1t has been decided by the Execu-
tors Of the Estate of r. Fl. Allen to
offer for sale the Rienzi Plantation,
after the usual notices and advertise
ments. The terms have been fixed at
fity-five thousand dollars as the lowest
limit, the purchaser to pay fifteen
thousand dollars cash and to secure
the remainder by vendors privilege
and special mortgage on the property
sold. This is a splendid opportunity
for capitalists to buy the property and
establish a central factory upon its
front. There is no better site anywhere
in The State than Rienzi for a central
factory. In the interests Of the town
and of the parish We sincerely hope
that 1t will he purchased by people
who will inangurate the central factory
idea in our Immediate vicinity.
