T HE subscriber, living six miles from Madi son, Morgan county, is anxious to sell his Land and Mills whereon he now resides, con taining 385 acres of very strong land, 68 acres cleared, a new framed dwelling house, with other convenient out houses, situated in an extensive grove, on one of the most eligible sites, within convenient distance of good spring water; and the Mills, a saw and grist mill in good repair with two pair of stones, two bolting cloths, house * iree stories high, out of the strongest framed timbers. The mill amply supports my family with bread, consisting of thirty-four persons, afl eaters ! eight horses, eighty hogs, three milch cows, two oxen, all of whicn are in good order, and are at all times dependant on tne mill for support, not having made or bought a bushel of grain since 1 owned them, and get an overplus for sale. Another capital advantage combined,, being supported in this way a person can cultivate cotton entirely; and a single individual, after making the first payment, could pay the balance with the overplus toll, as the mill gets 1500 or 2000 bushels of toll grain in the year, which I would engage at two dollars per bushel at this time. He has also another tract in Clarke coun ty for sale, containing between three and four hundred acres, within three miles of the Scull Shoals, on the Oconee river. Its fertility, healthi ness, houses, water, meadow-laud, low and high land being interspersed all over it, with pine, pop lar and hickory, all combine to make it one of the most desirable country seats I have seen in Geor gia ; 100 acres are cleared and well inclosed— The purchaser may get 50 barrels of corn on this place, with 6000 pounds of blade fodder. I will sell either of the tracts, separately, or together. Tiie one in Clarke has two settlements on it, di vided equally bv a creek—For the above proper ty cash would be preferred, yet very accommo dating terms may be had, such is my anxiety to move. C. Wells or Mr. Hardigru will shew the Clarke land, living near it. PETER PERRY. September 2. A JOURNEYMAN WANTED.
