i-Mr. II. D. McCulloch left for Wisconsin
fes? days ago. Before leaving he bought all Of
III Hopkins estate except the homestead. His
p@fchase embraces over nine hundred acres of
desirable land just beyond LeContevie, and we
leSfn that he proposes to cut il up into small
utsts, and erect buildings on each tract, or sell
offy to those who will make Improvements and
reside thereon. He will make the figures reason
aGle and the terms very easy. This is move in
tfse right direction, and we predict that his ex-
patience in this new departure in the fine hill
sex:ton of Middle Florida will be the means of
iLTtucing others to try the experiment We
kGnw several who have this season hestated to
busy land because they could not get places with
Buildings ready for occupancy. Mr. McCullochs
enterprise will meet the wants of a very desira-
E'a class of purchasers and we believe his lands,
weh comfortable buildings on them, will be pre-
fesfed TO unimproved places.

slipped into the popular gents furnishing house
