N
In consequence OF business engagements in
another State. which will require my personal
attention, offer for sale privately, my farm
lying three miles North of Staunton, and
about quarter of mile East of the Valley
Turnpike. The tract is part of the old Wayt
Bell farm, and contains
1870 ACRES
of fine land admirably located and in high
state of cultivation. This land has long been
celebrated for it's unusual cropping qualities,
and is regarded as one of the best tracts in the
county. 1t has been greatly improved in the
past few years and is now in excellent condi-
along the entire front, and all of the cross
fences are in thorough order.

ample and in excellent repair. A young and
vigorous orchard of choice fruit will in year

mile of the finest turnpike in Virginia-just
far enough to avoid the annoyance incident to
much travelled thoroughfare, and near

would make it profitable.
