New well, six feet in diameter, walled with brick and ce ment at back porch; 18 never fail ing springs of pure free stone water. Cedar creek runs through place for over two miles. Have bottom lands on creek worth $100 per acre, level and easy to cultivate. Have often made two fine crops a year on them of oats and corn and peas. Last year, made extra fine oats, then planted in cern in June and made extra fine corn, then sowed peas in corn when it was layed by, and made fine peas and hay; so I made three crops last year. My uplands respond to good preparation, cul ture and fertilizers. If used with three-year rotation, will improve and grew remunerative crops. Have lands that have been worked 100 years. When I bought them would take three acres to make 1 bale of cotton. Last year with 300 pounds acid, meal and kainit mixed I made 1 bale of cotton per acre. The la mented Col. Geo. I). Tillman and Dr. Jas. A. DeVore used to own the majority of these lands and both of them told me these were best nat ural cutton grit they ever saw in tbeir travels, would corre nearer making anything that prows out of the ground than most places.

Have raised successfully sheep, goats, mules ami horses. AV hen mules were cheap, I sold a 2-year old halter broke colt to a man in another county fur * 1.45. A good hoiSw-man that has been in every mule raising .-?late in the union told me he never saw a better 2-year-old anywhere. Four years ago my health failed. Feel that 1 want rest, to do nothing for a year at least, take things easy, travel some, is my motive fur selling out. There is nu rest for a man on a large plan tation. Have tried to be a gentle man farmer, wear ciean shirt, collar and cravat, rid i a fancy saddle horse. Have found the old maxim true1 That he by the plow must thrive must either hold or drive. Could always run things better by taking hold. Just show them ex actly hovv I wanted things done. Commenced to buy these lands when I was 19 years old on credit with interest. Just as I would al most get out of one thing I would jump in another, as I bought this in 5 tracts. Paid for all but one small tract when cotton was selling from 4 1-4 to 8 cents at factory, that is where sold of it then.
