THE CINCINNATI
SOUTHERN RAILWA Y
RUNS THROUGH

The Boards large tracts of land in
Morgan and Scott Counties, nearly
dividing it into two equal parts. The
land lying east of the railway is rich
in timber and coal, as well as soil,
while on the west side there is very
desirable land for farming and
grazing; the native grasses for
nearly three-fourths of the year
being rich and nutritious. Water
is to be found in abundant quantities
through the whole of the country.
Fruit and vegetables, and especially
grapes, grow here most successfully.
The soil is particularly adapted to
grape growing, and the seasons
favorable.
The following stations on the
Cincinnati Southern are Of easy
access to the Boards lands,
.vis., Robbins, Sedgemoor, Glen
Mary, Hctmam's Switch, and
Sumdmght.
The Board has also q number of
choice building lots of large area
for sale, in the town of Rugby, and
also in the town of Sedgemoor. The
Board has recently surveyed and
laid out Sedgemoor, and is prepared
to offer liberal inducements to per-
sons settling therefor manufacturing
and busifJQs purposes. 1t is the
station for Rugby. The latter
place lies seven miles west from
Sedgemoor, and is reached by an
excellent, graded road, with a per-
fectly smooth road bed. The road
winds and curves, beautifully follow

ground, and crosses the White Oak
stream on a good, substantial Howe
