The Ashland union. [volume] (Ashland, Ashland County, Ohio) 1854-1868, 1860-01-18

An old estate consisting of several thousands Of
acres of productive soil, has been divided into Farm:
of various sizes to suit the purchaser. A population
of some Fifteen Hundred, from various parts of the
Middle States and New England, have settled there
the past year, improved their places and raised ex-
cellent crops. The price of the land is at the low
sum of from SIS. to $50 per acre, the soil is of the
best quality for the production of Wheat, Glover,
Corn, Peaches, Grapes and Vegetables. TITS CON
SIDERED THE BEST FRUIT SOIL IN THE
UNION. The place is perfectly secure from frosts
the destructive enemy of the Farmer. Crops of
grain, grass and fruit are now growing and can be
seen. By examining the place itself, a correct
judgment can be formed of the productiveness of the
land. The terms are made easy to Secure rapid
Improvement. The result has been that within the
past year, some three hundred houses have been
erected, two mills, one steam. four stores, some for
y vineyards and peach orchards planted, and a large
number of other improvements, making it q desira-
BILE and active place of business.
THE MARKET,
as the reader may perceive from its location, is
THE BEST IN THE UNION,
Produce being double the price than in locations
away from the city, and more than double the price
in the West. Iii is known that the earliest and best
fruits and vegetables in this latitude come from New
Jersey, and are annually exported to the extent of
millions.
In locating here the settler has many advantages.
He is within a few hours ride of the great cities of
New England and Middle States, he is near his old
friends and associations, he is in a settled country
where every improvement and comfort is at hand
He can buy every article he wants at the cheapest
price, and sell his produce for the highest, lin the
west this is reversed, } he has schools for his children,
divine service, and will enjoy an open winter ap9
delightful climate, where fevers are utterly unknown.
The result of the change mon those from the north
has generally hcen to restore them to an excellent
state 9. nealth.
can be obtained at the mills at the rate of. SO to
SIS per thousand. Bricks from the brick yard
opened in the place, every article can be procured
in the place, good carpenters are at hand, and there
is no Dlace-iQ the Union where buildinpS and i'm
prevements can be made cheaper.
The reader will at once be struck with the advan-
tages here presented, and ask himself why the prop
erty has not been taken up before. The reason is,
it was never threwn in the market; and unless these
statements were correct, no one would be invited to
examine the land before purchasing. This all are
expected to do. They will see land under cultiva-
ton, such is the extent of the ettlcment. that they
will no doubt meet persons from their own neigh
borhood; they will witness the improvements, and
can judge the character of the population. If they
come with a view to settle, they should come prepar-
ed to stay q day or two and be ready to purchase,
as locations cannot be held on refusal.
There are two daily trains to Philadelphia and to
all settlers who improve, THE RAILROAD COMPANY
GIVES A FREE TICKET FOR SIX MONTHS. AND A HALF
PRICE TICKET FOR THREE YEARS.
THE TOWN OF HAMMONTON.
In connection with the agricultural settlement, a
new and thriving town has naturely arisen, which
presents inducements for any kind of business, par
ticularly stores and manufactures. The shoe bust
ness could be carried on in this place and market to
good advantage, also cotton business, and manufac-
tories of agricultural implements, or foundries for
casting small articles. The improvement has been
so rapid as to insure a constant and permanent in
crease of business. Town lots eff a good size, we
do not sell small ones, as it would affect the improve
ment of the place, can be had at from 500 and ur-
wards.
