I'arni Lands for Sale
The Illinois Central Railroad Company
IS NOW PREPARED TO SELL
Over Two Millions of Akres
- OF FARMING LANDS, -
IN TRACTS OF 40 ACRES AND UPWARDS, ON
LONG CREDITS AND AT LOW RATES OF INTEREST.
WHESE lands were granted by the Govern
ment, to aid in the construction of this
Railroad. and include some of the richest and
most fertile Prairies in the State, interspersed
here and there with magnificent groves of oak
and other• umber. The Road extends from
Chicago, on the North-East, to Cairo •at the
South, and from thence to Galena and Dutdeith,
in the North-west extreme of the State, and as
all the lands lie within fifteen wiles on each
side of this Road, ready and cheap means are
afforded by it for transporting the products of
the lands to • any of these points and from thence
to Eastern and Southern markets. Moreover,
the rapid groWth of flourishing towns and vil
lages.along the line, and the great increase in
population by immigration, etc., afford., a sub
stantial and growing hove-demand fur farm
produce. •
The soil is a dark; rich mould, from one to
five feet in-depth, is gently robing and peculiar
ly fitted for grazing cattle and 'sheep, or the
cultivation of Wheat, Indian corn, etc. '
Economy in cultivating and great produc
tiveiffSs are the well known characteristics of
Illinois lands. Trees are not required to he
cut down, stumps grubbed, or stone picked off*,
as issenerally the case in cultivating new land
in the older States. The first crop of Indian
Corn, planted on-the newly broken sod, usually
repays the cost of plowing and fencing.
‘Vileat sown on the newly-turned sod is sure
to yield very LAitGi,.; PROFITS. A man with a
plow and two yoke of oxen will break one and
a half to two acres per day. Contiacts can be
made for breaking; ready for corn or wheat, at
from $.2 to 2,50 per am e. By judicious lua,n
ri,vernent, the land may be plowed and fenced
the first, and under a mud STATE OF CULUVA
TION the second year.
"Corn, grain, cattle, etc., will .he forwarded
at reasonable rates - to Chicago, fbr the Eastern
market, and to Cairo for the _Southern. The
larger yield on - the cheap lands of Illinois o%er
the high-priced lands in the Eastern and Mid
dle States, is known to be much inure than
Sufficient to pay the difference of transportation
to the Eastern market.
Bituminous coal is mined at several points
along the Road, and is a cheap and desirable
fud. It can . be delivered at several points
along the - Road at $1,50 to $4,00 per ton ;
Wocid can be had at the same rates per cold..
Those who think of settling in lowa or Min
nesota, should bear ia wind, that lands there,
of any value, along the water courses and for
many miles inland. have been disposed of ;
that for those located in the interior, there are
no conveniences for transporting the produce
to tuatket, Railroads not having been intro
duced there. That to send the produce of these
lands, one or two hundred miles by wagon to
market, would cost much more than the ex
pense of cultivating them.; and hence, Govern
ment lands thus situated,' at $1,25 per acre,
are not so good. investments as the land of this
company at the prices fixed.
'Fhe - s - anie - remark - S. - Thad - goo3in relation to
laud; in Kansas and Nebraska, for although
-ant lands may be liamd nearer the water
the distance to market is far greater,

-lands . are carried either in wagons, or inter
rupted- water communications, increases the
expenses of transportation, which twist be
borne by. the settlers, in the reduced price of
their products ; and to that extent precisely
are the incomes from their farms, and of course
on their investments, annually and every year
reduced.
The great fertility of the lands now offered
for sale by this company, and their consequent
vteld over those of the Eastern and Middle
States, is much more than sufficient to pay the
differetpie in the cost of transportation, e sp e cial.

