Il land in what is called the Western District of Tonnes

waters OF oohachee, Big Hachee, Forkcd Deer Obion
and Mississippi ivcrsa large portion of which is the best
cotton land in the State and well adapted TO the growth
corn tobacco, and every other production the
same latitude. 1t is situated between latitude 30 and So
30! No new country possesses advantages. Ten
years ago the whole population Scarce exceeded five hun
dred souls it contains largely upwards of one hundred
housandan increase beyond example, considering the
whole District is more than ninety miles SQUARE,
Among the great advantages this fertile District has
all others, the facilities afforded trade navi-
gaton-bounded the west by the mother Of rivers the
great Mississippi and on the by the Tennessee river
both naygbe at all seasons of the year. by the largest class
of steam boashc main tributary are navieabc

ply regularly Big Hatchee, far Bolivar which is
situated near the centre othe District large portion of
the above lands lie this stream and south of it, immedi-
atey in that section where there are already many large
cotton farms At this time, this section of country offers

Memphis, until you reach the Walnut hills distance of
400 miles, can you approach this great river high water
either side from the back country by land CARRIAGE
owing 10 the extensive swamps and lakes both sides
below the southern line of Tennessee Another advan-
tagc may here be suggested 20 cotton panters-the
great distance west of the Allegheny Mountains-as
degree west from said mountains is considered by u-
dcious and experienced cotton planters equivalent TO
degree south for the pro uctOn Of cotton. Such is
my exalted opinion OF this fine country that no rea-
sonable price would induce at this time to part from
much OF my lands did not the situation of my affairs
make il absolutely necessary to raise funds TO discharge
the heavy debts which have been long and harassnoly
pressing mc.Forthe last mentioned the under
