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 25,0110 square miles, or 
SIXTEEN MILLION ACRES, as desirable as any in the 
valley of tlie Mississippi. Through this garden of Missouri 
the Hannibal* St. Joseph Railroad extends, and all its lands 
lie near its track and numerous depots. Tlie 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 oji 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.
