' . x ■.»• ...’ihfii** * 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. ‘ John Scott, Milleclgeville, Ga.

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.
