SO 900 ACRES OLE LAM,

1uE undersigned proposes sell SO 900 acres of fine
ID land IN what is called the Western District of Tonnes
sec among which is of his best land situate ON The
waters oil Looshotchcc Big atchec Forked Deer Obpn
ana vcrsa large portion which is the best
COTTON land In the state, and well adapted to the growth of
corn tobacco, and every other production common 10 the
same latitude. IL is situated between latitude RI and M
oo. NO new country possesses more advantages. Ten
years ago the whole population scarcely five hun
drcd SOULS now contains largely upwards OF hundred
lousand-an increase beyond example, considering tbe
whole District Is not than ninety niles square =
Among the great advantages this fertile District has
over all Others the facilities afforded TO trade and n,v
gaon;bounded on the west by the mother of rireys tho
great Mississippi and ON the east by the Tennessee river
both navgalc at all Seasons of the year. by the largest
oil steam boatshc main tributary are navyablc
WIN Keel and Hat boaand the small class of steam boats
ply regularly up Big iachce, far Bolivar, which il
situated near the centre ofhe District. large portion of
he ABOVE lands lie on this stream and south of il, mmcd-
atey In that section where there are already many large
cotton farms. AZ this time this section of country offer To-
capitalists great inducemcnts;and is unusually owbe
pop1lion OF The most respectable character, Industrious
intelligent, and entcrprising Schools and Academies are
now in operation equal 20 the best in the State and emil
grants are daily coming from Virginia, North and South
carolina Georgia and Alabama; and farms have keen
opened to the extent Of and 400 acres, producing more
cotton TO the than any other land in the same latitude
Twelve years experience has tested the salubrty of the
clha'e-no new country ever blessed with greater
share OF general good health Another great advantage
peculiar to this section OF country H. that navgabc streams
dispersed, that there no point at which settlement,
can ne made, that will exceed greater distance from ma
vga'on than 20 miles, and that the Mississippi rive casv
oil access by land carriage at many convenient points with
Memphis, until you reach the Walnut hills distance of
ioo miles, can you approach this great river high water
on chcr side from the back country by land
owing TO the extensive swamps and lakes both sides
below the southern line of Tennessee Another advan-
tagc may here he suggested TO cotton pantcrs-the
great distance of the Alcrlany Monntoins-as n
degree west from said mountains is considered by ju-
icious 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 Mt this fine part from
so much oil my lands did not the situation of my affairs
make absolutely necessary raise funds TO discharge
the heavy debts which have been long and
pressing on mcForthc last mentioned the under
signed wishes to make one large SALE which will enable
be disposed OF at SALE will give great bargain on
the most liberal credits, from years. by such
instruments as may be agreed onI shall lee absent for the
next sixty days during which time those who wish 10
purchase can find list the different tracts at my office in
Nashville or they can apply TO l.. p Chca,ham Esq who
Is IN possession OF my price and terms. When return
