Court.house-including the land which surrounds
the courthouse, about 400 acres, the Offices and
residences together with all the numerous privi-

newly enclosed and every way fitted out for the
accommodation of the public. II is situated tthe
county seat. Immediately on the Boydton and Pc
tersburg Plank Road, within fourteen miles of the
city OF Petersburg and thrty-six miles Of the city
OF richmond. The Southside 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 blacksmith's shop, the extensive stables

two hundred horses, spacious and unfailing ice

Others already constitutes attractive village,

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

The Hotel has large and rapidly increasing
patronage; it is regular eating house for the
stage passengers. The post Office is kept here.
On court and all other public days, the dining
room, bar and stables are literally encouraged,

OF this Hotel TO Petersburg, its ease Of access
from every quarter, the well established heathfu3
ness Of the place, together with the agreeable
society around, render it a pleasant summer re-
treat for families and invalids from the heat and
dust of The cities The tfact of land is chiefly in
woods, and contains an inexhausible supply OF

highest degree Of Improvement. Acst
The place is fully supplied with the purest

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 to these
improvements, and at no place has property more
rapidly or steadily advanced than on this plank

The confident opinion ofthe most judicous and
prudent business men is, that tins property has
already greatly increased in value, and that its
prospective value, looking to-as certain s0ent-
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 me to forego the certain great pecuni-
airy advantage, that will assuredly accrue, in few
years, to an enlerprising owner of this property,
but the earnest desire on my part 10 diminish the
cares of business and TO devote my energies in
their accustomed and more appropriate sphere.
