on high beautifql belt Of prairie Of about half
mile in width, with large body Of good timber
on each side.i The advantages of the location are
already known and appreciated land many persons
are now waiting to build. = .2.a''shz q
The location is about central between the
Missouri and Kansas rivers, and with the best
natural roads in the west leading to It. It Is a.
bout central to country that is susceptible of a
large and dense population, ana everything points
to this place as the centre Of county that wial

There is an abundance of lime stone rock. in
exhaustible veins of stone coal in the immediate
vicinity, which have been tested, and proved to
be good. Added to all these there is good tim
Der, good soil, and good water adjoining the
town. There are several fine springs Of clear
and but a few miles west is where the old Del
aware Mills were established, said to be an ex-
celient mill site.
The town will be SURVEYED Immediately and
Plats made, but no public sale of lots will take
place before next spring. But in order to accom-
tiiooC VIII walt ,sDuliQ CllS Wlhl6f a
few lots will be sold at private sale. e-
An examination Of the premises, will not fail
teconv1ce any one, of the superiorelaims of Jack
sonville The great body of the travel from the
regson of country bordering on the Mo. River,
