AUGUSTA SPRINGS,
FOR SALE

MY business rendering it impossible for me
Az TO pay the slightest attention to this proper
ty, offer it for sale on very reasonable terms.
1t would be a very valuable property in the
hands of any one it might suit to occupy it as a
watering place. The buildings are extensive
and costly, and well arranged for the accommo.
dation of 100 boarders. The water is of similar
character with the White Sulphur, has high re-
putation for its medicinal virtues, and was much
resorted to so long as they were properly kept.
This place is situate about Is miles N. w.
from Staunton, on the Warm Springs and Harri-
sonburg Turnpike, Immediately at the base of
the North Mountain, and has long been regarded
as one of the most healthy, beautiful and roman
tic spots in the western country.
The land is estimated to contain about $50
ACRES, and is capable of being made an excel
lent stock farm-from so to 60 acres of watered
meadow might be made, and it commands an ex.
tensive and valuable range for cattle.
For terms, apply to subscriber at Stanton.
