JAMES RIVKH FARM I Oil BALK On lilt- 8d
day ol December next, I will sell by auction, »i the

Land, on tbe opposite side ol the river, containing by te
cent survey, seven hundred ami lorty-four arres, viz: 49
ol lotv ground* ol the first quality, nearly every arre of it
fine tobacco land; 2t)!l wood land, several piece* of pillag
ed wood land, not surveyed separately, which, together
with some which i* grown up with pine, is included ill
the cleared land. The high land m xt to (lie river is very
broken, and some of it much injured by injudicious culti
vation; that from the river, tailing gradually towards u
large branch, lies very well, and i* generally in good
heart, some of it pretty well taken in clover; but some ol
this is also injured and grown up with ptne. The Tinrl
is all sound, firm, improvcahlc land, with a good clay
luiiiioarion, anu wimoui uouiii line plaister bin!. I he
wood land is so distributed, that leaves and bushes lor Die
resloiaiion ol lint which is galled, are convenient to eve
ry part. A considerable portion ol the wood land is good
tobacco land. Indeed, I consider it worthy ol the atten
tion of any purchaser who wants a very healthy residence,
that can he bought lor a very moderate pi ice, in oi.e ol
the .most desirable neighborhoods in Virginia. The dwell
ing house is convenirntly planned, with live rooms, each
w ith a fire-place, am) a dry cellar also wiih a fire-place.
The house, however, ss well a* the yard and garden, is out
ol repair. The spiing ol water remarkably line. Ihe
barn very indifferent, the machine good; the stable, corn
house ami tobacco houses lor the most part new. A crop
of wheat, more than an hundred bushels, w ill be put iu, as
well as is common io the neighhoihood. Terms of pay
ment— Six equal annual instalments; the two first, secur
ed by approved peisuual security, and the whole by »
Deed in Trust ou the premises, i will, my sell, aliuw the
Land to any one desirous lo purchase, who will do me the
favor to call on me; those who may find it more conve
ni.nt, will he shewn by my fitend, Mr. John Pemberton,
adjoining,or any other neighbor who will lake that double.
At the same time and place, wi I lie sold, the slock ol
