of the Mississippi river, less than oo
miles south OF 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 a town will be plated;
by January / trains will be running
on this road, in a 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
large mill and elevator.
2,7OO acres Of this land is covered
with very choice hardwood timber;
the timber can be marketed Tor more
than sufficient to pay for clearing the
land and preparing 1t for cultivation.
When cleared 1t 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 1t desirable
property to cut up into small farms
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

railroads, steam boats, social and 9TH
er privileges Of an old, well-estab-
lished 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 tropi-
cal heat of the southern sLates--no
terrible blizzards such as we suffer
from in the north and no malaria
fever such as the people suffer from
in the south. It's 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 persevering 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 oil 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.

ported by the people who buy these
farms. We expect to sell the land In

continue To- rise In value every year
We want some of this land for our
