MACON SALES i of tup: reserve lands, the town lots and the BRIDGE. 1 f7ILL commence on Wednesday ▼ v the first day of next October, and will continue from day to day with the exception of the first Monday and ‘Tues day of that month. We shall then ex nose to sale in Macon,to the highest bid | ler, in conformity with a late act of tin | Genera! Assembly : i All the town lots not heretofore dispos ed of; being upwards of in number; on the western side of the nver; among them are (wclw adjoining the river, and a few other choice lots for busine-s. The residue are in more re tired situations, and generally afford good building sites in a pleasant and growing ..•art of the town. Forty two gardening lots of 10 and 20 acres each ; laid out from one to one and a half miles distant from the town in two ranges around the Western Common. Also, twenty eight lots on the Eastern side ; that is to say, four of twenty, eight of ten acres, and sixteen of one aci e each. These la-t include the place sometimes known as Newtown ; and will be sold, subject to certain leases from the United 3 ates, to expire next January. The residue of the lands in the two reserves, are laid out in traits of 100 acres, and fractional parts of such tracts. Os these, the uplands will be next dfer ed ; the lowest number- first; beginning with those on the western side. Ou Wednesday the 22d of October next, a 11 o’clock, A. M. will be otiered at the place ot the other sales, the Bridge at Macon, together with one acre of land on the east ern side ol the Oemulgee river, as one of the Hutments ; and the pnviicg *of n-jitg so much ol Fifth or B. idge stuet on tin western bank as may be necessary for the other hutment of ihe Bridge. Oa I’nursday th - 23d ot October, we shall proceed to sell the Swamp & Bottom lands within the Reserves, those on the western side fir-1; continue from day to day until completed. The parti ular numbers that will b* sold on each day cannot be specified; bu* it is intended to put op the several kinds and desciiptions in the order here men- I boned. The Reserves are generally well wa ter'd, and contain several good mill seats. The area of the whole cannot be exactly kno vn until the fdalting is com pleted; but twenty-one thousand acres is the estimated quantity contained in both Reserves and the adjoining fractions* exclusive >f the town surveys. Perhaps no body of land of the same extent can be found, that embraces a greater vaiiety in its surface, sod and timber. Situated! just in that region w here the pine of the lower country changes to tlv oak antii hickory of the upper; it includes both hese growths and soils in most of their varieties; in some portions entire, iu oth ers interspersed or blended. Tracts of very hilly land, vrthat which is quite lev el, or gently undulating, rnay be had of almost every quality; either of oak and hickory, or pine, or river lands; and sev eral of tin se occasionally united in tracts ot ICO acre3, and fractions of va rious sizes, adapted to most of the pur poses tor which land is wanted. From the pressure of the times, and more especially from the quantity of lands and town lots that have been lately in the market, these must unavoidably sell low. And, lyingmt the head of naviga tion, immediately around the third town of the state in population and trade, there is every reasonable prospect of their soon rising in value. Purchasers have now an opportunity, and apparently the last that will soon of fer, ot obtaining on cheap and very indul gent terms of payment, choice situations lor residence, for trade or fi.r fanning. TERMS OF SALE. Perchasers of lands and Inis are to pay the Commissioners o.i the day of the purchase, one fifth part of the purchase money in cash or current hills of char tered Banks of this State, and the ip-idue •> four equal annual instalments. —No se curity will he required. The budge w II be sold on the same ,l 'rm>; except that tiie purchaser will be ‘ quired to give bond with two or more ipproved sureties lor the payment of the lour sub- queut annual instalments.
