MISSOURI LANDS FOR SALE. 
Missouri Lands are very fertile, and situated In the heart 
of the Union, they furnish an extraordinary opportunity to 
acquire cheap, healthful, and productive farms. 
NORTH 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 & St. Joseph Railroad extends, and all its lands 
lie near its track and numerous depots. The climate, so 
temperate and healthful, and a virgin soil, so capable of pro- 
ducing almost every kind of vegetation, invite emigrants 
from the cold and bleak North to settle on our rich prairies. 
CIRCULARS giving full and valuable particulars are sup- 
plied gratis to all wishing to go themselves or to circulate 
to induce their friends to go also. 
A SECTIONAL MAP showing exact location of all our 
Railroad lands Is sold at thirty cents. 
Address Land Commissioner Hannibal & St. Joseph R. R. 
Co., Hannibal, Missouri.

I have several thousand acres of good land for sale, which 
I offer at low prices, with good title. I will send lists of 
same on application. I will also pay the taxes on Missouri 
lands for non-residents. Address
