VALUABLE REAL ESTATE IN DINWID.
DIE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, FOR SALE.
1 A RARE OPPORTUNITY for Investment
| IN is now presented to capitalists or a company
des ring 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
| modious Hotel and appurtenances at Dinwidde
Court-house-including the land which surrounds
the courthouse, about 400 acres, the Offices and
| residences, together with all the numerous privi-
leges Connected with the property. The Hotel
| mas recently been thoroughly repaired, painted,
| newly enclosed and every way fitted out for the
| accommodation Of the public. II is situated at the
county seat, Immediately on the Boydton and Pc
| tersburg Plank Road within fourteen miles OF the
city of Petersburg. and thrty-sx 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 blacksmith's 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 a 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 an attractive village,
which by enlightened liberaliy 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; II 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,
| and yield large and certain profits The vicinity
| of this Hotel TO Petersburg, its ease of access
from every quarter, the well established healthful;
! ness Of the place, together with the agreeable
| society around, render il a pleasant summer re-
treat for families and invalds from the heat and
dust of the cities. The tract Of land is chiefly in
! woods, and contains inexhausiible 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 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 neighborhood of Dinwiddie Court
| house, and between this place and Petersburg.
Each successive sale OF real estate shows a strk-
i ing advance upon previous sales, and admonishes
| purchasers to buy at once.
From facts within my personal knowledge am
| satisfied that 20 per centum on 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 is, that this property has
| already greatly increased in value and that its
prospective value, looking to--as certain event

could tempt me TO forego the certain great pecuni
airy advantage, that will assuredy accrue, in few
years, TO an enterprisng 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.
should prefer TO sell onehalf of this property
| TO an enterprising and capable business man or
company, who would take charge Of the whole
concern, but il desired by purchasers, will sell

the sale is made, the end of the present year.
