l have large body of as rich land as there is in the world that I will sell in small lots on long time and at low rate of interest to poor men. I don't want to sell one man moro than he can pay for, therefore, think it would be best for no one if he is poor to buy more than 40 acres. Twenty acres of land like this, we'll improved, would be valuable asset for any one.
 I will sell on such terms that the land can be paid for with less annual payments, than is now being paid for the rent of good land. have just fin ished draining this land; have about all of it fenced, some of it cleared and all deadened. Any one buying it would have to bind themselves to make certain improvements each year. I would only require the payment of the interest for the first four or five years.
