N. B. Niy reason sorbeing so particular
is, that when mr. Black was pulling so many
cncomiums upon his horse, to the prejudice
of many others, he forgot to do my horse
the honour to inform the publick, that hie
sire performed what is above afl'erted.
URSUAN 1* to the last will and testa
ment of William Eaton, jun . deceased ,
will be sold at private salc about 1200
acres of vuluable land lying- 0n the north
side of Roanokc river, near the said Eatou's
serry (commonly called Ra-wlings's sorry)
in the upper end of Northampton county,
North Curolina. There are on the said
tract oi'land three plantations, in but in
different order. It is needless to ssity any
thing more of the quality and advan
tages attending the ssitid land than that it
contains about 300 acres of vahlable low
grounds, and no gendeman would choose
to purchase so valuahle a tract with
out first viewing it. 'l'hree different pay
mcnts w'fll be allowed the purchaser, or
