so, 600 ACRES OF LAND!


undersigned proposes to sell 1000 of fine
IL land in what is called the Western District Tonnes
see among whchs some ohis best land, situate the
waters OF Looshachec, Big Hatchcc Forkcd Deer Obion
aud Mississippi vcrsa large portion of which is the best
cotton land III the State and well adapted the growth
corn tobacco, and every other production common TO the
latitude. IL is situated between latitude IS and &C.
3o!! no new country possesses advantages. Ten
years ago the whole population scarcely five
ed souls now contains largely upwards OF one hundred
thousaiian increase beyond example, considering the
whole District is not than ninety miles square
Among the great advantages this fertile District has
over all Others the facilities afforded to trade
gaiion:boundcd the west by the mother of riucrs the
great Mississpp and the by the Tennessee river
bo navgabe at all seasons OF the year. by the largest class
oil -boatsthe main tributary streams navgable
with keel and flat boaand the small of
ply regularly up Big achec far as Bolivar which Is
situated near the centre ofthe District large portion of
the above lands lie this stream and south of it, immedi-
aey in that section where there already many large
cotton farms AT this time, this section of country offers TO
capitalists great nIucemcnts;and is unusually iowthe
population of the most respectable character Industrious
Intelligent and cntcprising Schools and Academies
now in operation equal TO the best in the State, and emil
grants arc daily coming from Virginia, North and South
Carolina Georgia and Alaama and many farms have been
opened 10 the extent OF and 100 acres, producing
cotton 10 the than any other land in the latitude
Twelve years experience has tested the salubry of the
cmac-no new country was ever blessed with greater
share of general good health. Another great advantage
peculiar this section OF country is that navigabc streams
dispersed, that there is point which settlement
can DC male, that will exceed greater distance from ma
ygaton than 20 miles, and that the Mississippi rivers easy
of access by land carriage al many convenient points with
in this range of counry-whercas at point below
Memphis, until you reach the Walnut hills, distance of
400 miles, can approach this great river at high
on either side from the back country by land carriage
owing 10 the extensive swamp. and lakes ON both sides
below the southern line of Tennessee Another advan-
tage may here be suggested 10 cotton pancrs-hc
great distance west of the Allegheny Mountains-as
degree west from said mountains is considered by ju-
dcious and experienced cotton planters equivalent
degree south for the production of cotton. Such is
my exalted opinion Of this fine country that
sonabc price would induce this fine part from
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 Increasingly
pressing on For the reason last mentioned the under
signed wishes TO make large SALE which will enable
hin 10 close up his business At If 10000 can
be disposed Of at SALE will give great bargain on
the most liberal credits say from TO years, by such
instruments may be agreed onI shall be absent for c
next sixty days during which time, those who wish to
purchase find stoG the different tracts my Office in
Nashville or they apply TO L. r. Chcatam Esq. who
IS in possession of my price and terms. When return,
will show the lands 10 any dcsirous of purchasing.
