VALUABLE REAL ESTATE in DINWID-
DIE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, FOR SALE.
A RARE OPPORTUNITY for..investment
IA 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 nj Dinwiddie
Court-house---includng 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
mas recently been thoroughly repaired, painted,
newly enclosed and every way fitted out for the
accommodation of the public 1t is situated at he
county seat immediately on the Boydton and Pc
tersburg Plank Road, within fourteen miles OF the
city OF Petersburg, and thiriy-six miles of the city
OF richmond. The South-sde 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 blacksmths shop, the extensive stables
In complete repair, and capable of accommodating
TWO hundred horses, spacious and unlailing ice
house, and other convenient out-houses attached
together with church and a male and female
Academy on the and an extensive Foundry now
in process of erection by an intelligent and Judi
clous company, and number of handsome resi-
dences adjacent, owned by the subscriber and
others, already constitutes an attractive village
which by enlightened liberality 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 nm
important place OF business and greatly tributary
10 all the leading interests of the city Of Peters
burg. it Rt r5t
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 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 healthfuls
ness OF the place, together with the agreeable
society around, render it pleasant susimer re-
treat for families and invads from the heat and
dust of the cities. The tract of land is chiefly in
woods, and contains an inexhaustible 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
waller, 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 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. ifs
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 5sa54i
The confident opinion of the most iudcious and
prudent business men is, that this properly has
already greatly increased in value. and that its
prospective value, looking to--as a certain epent-
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 10 forego the certain great peeuni-
airy advantage, that will assuredly accrue, in few
years, to an cnterprising owner of this property,
but Inc earnest desire on my part. to diminish the
cares of business and TO devote nv energies in
their accustomed and more appropriate sphere
should prefer TO sell one-half of this property
10 an enterprising and capable business man or
company, who would take charge of the whole
concern, but If desired, by purchasers, will sell
sell the whole. Possession can be had whenever
the sale is made or at the end of the present wear
as may be desired. The terms will be made lib
erai and accommodating as 10 time. BY the pune
tua payment oil interest as It accrues the deferred
payments may run for series of years.
The property will be shown by Major Anderson
or me, both residing on the premises, to any one
desiring TO see IT, Letters directed 10 me al Dim
widde Court House will be promptly answered.
Should this properly not be sold before 18th of
September next, tDinwiddie county court day)
tof which due notice will be given through the
papers,) half or the whole Of the property will
then and there be offered to the highest bidder al
public auction. E. ii. SMITH
