you. All the Democratic lawyers in the
canvass Of 1868 proclaimed that the home

and yet the Repu5 icnn Supreme Court held
that it was Thus, and thus alone, you
have your little homes for yourselves and
children. If you call Convention, es-

The object of this enterprise SINCE its rcn-
now nearly two years, has been and
will continue 10 be TO induce Immigration 10 our
8 tate and To turn the tide from the great West
to our sunny South also to call tiIcr attention
to the superior advantages and in.incchehis We
hold out over al! other States. 81 gi41L
Now being the season OF the year when iarmers
and others have leisure TO traysi. and many are
visiting our State, examining farms with view OF
purchasing to come and make their homes with
us, we would particularly request all land own
ers who have land to sell or le,se, aud wisn 10
find buyers for the same to call at our Office or
address US as below. There is carcely day gocs
by but what we receive letters making inquiry,
and as it costs nothing to try to sell through this
Agency, and SO many are anxious to md custo
mers that all can avail themselves Of this OPP
portunity OF offering tor sale land OF every kind.
Our charges being only taoo.aftd one ha.f per cent
on gross apaount Of sales, for advertising. and all
other expenses Included aud this only rlen sale is
perfected. Many, know, have delicacy In Oh
fering their lands, as they do not wish th,ir
neighbors to know that their property is on the
Market. This is preventedIin our Office, moi
formation given unless we know the parties to
be buyers, and We, do not advertise any farms or
lands within the State unless request to 90 so.
have been trying and making every effort since
came here two years ago, TO, induce our land
owners to divide their large tracts, and sell one
hall or more to energetic men, with money, az
reasonable price, and on easy terms, to enable
them to improve the part they bought. Some
have taken my advice, aud now the ohe-hah IL
worth more than the whole was eighteen months
ago. This is the true course to be pursued, as
but very few buyers from the Northern States
want more than from one hundred to three hun
dred acres in farm, and will give morein pro
portion for such TRACTS than, they viii Tor The
large plantations OF one thousand and two thou
sand acres. II you want to encourages immigra-
tion, send us part OF your lands for sale, that
we may offer such inducements as will bring
