A THREE MILLION ACRE SALIS. (ioveriunont Disposing of Oklahoma La mis ut Public Auctlou. Ardmore, Okla., Deo. 3.-Editor Keoweo Courier: No doubt thor? arc many people^ in South Carolina and Oconeo county who do not know that thoro ia to be a salo at auction of nearly three million acres of land, to Hie highest bidder and on easy terms, in tho eastern and southern portions of tlie State of Oklalioma. This land will be bought for from ono to six dollars per acre, with 25 per cent cash, balance In one and two years* timo. The same grade of land offered for sale here would soil for from $25 to $50 per aero in South Carolina. This land will bo sold in tracts of from 10 to 160 acres. These lands aro put on salo by tho United States government, which guarantees a perfect title to same, and will be Bold from the 19th to 31st of December at Ardmore, Ok lahoma. I am in a position to show theso unallotted lands to any ono who may want to locate Ii? this country. To show tho quality of some of tlie lands for salo I will say that I have rented from tho government, for agricultural purposes, and paid as rent 15 cents per acre and rented lt out for the fourth of cotton and received for rent of same between live and seven dollars per acre with out the use of any fertilizer. In fact, there is not a sack of fertilizer used in tho State of Oklahoma for any purpose. Now is the lime for tho young man, the old man, tile single man, the married man or any other kind of a man who wants to buy a farm for about one-fourth what you would have to pay in South Carolina, on one and two years' time, that will m ike a third more colton to the acre without fertilizer than the lands in Oconeo county with fertilizer, to come lo Oklahoma and bo on tho ground for the purpose of buying some of these lands from tho 19th to tho 'Hst day of December.
