^^ Illinois Lands for Sale. — 115,000 



«^^ acres, in tracts of 40, 80, 120, 160, acres, or more, to 

 suit purchasers. The lands are all first rate, and among the 

 very best in the State, and are situated in the counties most 

 densely settled, viz . Morgan, Scott, Cass, Mason, Menard, 

 Green, Sangamon, Logan, Christian, Macon, McLean 

 Woodford, and Macoupin. To actual settlers every reason- 

 able indulgence will be given as to time of payment. The 

 price from $3 to $5 per acre. 



A correspondent of one the New York papers writes, re- 

 specting this section of Illinois, as follows ; 



Bear st)wn, Cass Co., Ill, Jan. 10, 1846. 



The Riches of the iVest — Gothamites on ihe Wing. — It is 

 now six weeks since I left the city of Gotham, during which 

 time 1 have seen considerable of the Western country, and 

 I must say the beautiful prairies of Illinois far excel what I 

 had anticipated, and this country may truly be called the 

 garden of the world. There is nothing to prevent farmers 

 m this country from getting rich, as the land is the most fer- 

 tile in the world, and it will produce everything grown in 

 the vegetable kingdom. 



A New England man would hardly believe me if I would 

 tell him that some farmers here produce ten thousand bush- 

 els of corn and half as many bushels of wheat in a year, to 

 say nothing of cattle and hogs, of which some raise as many 

 as five hundred head. One farmer told me he had raised, 

 the list year, 6,000 bushels of corn, and it was all produced 

 by the labor of two men only. 



Cattle and sheep feed upon the prairies all winter, as they 

 are seldom covered with snow." 



Most of the above lands may be cultivated 100 years or 

 more without manuring, being of the richest alluvial soil. 

 The titles are indisputable and the lands will be sold at low 

 prices and in quantities to suit purchasers. Letters (post 

 paid) addressed to D. B. AYRES, Esq., of Jacksonville, 

 III., or to the subscriber, will receive prompt attention. As 

 many persons out of the State have an idea that the taxes 

 are very burdensome in Illinois, we state that they range 

 itrom $1,50 to $2,00 per annum on 80 acres of land.

 very best varieties, and properly cured. Many kinds were

 recommended as genuine and true to their kinds.
