Missouri Lauds for Sale. 
Missouri Lands are very fertile, and situated in tlie 
heart of the Union ; they furnish an extraordinary opportu¬ 
nity for the people of tlie Northern States to acquire cheap, 
healthful, and productive farms. This can never occur 
again so near tlie centre of population. 
.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 and St. Joseph Railroad extends, and all its lands 
he 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 tlie cold and bleak North to settle on our rich prairies, 
AH sire 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.

our Railroad Lands, Is sold at thirty cts. Address
