%sSSSse now reside, containing 4J5 acres, $50
,SL-- acres of which are under fence and ia cul-
tivation, and the balance in timber of a superior
quality.
The location Of the farm is very desirable, be-
ing situated miles south Of Glasgow, and bor-
dering on the Missouri river, though not one foot
of il is in bottom. There is on the place, and
convenient TO the house, spring Of as good water
as there is in the world, and which never fails,

the place. There is good orchard of Apples,
Peaches, Cherries, &c.
The improvements consist OF a good single sto-
ry frame dwelling, containing rooms--3 below
and two above--a very large tobacco barn--in
word, all necessary out-budngs. A farther de-
scription is unnecessary, as it is presumed that
those wishing to purchase will call and examine
for themselves.
TERMS-One half the purchase money will be
required to be paid down, the other half in twelve
months. Immediate possession will be given aud
an undisputed title made.
Any further information regarding this place
can be had by calling on the undersigned on the
