| IL was founded September Sth. 1865. forty
| two years previous to the settlement of james
town, Va, and itty-llye years before the land

/ name IT. Augustine was given to the llace by
! the SpamidTus, because they landed upon the
day dedicated TO that revcrCd and learned
Saint. st. Augustine is growing rapidly. be-
are being extended toward il, and it is now
known as the HOTEL CITY or FLORIDA.
Inc pruprlctoiS aud owners of THE Illus
TEhlED SOUTHERN WORLD, a sixteen page
weekly Illustrated paper same size as llar-
pcfs weekly, noting the great progress being
made IN the ANCIENT CITY, purchased a
| large tract OF land near St Augustine, from
Alr. VIM. Astor, OF New York. immediately
on the line OF the st. Johns Railway, which is
also owned by Mr.. AstOr, and in the midst of
this tract and within two hundred feet of the
railroad, have planted in plot of 700 acres
the city of WEST Sr. AUGUSTINE.
FROM WEST ST. AUGUSTINE there exists

In addition to this, the tract on which is
located the city of WEST ST. AUGUSTINE is
much higher in altitude than either St. Atl-

ands are looking with longing eyes and It is
now made possible through the enterprise of
tue proprletors and owners OF THE Illus
rRATED SOUTHERN WORLD, for all to secure
HOME in that delightful State FREE.
Many Will no doubt wonder how it is posi-
bic for any one to ABSOLUTELY GIVE AWAY

yet the reasons, when explained are yery
simple Adjacent 10 the lands upon which is
located the city of WEST ST. AUGUSTINE, the

SOUTHERN WORLD own other lands which
they no doubt expect Will greatly enhance in
value, these lands will be by them divided in
plots of FIVE TEN and FIFTEEN acres, and
sold as the value increases, which. as the lots |
are taken will be very rapid. they also have
in view a desire to induce subscribers to he |
come actual settlers in the state and at the |
