Fine Plantation For Sale.
I am offering the “Adams” plantation of 1349 acres 7 miles
from Americus and two and half miles from Huntington for
sale. This is one of the finest places in Sumter county and
big money can be made farming this place or it could easily be
rented for 60 bales of cotton, with some little improvements.
This,place joins the T. B. Hooks plantation, and is a dandy.
Come quick and get a bargain.
I have farms and plantations of all sizes. Come to see me
and get some of these land bargains. Cash or terms to suit
