entirely removed from swamps, laguncs
lull moraasea* In addition to tbib* the
purity of the water, tne salubrity of the
air, and the contiguity of a Mineral Spring
to tlie Town Spring, will ensure to its
inhabitants the most perfect health.
In point of commercial advantages,
this town capnot be surpassed, as it stands
at the nearest eligible site to the head ol
navigation on the Alabama river, and is
only ten miles by land to the junction ot
the Coosa and Talapoow rivers.
The fertility of the surrounding coun

average 1 £SO per acre, and the hickory
lands in the ‘immediate neighbour
hood of the town, have sold from ten to
14 dollars per acre. These last lands olive
long been pronounced by the late Agent
colonel Hawkins, to be the best body of
Up-land in the Creek cession, and iulact
flic town concentrates all the good lands
embraced in the present sales.
The immense capital concentrated in
and contiguous to the town, is the surest
pledge that can be given of its success to
the various classes in society, who maj
feel disposed to i urchase lots.
