FOR SALE. 
H AVING determined to remove West, I offer for sale my RE- 
SIDENCE in the immediate vicinity of Columbus, and my 
PLANTATION in Russell county, Ala. 
The former is a handsome and commodious building, containing 
ten rooms, besides basement, store and ironing rooms. The 
outbuildings are well arranged for comfort and convenience. At- 
tached to the residence aro twenty acres of land, in fine cultivation, 
with a position on the main road, sufficient for one or more build- 
ing lots. The healthfulness of the locality is nnsurj)assod. 
My Plantation is 15 miles west of Columbus, on Uchee Ci'eek, 
and 5 miles from the Mobile & Girard Railroad, and contains 
2,600 acres. My success in making cotton is the best criter- 
ion of its claims upon the purchaser. Being susceptible of subdi- 
vision into three or four farms, some of which have improvements, 
I will sell all together or in separate settlements to suit purchasers. 
If desirable, I will sell the growing crop with the land, arranging 
for the overseer to remain with the hands to gather the crop under 
the direction of the purchaser. 
In my absence, any one wishing to see my house and lot, can ap- 
ply to my neighbors, Mr. Wm. A. Redd, A. C. Flcwellen, or W. E. 
Jones. J. R. JONES.
