The independent., 1903-12-10

We have in view tract OF 1900
acres of land in body, on the bank
of the Mississippi river, less than SO
miles south CT st. Louis. A new rail-
road Is being built through the prop
erty; depot, coal sheds, ETC., are now
in course Of construction on this
land. where town will be plated;
by January trains will be running
on this road, in direct route from
st. Louis to Memphis. AT present
there is on this land an important
boat landing, where all boats plying
on the Mississippi river stop. also a
large mill and elevator.
200 acres Of this land is covered
with very. choice hardwood timber;
the timber can be marketed for more
than sufficient to pay for clearing the
land and preparing it for cultivation.
When cleared it is worth more than
any Nebraska land
The close proximity of this land to
the city of st. Louis, the Worlds faIr
city. and its accessibility both by
rail and water, makes it desirable
property to cut up into small iarlns--
truck farms, poultry farms, fruit
farms, dairy farms, etc. Under our
option we can sell this land for about
$12 per acre, with easy terms TO pur-
chaser.
To those who desire to make good,
cheap homes for themselves and fam
lilies, surrounded by all the advantages
and comforts of schools, churches,
railroads, steam boats, social and 9TH
er privileges of an old, well-estab-
Iished community, where good lands
can be obtained really below their
actual value, this proposition will be
interesting.
Missouri is the best located OF all
the states. 1t lies midway between
the north and south, the east and the
west 1t has none of the extreme cold
OF the northern states, nor the lropl-
cal heat of the southern sLates-no
terrible billiards. such as we suffer
from in the north and no malaria
fever such as the people suffer from
in the south Its soil is productive
and the climate ideal Nowhere can
be found a greater variety OF avenues
to remunerative industry, competency
and wealth. We invite the honest, the
industrious and the perseyerlns to IN
vestigate this land.
Missouri fruit crops surpass those
of Florida. South Missouri is the land
of the big red apple. Missouri mules
and horses are finer than those OF
Kentucky In the production ol poul-
try she leads the world. 1t is the
land of wild grasses and the adopted
home Of the blue grass.
In agriculture, Missouri is the gar
den. spot of the universe.
The rich valley of the Mississippi
river is only surpassed by that OF the
Nile. where the land has been farmed
since several thousand years before
Christ; the Mississippi river land
grows richer every year 1t is farmed
and will never wear out.
BUY HOMES.
We want to buy this land and cut
1t up into small farms-truck gardens
fruit farms, grain farms, etc. and
sell 1t out at very low prices. We
want to colonize this land with the
very best citizens of Nebraska; make
a town that will be owned and sup
ported by the people who bus these
farms. We expect TO sell the land In
tracts from to 40 acres and larger
as the purchaser desires. The day ths
land is settled II will be worth dou'
BILE the price paid for IL II you want
to put II on the market. AS the sol
never loses Its productiveness II will
continue To rise In value every year
We want some OF this land for our
selves, but In order to get II we musi
