A Scheme to Give Every Man a Farm, by a Person Who is Land Poor. i < Mn. ton ok : Some years ago 1 took an ' idea that land was the safest investment i that a man could make in Georgia, and as ■ a consequence, I am now land poor; have more than I can profitably make use of, ' and consequently want to get rid of some, ‘ or ail of it, and I have decided to adopt the following measure to get rid of it: I will say,in the first place, that the land is the best in Monroe county, is fine ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best for 1 cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains in the county. There are a number of tenant houses on the place, and a horn* recently built that cost me over $3,000 to build. The land, in the first place, cost me from $25 down to $4 per acre—saying altogether, about $lO per acre, without improvements ; and to get rid of it, 1 will average the whole place at $lO per acre, in the following way : I will have the entire place, 1,600 acre.", sub-divided inti) 50-acrc lots, at $lO per acre, giving more than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and less than 50 to another, according to his I ability to pay for it, as the case may be, the entire quantity tobi drawn for. In other words, the number of lots and quantity of land to be put in a bat or box, and drawn out under approval of a com mittee of gentlemen, at s<>me stated time, so that all shall have a Gir chance to get a home at a low price, a; -1 no -me has a chance of losing their m >n< ■, ( r failing to get their value, as pail, i.t; i - -me get a farm at faf less than cost The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city I of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is I adapted to market gardening, and I r northern people who know how to work, it offers a fine opportunity for a colony of energetic citizens. It is all t igetber, and would make a fine settlement,having the best of pastures, : water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is I timbered with hickory, lieaeh, oak and pine, and some cedar ; in fact, it is the best I nlace I kn.>w of. and 1 am satGtif'<l the ed itor of the C ALL will vouch for what 1 say. I would be glad to have any parties who me m business, to go over the plantation, familiarize themselves with the advan tages, and communicate with me at Barnesville, liefi re going into the matter, i assuring them that I mean what I say. j I have also a farm of 50 acres near j Barnesville for sale, on good terms. In addition to the terms offered above, I have concluded to make the terms of pay : ment in four annual payments without : interest, which is tantamount to putting i the price of the land very low. The I titles to the land have been in the p<om>s- I sion ot one or two parties for years, and ; have never been questioned an I are as go>d as gold. 8. B.
