Valuable Lands for Sale In Newberry District. fJTHE Subscriber offers for sale that well JL known tract of Land known -as HENDER SON'S ISLAND, containing four hundred and forty Acres, more or less, with about two hundred and twenty acres cleared, and in a high state of cultiva tion. As a Cotton Plantation, it is equal to any in the District ; and equal to any in the State for grain. The subscriber has sufficiently tested the health of the Island, having planted it for the last six or eight years, and*resided himself on it all the time : his ne groes have been as healthy as on any plantation in the same latitude in the State, and he has not had to pay one hundred dollars for doctor's bill during the time. The improvements are such as are common on plantations ^ a good gin-house and screw, negro houses, and overseer's house. That portion of jhe forest land on the island, with the exception of a very small part, is equal to any in the Slate.
