Homes in 



Old Virginia- 



It is gradually brought to light 

 that the Civil war has made great 

 changes, freed the slaves, iind in 

 consequence has made the large 

 land owners poor and finally freed 

 the land from the original owners 

 who would not sell until they were 

 compelled to do so. There are some 

 of the finest lands in the market at 

 very low prices, lands that produce 

 all kinds of crops, grasses, fruits, 

 and berries; fi.ne for stock. You 

 find green truck patches, such as 

 cabbage, turnips, lettuce, kale, 

 spinach, etc., growing all the win- 

 ter. The climate is the best all th» 

 year around to be found, not too 

 cold nor too warm. Good water. 

 Healthy. Railroads running in 

 every direction. If you desire to 

 know all about Virginia send 10c.
