1914 C6c,ca,
more than half Of which is in wood remarka.
bly, well timbered-and large portion of it
is as fine Tobacco land as any in that part of

up the sides ofthe low mountains forming the
valley. Although situated among mountains.
this tract of land lies remarkably well-being

acres OH the mountain side too steep for cult
walton.

OW. This meadow land alone under judi
cious system of management, such as is prac-
tised by the Farmers Of the Valley of Va,
would give profit greater than the interest
on the purchase money for the Estate ! Hay

Canal, from STto ST. so per l0Q-and the de-
Inand IS likely to continue, for besides supply
ing the large number of horses used in the
