Public Notice,

V>HE subscribers finding it inconvenient to
Il meet every Saturday for the purpose Of
executing conveyances to such persons as pur-
chased Town Lots. in the Town of Alton, of
Joseph Meacham, ESQ prior to the Esd of
March last; have deemed it proper to alter
their present arrangement, AND substitute in
lieu thereof the following All persons de-
sirous of obtaining deeds from us for the Lots
they have purchased, will please forward to
us their written evidences of purchase, on or
before the tenth day of February next, as we
do not intend to receive any after that period {.
And new deeds will be made out for them by
the 18th of next month, and ready to be delv-
cred. We wish this business to be closed as
| soon as possible.
The attention of the public is so frequently
Invoked to listen to exaggerated statements
respecting the advantages, rapid growth, and
| tutase importance OF towns that have recently
been laid off, that the subject is become in
| some measure disgusting. We do not feel de-
sirous, at this time, of saying much TO convince
any one of the future Importance of this place.
But one thing must be obvious, that the great
| road passing through this place, and leading
up the Missouri river to Franklin, travelled,
as it is, by so many thousands of emigrants and
people of all descriptions, that it truly renders
this place important. The person that can pry
into futurity, and reason from cause to effect,
would say, that the great future scene of com
mercial business will be near the mouth of the
Missouri and Illinois rivers and local situation
will determine the spot where it shall be-
Whether the present course of the Missouri is
to be diverted, and canal is to be made from
st. Charles to the mouth Of the Illinois-and
St. Charles itself is to be the future resi-
dence of the opulent mercantile men of the
west; or whether they will prefer the hand
some and fertile plains Of Portage de Sioux
or the modest, but commanding eminences
of Alton '--are questions which the future
will decide. Some one of them is somewhat
more than probable. If it is to be on the east
side of the Mississippi, nature has pointed ont
the place just above the head of the grea,
American Bottom. There is not a place il
the western country that has greater faciiitie,
for building town than this The stores o.
