence. The Beauvoir Club will entertain Monday night at german, wnich promises to be one of the most orll' iant affairs of the season. This en- tertainment will possibly be the last ever given by the Club in its old home and the air of sentiment necessarily induced by the circumstances lends to if a peculiar unusual interest. The Club will be beautifully decorated ano inc attendance will doubtless be very large. No effort will be spared to make the affair a memorable one in society annals
