This tract contains abou $50 acres OF
cleared land. There is on this place at
least twenty good springs, and running
water in every field, with good GIN, Mill,
Stables, Overseer's House, Negro Quar-
tiers, &c. The cultivated and some of the
pasture lands are enclosed by good fen
ces, and the whole plantation is in excel
lent order. The wood land is covered
with cane and grass, and affords good
range for cattle, sheep and hogs, both win.
ter and summer. Cattle and sheep keep
in good order the whole year, without be-
ing fed on corn or fodder.
This celebrated plantation has averag-
ed bale and quarter of cotton to the
acre in cultivation for the last twenty five
years. The manager and slaves have en-
joyed fine health for many years, and it is
believed to be as healthy as any place in
the State. The present manager, Mai
Johnson, has had charge of the place for a
period of near eight years. and will show
the lines, cotton book, &c. to persons de-
sirous of examining il. He will also show
the annual product thereof, and certify to
the general health of the hands. 53S.7I

The Orchard on this desirable place
contains about two thousand fruit trees
consisting of Apples, Peaches, Pears,
Plums, Cherries, Ounces, Figs, &c

Gov. M'Nutt, and are of choice kinds, and
almost every variety. Most of the trees
are now loaded with fruit. A few grape
vines, and great variety of shrubbery,
are on the place.
The place has been remarkably heal
thy, and the residence being only one
mile and a quarter from the State Capt.
