contains about 300 »‘Mci’CS, every a
ere of which is arable, and lies well for
. cultivation ; about one-half cleared and' i
in fine order; the other heavily tim
bered land. I here is a sufficiency o9
meadow land on it fora farm of thcsiac,,
aud several nercr failing springs, so sit
uated as to afford water in nearly every
field. The improvements- are tolerable.* I
The neighborhood around it is healthy
and agreeable.
As it is presumed that any one dis-- J
posed to purchase wHI view it and judge
ior himself, a* further description is- i
deemed unnecessary ; but I w ill just add,
that faking into*view every advantage
ibis Farm possesses, it is seldom that it«r
equal is-in this-delightful county, offer- *
ed for safe. I
The land wiW be shown to any one
(fesirou* of vsewing it, by Dr. Wm. R.
Blair, whose residence is adjoining, op
by Mathew Blair, of Staunton, by
whom the terms will be made known.
Possession wifi be given immediately.
