Missouri Lands for Sale. 
Missouri l-mul-; are very fertile, and situated In the 
lull r of the Union ; they furnish an extraordinary opportu- 
nity for ihe people of the Northern States to acquire cheap, 
healthful, and productive farms. This can never occur 
again so near the centre of population. 
Xortli Missouri contains about 25,000 square miles, or 
sixteen million acres, as desirable as any in the valley 
of the Mississippi. Through this garden of Missouri the 
Hannibal and fat. Joseph Railroad extends, and all its lands 
lie near it* track and numerous depots. The climate, so 
temperate and healthful, and a virgin soil bo capable of pro- 
ducing almost every kind of vegetation, invite emigrants 
from Lite cold and bleak North to settle on our rich prairies. 
All are invited ! Let the industrious and enterprising, 
rich and poor, come and prosper. They should come at once 
and preoccupy this splendid country. 
Circulars, giving full and valuable particulars in Eng- 
lish and German, are supplied gratis to all wishing to come 
themselves, or to circulate to induce others to come also. 
A Sectional Map, showing the exact location of all 
our Railroad Lauds, is sold at thirty cts. Address
