supplies the place of the other four-ffths,
costs nothing, or next to nothing, and is
obtained by very natural process, discoy-

FLORIDA LAND AGENCY.

THE undersigned has established an agency
l. in the town of Alligator, Columbia Coun-
ty, Fla, for the purchase, sale or location of
Land Warrants, the purchase and sale OF lands
generally. improved and unimproved. The
fact now being established that a Rail Road
is to be constructed Immediately connecting
the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, running
through the entire length of the county, East
and West, and in view of the great fertility
of our soil, the unusually fine growth of pine
timber the land, the healthfuness of the
climate, and the reasonable terms on which
lands can now be obtained, there is perhaps
no section Of the Union which affords equal
inducements to the emigrant from the older
States. Having had some experience in farm
ing on the different kinds OF land, and &C
quired general knowledge of them through
out the county, and having acquired unusual
facilities for pointing out such as are for sale
either of public or private lands, he feels
very confident of making it the interest of
all persons wishing inform alton, or who may
have deter mined to settle in Florida to call
on him.
