SO, 900 ACRES OF LAND!


TENHE undersigned proposes TO sell 10000 ofine
IL land i'm what is called the Western District of Tennes
Sec among which othis best land, situate the
waters of Looshstchec, Big Hatchcc Forcd Deer Obion
and Mississippi rverSa large portion of which is the
cotton land in the State and well adapted 10 the growth of
tobacco and every other production the
same latitude 1t is situated between latitude 30 and &c.
io!! NO new country possesses more advantages. Ten
years ago the whole population scarcely exceeded five hun
dred souls 1t now contains largely upwards of one hundred
thousandan increase beyond example, considering the
whole District is not more than ninety miles square,
Among the great advantages this fertile District has
over all others, the facilities afforded trade and nav
gatonboundcd on the by the mother of rueys the
great Mississippi and the by the Tennessee river
both navgabic all of the year. by largest class
of steam boaishc main tributary streams are nayieabe
with keel and flat boaand the small class of steam boats
ply regularly up Big Hatchce, far Bolivar which
situated near the centre OF the District large portion
the above lands lie this stream and south Of it, inncdi-
atey that section where there already many large
cotton farms At this time, this section of country oe TO
capitalists great nducemens-and is unusually lowthe
population oil the most respectable character Industrious
Intelligent, and entcrprsng. Schools and Academies are
now in operation equal 10 the best in the State and
grants daily coming from Virginia, North South
Carolina, Georgia and Aabama and many farms have been
opened to the extent of and 400 producing more
cotton TO the than any other land in the same latitude
Twelve years experience has tested the saubiy Of the
clmac-no new country blessed with greater
share OF general good health Another great advantage
peculiar TO this section of country is that navigabc
are so Dispersed that there Is point which settlement
can be nade that will exceed greater distance from ma
visation than 20 miles and that the Mississippi river easy
oil access by land carriage at convenient points with
in this range of country,-whcTcas ut point below
Memphis until you reach the Walnut hills, distance of
400 miles, can you approach this great river at high water
on either side from the back country by land carragc-
owing TO the extensive swamps and lakes on both sides
below the southern line of Tennessee. Another advan-
tagc may here be suggested 10 cotton planters-tle
great distance west of the Allegheny Mountans--as
degree west from said mountains is considered by iu
dcious and experienced cotton planters equivalent TO
degree south for the production of cotton. Such is
my exalted opinion of this fine country, that no rca-
sonabe price would induce at this time part from
30 much of my lands, did not the situation of my affairs
make 1t absolutely necessary to raise funds TO discharge
the heavy debts which have been long and harrassingy
pressing me.For the last mentioned the under
signed wishes TO make large sale, which will enable
him 10 close his business If 900 acres can
be disposed of at sale, will give great bargain on
the most liberal credits say from years. by such
instruments may be agreed onI shall he absent for the
next sixty days, during which time, those who wish TO
purchase find list of the different tracts at my office in
Nashville or they apply 10 L. p. Cbcaham, Esq who
is in possession of my price and terms When return |
will show the lands TO any DESTROYS of purchasing.
