FOR SALS. 
H aving detemiined to remove We.«t, I offer for sale my RE- 
SIDENCB in the immediate vicinity of Columbus, and my 
PLAN I ATION in Russell county, Ala. 
The former is a handsome andc >mm dious building, containing 
ten rooms, besi-Je-s basement, store and ironing rooms. The 
outbuildings are well arranged for comfort and conveu en<-e. At- 
tached to the resideai-e are twenty acres of land, in fine cultivation, 
wifn a p' sition on the main road, sufficient for one or more build- 
ing lots. The healthfulness of the locality is ansurpassed. 
My Planta tion is 15 miles w-est of Columbus, on Uchee .Creek, 
and 5 miles from the Mobile &. Girard Railroad, and containa 
2,6C0 acres. My success in m.aking cotton is tne best crit.'r- 
iou of irs claim-i upon the purchaser. Being susceptible of .subdi- 
vision into three o four farms, some of wh eh have improvements, 
I w'ili sell all together or in separate settlements to .suit purchasers. 
If desirable, I will sell the growing crop with the land, arranging j 
fi r the overseer to remain with the hands to gather the crop under I 
the direction of the purchaser. 
Ill .ny absence, any one washing to see my house and lot, can ap- i 
ply to my neighbors, Mr. Wm. A. Redd, A. C. Flcwelien, or 'V, r. \
