A RARE OPPORTUNITY for Investment

A RARE OPPORTUNITY for Investment
IA Is now presented to capitalists or company
desiring TO combine bookkeeping with mercantile
and general mechanical pursuits.
The multiplicity of my professional and private
engagements alone induces me 10 offer for sale
one half Of the whole Of the extensive and com
modous Hotel and appurtenances at Dinwiddie
MISUNDERSTANDING the land which surrounds
the courthouse, about 400 acres the Offices and
residences, together with all the numerous priyi-
leges connected with the property The Hotel
has recently been thoroughly repaired, painted,
newly enclosed and every way fitted Qua for the
accom- mediation of the public. IL is situated al the
county seat, Immediately on the .Boydion and Pc
tersbnrg Plank Road, within fourteen miles OF the
city OF Petersburg, and thirysix miles OF the city
of Richmond The South-side railroad passes
within eight miles, and the Petersburg and Raleigh
railroad within eleven miles Of this place. This
establishment, with the Offices and residences, the
store and blacksmiths shop, the extensive stables
in complete repair and capable OF accommodating
two hundred horses, spacious and uniailIng Ice
house, and other convenient out-houses attached,
together with church and male and female
Academy on the land; an extensive Foundry now
In process OF erection by intelligent and Judi
cious company, and number of handsome resi-
dences adjacent, owned by the subscriber and
others, already constitutes attractive village,
which by enlightened liberaliiy on the part OF the
owner in inviting and encouraging persons en-
gagged in the different commercial and mechanical
pursuits 10 settle here, may be quickly made an

burg
The Hotel has large and rapidly increasing
patronage; il is regular eating house for the

On court and all other public days, the dining

treat for families and invalids from the heat and
dust of the cities. The tract OF land is chiefly in
woods, and contains an inexhausibe supply OF
timber for plank, rails. and fuel. The open land
is improved, and in regular cultivation. The soil
is naturally very good, and susceptible OF the
highest degree OF improvement. s
The place is fully supplied with the purest
water, from a well and number of springs. The
almost unexampled success of the different works
Of internal Improvement passing through this
country, together with the general prosperity OF
the country has greatly enhanced the value OF all
lands and places of business, contiguous 10 these
improvements, and at no place has property more
rapidly or steadily advanced than this plank
road, in the neighborhood Of Dinwiddie Court
house, and between this place and Petersburg.
Each successive sale of real estate shows strik-
ing advance upon previous sales, and admonshes
purchasers to buy at once.
From facts within my personal knowledge, am
satisfied that 20 per centum on an estimate invest
ment of $4,000 can be realized by sagacous
owner or company annually from this property in
its present situation.
The confident opinion of the most judicious and
prudent business men is, that this property has
already greatly increased in value, and that its
prospective value looking to--as a certain event
the speedy development OF all its advantages
comprising they do all The elements of an i'm
portant village, is ncalcnISbly great. Nothing
could tempt me TO forego the certain great pecuni
airy advantage, that will assuredly accrue, in few
years, to an enterprising owner of this property,
but The earnest desire on my part 10 diminish The
cares of business and 10 devote my energies in
their accustomed and more appropriate sphere.
should prefer 10 sell half of this property
10 an enterprising aud capable business man
company, who would take charge of the whole
concern, but if desired, by purchasers, will sell
sell the whole. Possession can be bad whenever
the sale is made, ~ the end of the present year,
may be desired. The terms will be made lib
eral and accommodating as TO time. BY the pune
tua payment OF interest as II accrues the deferred
payments may run for series of years.
The properly will be shown by Major Anderson
or me, both residing on the premises TO any one
desiring 10 see IL. Letters directed 10 al Din
widdie Court House will be promptly answered.

September h,At, (DInwiddie county court day.)

public auction. E. II. SMITH.
III have also for sale several most desirable
tracts of land, varying in distance from 6 10 lG
miles from Petersburg, all on or near the Boydton
