VALUABLE REAL ESTATE In DINWID-
DIE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, FOR SALE. !,
"A RARE OPPORTUNITY for investment
IN is now presented TO capitalists 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
onefhaf of the whole of the extensive and COM
modious Hotel and appurtenances at Dinwidde
Court-house--lncluding 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
has recently been thoroughly repaired, painted
newly enclosed and every way fitted out for the
accommodation of the public. 1t is situated al the
county seat, Immediately on the Boydton and Pc
tersburg Plank Road, within fourteen miles of the
city of Petersburg, and thirty-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 backsmiths 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 a male and female
Academy on the land; an extensive Foundry now
in process OF erection by an intelligent and Judi
cious company, and number of handsome resi-
dences adjacent, owned by the subscriber and
Others already constitutes attractive village
which by enlightened liberaliiy ON the part 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 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 healthfuls
ness of the place, together with the agreeable
society around, render il a pleasant summer re-
treat for families and invalids from the heat and
dust of The cities. The tract Of land is chiefyin
woods, and contains an 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
wafer, 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 10 these
improvements, and at no place has property more
rapidly or steadily advanced than on this plank
road in the neighborbood Of Dinwiddie Court
house, and between this place and Petersburg.
Each successive sale of real estate shows a strk-
ing advance upon previous sales, and admonishes
purchasers TO buy at once.
From facts within my personal knowledge, am
satisfied that 70 per centum on an estimate invest
inent OF $4,000 can be realized by sagacious
owner or company annually from this property in
It's present situation.
The confident opinion Of the most judicions and
prudent business men is, that this properly has
already greatly increased in value, and that its
value, looking to--as certain evenf-
the speedy development of all its advantages
comprising as they do all the elements of an i'm
porant village, is intellectually great. Nothing
could tempt me TO forego the certain great pecuni-
airy advantage, that will assuredly accrue, in few
years, 10 an enterprsing owner of this property,
but the earnest desire on my part TO diminish tho
cares of business and 10 devote my energies in
their accustomed and more appropriate sphere.
should prefer TO SCH one-half of this property
10 an enerprisng 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 Ut the end Of the present year.
as may be desired. The terms will be made lib
eral aud accommodating as 10 time. BY the pune
tual payment Of interest as il 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, 10 any one
desiring 10 see IT, Letters directed 10 me al Din
widdie Court House will be promptly answered.
Should this properly not be sold before 18th of
September next, (DInwiddie county court day.
(of which due notice will be given through the
papcrs,) onchalf the whole OF the properly will
then and there be offered 10 the highest bidder at
public auction. T.. III. SMITH.
IL have also for sale several most desirable
tracts OF land, varying in distance from TO Ia
miles from Petersburg, all on or near the Boydlon
and Petersburg plank road. Among them arc
several well fixed farming tracts with residences
aud all necessary out houses. The remainder are
valuable timber lands. A circular describing
hese lands will be sent TO any one wishing 10 pur.
chase. These lands will be sold low and on ac-
