ACRES OF
CHOICE F.IRML\G LAOS
In 'I racts of 40 acres and Upwards, on Long
Credits and at Low Rates of Interest.
'PHESK lands were granted by the Govern-
X rnent to aid in the construction of this road,
and are amor>g the richest anil most fertile in
the world. They extend fiom North East and
North West, through the middle, of the Stale,
to the extreme South, and include every variety
of climate and productions found between those
parallels of latitude. The Northern portion is
chiefly prairie, interspersed with fine groves,
and in the middle and Southern sections timber
predominates, alternating with beautiful prai
ries and openings.
The climate is more healthy, mild and equa
ble, than any other part of the country—the air
is pure and bracing, while living streams arid
springs of excellent water about d.
Bituminous Coal is extensively mined, and
supplies a cheap and desirable fuel, being fur
nished at many points at $2 to §4 per ton—and
wood can be bad at the same rate per cord.
Building Stone of an excellent quality also
abounds, which can be procured for little'more
than the expense of transportation.
The great fertility of these lands, which are
a black rich mould from two to five feet deep,
and gently rolling—theircontiguity tothisroadj
by which every facility is furnished for travel
and transportation, to the principal markets
North, South, East, West, and the economy
with which they can be cultivated, render them
the most valuable investment that can be foamd,
and present the most favorable opportunity for
persons of industrious habits and small means
to acquire a comfortable independence in a few
years.
Chicago is now the greatest grain market in
the world, and the facility and economy with
which the products of these lands can be trans
ported to that market make them much more
profitable, at the prices asked, than those more
remote at government rates, as the cost of
transportation is a perpetual tax on the latter,
which must he borne by the producer in the re
duced price he receives for his grain, &c.
'Flic Title is Perfect, and when the final pay
ments are made, Deeds are executed by the
Trustees appointed by the State, and in vvhom
the title is vested, to the purchasers, which con
vey to them absolute titles in Fee Simple, free
and clear of every incumbrance, lien or mort
gage.
TUt Prices are from s(> to S3O; Interest on
ly 3 per cent.
Twenty per cent, will be deducted from the credit
price for Cash.
Th ose who purchase on long credit give notes
payable in 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 years after date, and
are required to improve one-tenth annually for
live years, so as to have one-half the land under
cultivation at the end of that time. Competent
Surveyors w ill accompany those who wish to
examine these lands, free of charge, and aid
ttieni in making selections. The lands remain
ing unsold are as rich and valuable as those
which have been disposed of.
SECTIONAL MAPS will be sent to any one
who will enclose fifty cents in Postage Stamps,

instances of successful farming, signed bv re
spectable arid well known farmers living in the
neighborhood of the Railroad Lands throughout
