The Ashland union. [volume] (Ashland, Ashland County, Ohio) 1854-1868, 1860-02-29

An old estate consisting of several thousands Of,
acres of productive soil, has been divided into Farms
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-
ccllent crops, The price of the land is at the low
sum of from Sl5 to $50 per acre, the soil is of the
best quality for the production of Wheat, Glover,
Corn. Peaches, Grapes and Vegetables. IT'S CON-
SIDERED THE BESt FRUIT SOIL IN II
UNION. The place is perfectly secure from frosts
tho destructive enemy of the Farmer. Crops of
grain, grass and fruit are now growing and can be
seen by examining the place itself, o correct
judgment can be formed of the productiyeness of the
land The terms are made easy to secure rapid
Improvement. The result has been that within The
past year, somc. three hundred houses have been
erected, two mills, one.s.eam, four stores, some for
y vineyards and peach orchards planted, anda large
number of other improvements, making it a desira-
BILE and active place of business.
TIFF 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 moro than double the price
in the West. It's 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 n few hours ride of the great cities Of
New England and Middle States, he is near his old
friends and associations, he is in n settled country
where every improvement and comfort is at hand
He can buy every article lie 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 m open winter and
delightful climate, Wherefeyers arc utterly unknown.
Tho result of tho change upon those from the north
has generally been to restore them to an excellent
state of health.
In the way of building and improving. lumber
can be obtained at the mills at the rate of $40 to-
SIS per thousand. Bricks from the brick yard
opened in the place, every article can be procured
III the place, good carpenters are at hand. and there 8 ,
is no place in tire Uaion where buildings and i'm
proyements can be made cheaper.
The reader will at once be struck with the advan-
tages here + resented, and ask himself why the prop
eriy has. not been taken up before. The reason is,
it was never thrown in the market and unless these
statements were correct, no ono would be invited to
examine the land before purchasing. This all are
expected 10 do. They will see land under culfiva-
ton, such is the extent of the settlement. 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 a 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 AHALF-
PRICE TICKET FOR THREE YEARS.
THE TOWN OF HAMMONTON.
In connection with the agricultural settlement, a
new and thriving town has nafurely arisen, which
presents inducements for any kind of business, par
licularly stores and manufactures. The shoe bust
ness could be carried on in this place and market to
good advantage, also cotton business, and mnRufac-
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 of q 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 up-y
wards. ev arEei rs l37sf nflacst
