s1e4s ADVERTISEMENTS.
A LARGE BODY
Oh
VALUABLE LAND
FOR SALE.
Suitable for Corn, Cotton, Rice
or Turpentine Farms.
Its Accessibility to Market, etc.

I HAVE for sale one OF the most valuable
i bodies of land in Southern Georgia. 1t con-
sists OF about $500 acres in Bryan county. and
known as the MOUNT HOPE PLANTATION.
1t is bounded on one side by the Midway river,
a navlgable salt river, and on another side by
the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway,
which it skirts between the 18th and I'D mile
post from within quarter to one mile OF the
track.
OF this tract 1900 acres have been cleared
and planted in corn and cotton: about 600
acres reclaimed salt marsh, the balance Is up
land. The soil is remarkably fertile, produce
ing before the war bale of sea island cotton
to the acre and 40 bushels Of corn. The re-
claimed salt marsh is of a very fine order OF
land, and has been cultivated in rice, produce
ing 60 bushels per acre. As this land can be
overhoWed by salt water, il can be renewed
by rest and flowing whenever desired.
For rice culture there are three large back
waters, more than sufficient for all the differ
ent changes necessary for the Moving OF the
growing plant.
The buildings consist of large double two
story dwelling, very rOOmy. excellent barn,
large stables, and ample negro quarters. The
threshing mill, engine and boiler are Of the
most approved kind, and are in fine order.
The mill and buildings are insured for $4,000.
The bulk of the tract is virgin pine forest,
and is very valuable for naval stores, large
sum having already been offered by the tur-
pentine getters in the nelghbOrhoOd.
AS a cattale range il is considered the very
best in this part OF the country, it being esti-
mated that from 700 to 1000 head of cattle are
pastured there every year from the neigh
bOrs' stock.
There is abundance of fence stun on the
place, and from the peculiar shape of the land
it can be fenced at a comparatively small cost,
and cut off the whole or portions Of it either
for pasturage or for planting.
The main body of the land is so near the
railroad, some portions being only half mile
from the track, and within 20 miles of Savan-
nah, that it possesses peculiar advantages for
any of the kinds of business herein referred
to. 1t is estimated that 1000 cords of oak
wood can be cut from the land which can be
placed in this market at Ii small cost of trans
pOrtatiOn, either by the railroad or by water.
