VALUABLE REAL ESTATE
FOR
Sale or Rent.

Having concluded to DISPOSE OF the
following real estate, l offer for sale
or rent, my valuable farm. known as
the "Fosque Farm" beautifully sit
uated in Bells Neck OH Machipungo
Greek, which leads through Hog
Island Inlet into the Atlantic ocean,
containing one hundred and fifty
acres of most desirable. fertile and
profitable upland, admirably adapt
ed to the growth of all crops cultiva-
ted in the Temperate Zone, and
seventy-five acres of the very best
salt and fresh pasture land. This
farm is improved by a neat and COM
Portable residence, ample to accom-
modate a large family, with all nec-
essary farm buildings in good condi-
ton. In addition to its pleasant,
healtbful and beautiful situation, it's
fertile land, with it's splendid admix-
ture of clay and sand in its soil-its
vast and boundless resources for i'm
provement--this farm has the best
oyster planting shore and grounds
in Tidewater Virginia, with any
quantity of small and large seed oys-
tiers belonging to 1t, sufficient to seed
and reseed the oyster grounds for all
time. Adjacent and belonging to it
are two beautiful little Islands with
their pearly white sand shores, which
are most inviting for bathing and
comfort-one of which has on it a |
nice little residence for oyster plant.
ers, costing about four hundred dol
lars. The sea drift and eel grass
which continually accumulate on the |
shores of the farm from the ocean |
and Machipungo Creek possess great T
fertilizing properties for all crops and
sweet potatoes.
Wild fowl, CLAIMS, oysters and fish
are in abundance. Rarely indeed is
such desirable and profitable farm
offered for sale-combining all the
elements of pleasure, sport, comfort
and profit in such prominent de-
gree. l deem IL unnecessary to say
more as persons wishing to purchase
DR. rent will desire to visit the prem
ses and examine for themselves.

Morgan's office in order to show his

expensive anything is the more easily

time ago, according to a story that Is
vouched for by man who has been in
the book business for 20 years. the
widow of a well known English artist
wrote to Mr.. Morgan offering to dis
pose Of all the paintings. sketches. ETC..
