IA is now presented TO capitalists or company
desiring 10 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
modious Hotel and appurlenances at Dinwddie
Court 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 out for the
accommodation Of the public. II is situated al tho
county seat, Immediately on The Boydton and Pc
tersburg Plank Road, within fourteen miles OF the
city of Petersburg, and ihirtysix miles Of the city
Of Richmond. The South-side railroad passes
within eight miles, and the Petersburg aud Raleigh
railroad within eleven miles OF this place. This
establishment, with the Offices and residences, the
store and blacksmilhs shop, the extensive stables
in complete repair, and capable OF accommodating
two hundred horses, spacious and unfailing 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 aud
others, already constitutes an attractive village
which by enlightened lberaliiy ON the part OF the
owner, in inviting and encouraging persons en-
gagged in the different commercial and mechanical
pursuits TO settle here, may be quickly made an
important place OF business and greatly tributary
to all the leading interests of the city OF Peters,
burg
The Hotel has large and rapidly increasing
patronage; il is a regular eating house for the
stage passengers Tne post office is kept here.
On court and all other public days, the dining
room, bar and stables are literally encouraged,
and weld large and certain profits. The vicinity
OF this Hotel TO Petersburg, It's ease Oh access
from every quarter, the well established healthfu
ness of the place, together with the agreeable
society around, render II a pleasant summer re.
treat for families and invalids from the heat and
dust of the cities. The tract Of land is chiefly in
woods, and contains an inexhaus,ible 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 inc
highest degree of improvement
The place is fully supplied with the purest
water, from well and number Of springs The
almost unexamped 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 to these
improvements, and at no place has properly more
rapidly or steadily advanced than on this plank
road, in the neghborhood of Dinwiddie Court
house, and between this place and petersburg.
Each successive sale Of real estate shows sirlk-
ing advance upon previous sales, and admonlshes
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 sagacious
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 mat its
prospective value, looking to--as certain erent--
the speedy development OF all its advantages
comprising as they do all the elements OF an I'M
portant village, is intellectually great. Nothing
could tempt TO forego the certain great pecuni-
ary advantage, that will assuredly accrue,n few
years to an cnterprsing owner OF this property,
but The earnest desire my part 10 diminish the
cares of business and to devote my energies In
their accustomed and more appropriate sphere.
