Public Notice is hereby Given.;
THAT THE i
TOWN OF ALABAMA,
Is established at the site Ten-Mile-Bluff,
on the East side of Alabama River,
where a variety of
TOWN LOTS
Will be exposed to public sale on the 3 d
Monday in October next.
THE site of the town is high and com
manding, and supposed to be one
hundred feet above the level of the water
in the river opposite to the town, and is
entirely removed from swamps, lagunes
rnd morasses. In addition tn this, the
purity of the water, the salubrity of the
pir, and the contiguity of a Mineral Spying
to the Town Spring, will ensure to its
inhabitants the most perfect health.
liLpoint of commercial advantages,
this town cannot be surpassed, as it stands
at the nearest eligible site to the head of
navigation on the Alabama river, and is
. only ten miles by land to the junction of
theCoosa and Talapoosa rivers.
The fertility of the surrounding coun
try has bean tested during the present
sales, where the Alabama bottoms have
: average ! SSO per acre, and the hickory
lands in the immediate neighbour
hood es the town, have sold from ten to
14 dollars per acre. These last lands have
long been pronounced by the late Agent
colonel Hawkins, to be the best body of
; up-land in the Creek cession, and in fact
Die 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 may
feel disposed to purchase lots.

LANDS.
THE subscriber having purchased a
considerable portion of the low
grounds on the above rivers, a great part
of which is cleared and now under culti
vation, is disposed to treat with the occu
pants, or others, as it respects the future
enjoyments of these fine bottoms,
i He therefore proposes to lease any
tract for two years from the date of the
purchase, for a consideration of twenty
five per cent, on the amount of the pur
chase money, or sell the same at the ave
rage price bought at; upon receiving
twenty-five per cent in money—the pur
chaser to make the future payments to
the government. The fertility of these
1 lands is such as to produce 100 bushels
corn to the acre, which is now worth for
the standing crop, two dollars per bushel,
and expected to continue so another
year; after which it is probable the value
will be about one dollar per bushel—the
1 lands being situated on navigable waters,
1 in the heart of a new country, second to
none for the culture of cotton, which will
■ become the staple commodity as soon as
the population is sufficient to raise surplus
produce for exportation.
1 In the neighborhood, and adjoining the
river lands, the subscriber has a number
1 of tracts of upland for settlement, which
; will be disposed of upon the same, or
■ other accommodating terms. The soon
er application is made the better, as the
price will be enhanced after the first of
' October next. Descriptions of the pro
perty may he seen at the Land-Office in
Milledgeville, or by application to the
subscriber in Augusta, Georgia.
