A RARE OPPORTUNIT for investment
IN is now presented to capitalists or company
des rngto combine bookkeeping with mercantile

The multiplicity OF my professional and private
engagements alone induces me to offer for sale
one half Of the whole of the extensive and com

Court MISUNDERSTANDING the land W hch surrounds
the courthouse, about 400 acres, The offices and
residences, together with all the numerous priv
leges connected with the property. The Hotel
mas recently been thoroughly repaired, painted,
newly enclosed and every way fitted ont for the
accommodation OF the public. II is situated al The
county seat. Immediately on the Boydton and Pc
tersburg 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 backsmhs 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 an intelligent and Judi

which by enlightened liberaiiy on the part OF the
owner, in inviting and encouraging persons en-
gagged in the different commercial and mechanical

treat for families and invalids from the heat and
dust Of the cities. The tract of land is chiefly in
woods, and contains an inexhaustble 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.
The place Is fully supplied with the purest
water, from well and number Of springs. The
almost unexampled success ofthe 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
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 admonishes
purchasers to buy at once.

satisfied that 20 per centum on an estimate invest
ment of $25, 900 can be realized by sagacious
owner or company annually from this property in
its present situation
The confident opinion ofthe most judicious and
