The result has been that within the past year,
some three hundred houses have been erected,
two mills, one steam, four stores, some forty

a desirable and active place of business.

The reader will at once be struck with the ad-
vantages here presented, and ask himself why
the property has not been taken up before. The
reason is, it was never thrown 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 cultivation, such is the ex-
tcnt of the settlement that they will no doubt
meet persons from their own neighborheod; they
will witness the improvements, and can judge
the character of the population. If they come
with view to settle, they should come prepared
to stay day or two and be ready to purchase,
as locations cannot be held on refusal.

to all settlers who improve, the Railroad Com

price ticket for three gears.
