WISHING to transfer portion of my la5of
to the South West, where have large and
valuable landed property that desire to bring
into active operation, offer for sale one of the
most desirable highland Estates in this region of
country.
This Estate is in Nelson county, miles below,
the Court Houses fourishng little village-and
miles above New Market, on The James Riyet
Canal The tract contains
lol1 ACRES,
more than half of which is in wood remarkable
well timbered-and very large portion of it as
fine Tobacco land as any in that part of the coun.
try. Most of the cleared land Is in good state
OF cultivation, having been improved by the par.
tial use of Plaster and Clover TO which think
1t is as well adapted the famous "Short Hills''
of Loudoun.
The tract occupies beautiful VALLEY, the cen.
tire of which is cleared, leaving supply of tim
Der on each side, running short distance up the
SIDES noe. OF the low mountains forming the valley:
Although situated among mountains, this tract OF
land lies remarkably weII-being as level as
could be desired, with not SO acres on the fnonn-
tain side too steep for cultivation
1t has, think, near 100 Acres of Creek and
Branch Flats, (mosl OF which are highly impros
ytd' having been kept up as Tobacco Lots capa-
bile oil being converted into watered meadow.
This meadow land alone, Under iudcious sys-
tenn encouragement, such is practised by the Far.

greater than the interest the purchase money

sides supplying the large number of horses used
