In Tracts of 40 acres and Upwards, on Long
Credits and at Low Rates of Interest
INHESE lands were granted by the Govern
1 ment TO aid in the construction of this road
and are among the richest and most fertile in
the world. They extend fGom North East and
North West, through the middle of the State,
to the extreme South. and include every variety
OF climate and productions found oetw cen those
parallels of latitude. The Northern portion is
chiefly prairie, interspersed with fine groves.
and in the middle and Southern sections timber
predominates. alternating with beautiful prai-
ries and openings.
The climate is more healthy, mild and euua-
bic, than any other part of the country-the air
is pure and bracing, while living streams and
springs of excellent water aboul d.
Btuminous Coal is extensively mined and
supplies a cheap and desirable fuel being fur
nshed at many points at 81 to s. per ton-and
wood can be had at the same rate per cord.
Building Stone Of an excellent quality also
abounds which can be procured for little more
than the expense of transportation
The great fertility of these lands, which are
a black rich mould from two to five feet deep
and gently roliing-their contiguity to this road
by which every facility is furnished for travel
and transportation, to the principal markets
North, South, East, West, and the economy
with which they can be cultivated, render them
the most valuable investment that can ee foAnd,
and present the most favorable opportunity for
persons Of Industrious habits and small means
to acquire a comfortable independence in few
years.
Chicago is now the greatest grain market in
the world, and the facility and economy with
which the products of these lands can be trans
ported TO that market make them much more
profitable, at the prices asked, than those more
remote at government rates, as the cost of
transportation is perpetual tax on the latter,
which must be borne by the producer in the re-
duced price he receives for his grain, &c
The Title is Perfect, and when the final paw
ments made, Deeds are executed bv the
Trustees appointed by the State, and in whom
the title is vested, TO the purchasers, which con-
vey to them absolute titles in Fee Simple, free
and clear Of every incumbrance, lien or mort
gage.
