April lS43, and the other dated 9th June lsa3
both OF which are duly recorded in the Office q
The County Cont Of Augusta, will proceed to
sell at auction, on the premises, on Saturday the
2ith Of May instant, two Of the Tracts of Land
therein named.
One OF these Tracts contains about
100 A0IDlGS
OF choice Land. 1t lies on the south side of thu
South River, and is bounded by it for near half
mile, and adjoins the lands of Martin KindiU.
Girard Ii. Stuart, and Isaac Hall. The whole Of
the tract is arabic, and the soil is sandy loan,
resting on a solid clay subs,ratum. About loo
Acres are cleared and in fine state of cultiva. .
ton, and the residue is covered with a haavv
growth of pine, oak and hickory. There is
good Spring on the tract, but no buildings of any
kind.
The other Tract lies short distance from tina
one above described, and contains about
100 .1crcS,
about forty of which are cleared, and the res;dua
well tinibered with pine, oak and hickory.
This Tract also lies well, and is productive land
but is without improvements.
The soil and situation of these tracts make
them very desirablat to persons who wish TO pur.
chase small tracts of land.
1t may be proper 10 add that if the purchasers
should wish to add to either of the above trac,sA
they can have an opportunity of purchasing add
jacent land on reasonable terms, as Girard b.
Stuart has a tract of 900 Acres which adioins the
first named tract, upon which there is comfor.
table dwelling-house and out-houses, which ba
will sell on accommodating terms.
The land will be shewn to persons DESTROYS of
purchasing, by Girard b. Stuart or Archibald A.
Hall.
The terms Of sale will be one-third of the nurs
chase money in hand, and the balance in one and
two years.
Possession will be given, so far as may be ne
cessary for improvements, Immediately after the
sale, and full possession after the growing crops
removed.

the tract, which afford an ample supply of wa
ter. The Meadow is large and exceedingly pro-
ductve. and not more than an acre of it is liable

The location of the Springs and the Wood

dant supply of timber and water.
In point of fertility of soil, salubrity Of eli
mate, advantages of society and convenience to
