which l wish to transfer portion of my agri-
cultural labor, / offer for sale, at very low

6acco land in that part of the country and is
heavily timbered with Oak, Poplar, Chestnut
and Locust.
This land is beautifully situated, forming
valley between two low ranges of mountain,
perfectly accessible and containing lands of
the richest quality,)-is remarkably level,
and abounds with springs and streams of the
purest water. There are between 60 and 20
Acres OF creek and branch FLATS, which
have for many years been kept as Tobacco
iots-are very productive in all kinds of
crop-admirably adapted to grass, and the
whole capable of being converted into acater-
cd meado,o. The high lands have been par
TALLY improved, by the use of Plaster and
Glover in that slovenly way usually practised
by the tobacco planter in this portion Of the
State. But the experiments made by myself
and my neighbor Mr.. Rives, on similar lands,
have shown that no soil or climate in Vir-
ginia is more admirably adapted to these
great means of agricultural improvement.
