Missouri Lands for Sale.' 
Missouri Lauds arc very fertile, and situated in the 
heart of the Union ; they furnish an extraordinary opportu- 
nity for the people of the Northern States to acquire cheap, 
healthful, and productive farms. This can never occur 
again so near the centre of population. 
North Missouri contains about 25,000 square miles, or 
sixteen million acres, as desirable ns any in the valley 
of the Mississippi. Through this garden of Missouri the 
Hannibal and 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 ou our rich prairies. 
All arc 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, arc'sitpplied gratis to all wishing to conic 
themselves, or to circulate to induce others to come also.
