{ For the purchase and sale of real estatei in
the Valley of Virginia and in West Virginia.
They have formed connections with reliable
business gentlemen in every county from the
Tennessee and Kentucky lines, to the Potomac
river, and also with the most prominent land
and emigration agencies in the Northern and
Eastern cities, which will give them unequal
ed advantages for the sale and purchase oflarge
tracts of land and farms in this region. This
section offers greater inducements to all desi-
ring settlement, than any other portion of the
South, on account of soil, climate and the very
small number of its colored population.
They have already large number of most
desirable farms in their hands for sale, which
are offered upon reasonable terms.
All persons desiring to sell or purchase real
estate are solicited to avail themselves of this
agency.
The following is a list of some of the lands in
their hands for sale, to which additions will be
made from time to time in Monthly Catalogues.
All of these lands will be sold upon reasonable
terms of credit, and are susceptible of conve-
nent subdivisions
