Ashtabula county Is one Of the largest
counties in the State consisting OF 2S
townships, embracing nearly 800 square
miles and is the northeast corner county in
the State. The dividing ridge between the
waters Of Lake Erie and the Ohio River
passes through it, dlaining the southern
townships into the Ohio River and the
northern part Of the county into Lake Erie
consequently the situation is as high as
any part of the State, which ensures mild
and healthy climate.
Jefferson, the county seat Of Ashtabula
county, near which much Of the land adver-
tised in this list, is located, is village OF
over 1000 inhabitants. 1t is eautifully
laid out with wide streets and an elevation
which slopes every side. The county build
ings are good. The Town Hall is one OF
the finest in the State, The High School
is of wide reputation, and students are pre-
pared at it to enter college, A railroad
passes through it which gives close con-
nection with Cleveland, Buffalo, Pittsburg,
Oil City, etc. Another road passes within

Ashtabula County, in which most of the
farms are situated is as healthy county as
any in the United States; and as for pro-
ducing, we challenge east or west to beat
US on any crops our county is adapted to.
1t is best adapted to dairying and grazing;
sheep do admirably well; though we chal-
lenge any county to beat us in wheat, oats
and corn; but farmers make their money
by stock and dairy so much easier than by
grain raising that the grain raising is
somewhat neglected. Our county is we'll
adapted to fruit being located on the lake,
consequently free from frost. Any person
wishing to know more particulars about
any farm in the list, can write us concern
ing it, referring to the particular number,
which questions will be answered prompt
ly. Come on, all Of you who wish to buy
farms, and make an examination. We am
sure we can suit you both in farm and price,