annual in The first to become due
in two years from the dale of contract, and the
others annually thereafter. The last payment
will become due at the end of the sixth year
from the date of the contract.
17 - Interest will 'be charged at only TUREE
per cent. per annum. As a security to the
pet formance of the contract. the first two years'
interest must be paid in advance, and it must
be understood that at least one tenth of the
land purchased shall -yearly be brought under
cultivation. Twenty per cent. from the cr e dit
price will be deducted for cash. The Com
pany's construction bonds will be received as
cash.
Fr7READY FRAMED FARM BUILDINGS, which
can be set up in a few days. can be obtained
from responsible persons. They will be 12
feet by 20. feet, divided into one living and
t h ree b e d-rooms, and will cost complete set up
on ground chosen anywhere along the Road,
Sl5O in cash, exclusive of transportation.—
Larger buildings may be contracted for at pro
portionate rates.
Special arrangements with dealers can be
made to supply those purchasing the Company's
lands with fencing materials, agricultural tools,
and an out lit of provisions in any quantity, at
the LOWEST WITOLESA.LE PRICES.
It is believed that the price, long credit,
and low rate of interest, charged for these
lands, will enable a man with a few hundred
dollars in - cash and ordinary im:ustry, to make
himself independent before all the purchase
money becomes due. In the mean time, the
rapid settlement of the country will probably
have increased their value four or five fold.—

f $1 per week. or at the same "rate monthly,
Farms of 50, 75, 100, or more acres adjoin-
J 1 g in proportion.' Each Farm fronts upon s
road thirty feet in width.
Th e soil is a rich limestone loam, and es
pecially atin pted tb cultivation, asitls neither
hilly nor stony. but gently rollinr , or fine table
land. Around and through this property
thereoare already some 20.000 acres under cul
tivation, and its fertility has been established
from the crops produced. Upon this subject
it is easy to be fully satisfied. There is a
ready cash market for produce which is much
better than trade. It is the • •
Cheapest, as land of a similar quality is
selling at much higher prices adjoining, and
especially such as contains coal.
Cool.—This in particular is the Coal
District, several veins underlaying the whole -
property, and the, attention of miners, and
those acquainted with coal lands, is specialty
called to it. It has the advantage-of being the
nee/res./ to the' great lake nrrketi----with which
it will be connected by the Sunbury and Erie
Railroad now under contract and in course of
completion from Erie to Ridgeway,- - with de
scending grade the whole way. The soil over
bituminous coal is the best, for instance Eng
land and other countries. The price per acre
is trifling for the coal alone, as it will certain
ly, in so favorable a locations within a short
time pay -largely. This is important as an
immense coal trade will soon open. Four coal ,
companies have 'already been started to work
mines in the vicinity, and there are now fifteen
openings around St. Mau's.
The Timber, Stockholders also receive.—.
There is no reservation whatever either of tim
ber or coal. It is very valuable, and will pay
for a great part of the land. On account of the
excellence of streams, there are fine opportuni
ties for mills.
For Health, the location is much recommend
ed by Physicians. The chills and fevers are
unknown, also pulmonary complaints, being
protected from the north east winds by the-Ar
leghenies. The water is pure, and amongst
the best, the land abounding in fine springs.
Four Railroads will shortly be completed,
connecting it by a direct communication with
New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Erie,
Buffalo, and all the cities on the Lakes. They
are the Sunbury and Erie, the Allegheny Val
ley, the Pittsburg and Buffalo, and the Venan
go. Energetic exertions are also being made
for the building of the Tyrone and Clearfield.
which also passes through this property. The
effect of this upon trade, and general develop
ment, as well as the coal, may be imagined.
The large and flourishirig town of St. Mary's
is in the centre of the tract, numbering, near
3.000 inhabitants. It has Hotels, good iinhlie
-schools, saw and grist, mills. stores, well stock
ed and every thing desired. There are 235
half acre lots in the town of St., Mary's, which
will be sold and the proceeds equally divided
amongst those who buy farms. Ridgeway, the
county seat, where an extensive -business is ,
done, adjoins the tract on the west. The whole
district is intersected by good tuinpike, and
other roads.
This is a rare opportunity offered to these
who wish to farm or have a good investment
for the future. By making proper inquiries,
and considering the advantages of good soil,
an abundance of coal, healthfulness of climate.
Railroad facilities, and its location, a correct
judgment may be formed of its , present advan
tages and ultimate increase.
By writing to the office directions will be
given td those who wish to visit the land. A
system of excursions will shortly be adopted.

This is to certify that, having been over the

Company, and given it a thorough examination,
we find the representations of that Company
to be correct. We find the snit to be the most.
fertile—the Coal and Iron Ore to lie in inex
haustible quantities, through the whole dis

intelligence and prosperity of the people to be
of the most gratifying character. We kno'
that there is no healthier location in the State,
and we consider it a most desirable place of
settlement.
We make this declaratio% --- as — we — helieN
there may be many persons who are unac

from our knowledge of the subject, that infor
