THE HOME TRACT
lies on the Providence road, 12 miles south of Char

Church, contains
half of which is cleared and in a high state of cultiva
tion, with a good Dwelling House and other improve
ments. THE BLACK JACK PLACE
is 10 miles from Charlotte, on the same road, with com
fortable improvements; also a good Store house, where
a thriving business has for a number of years been

and is of unsurpassed fertility. The
TWO OTHER PLACES

and htavily timbered ; one contains 45 itcrcs, the
other 40.
These lands arc probably the most productive ever
offered for sale in this county and affords, to those who
wish to purchase, a rare opportunity for a sate and pro
fitable investment. Those who wish to examine the
premises can do so by calling on the subscriber who
will take pleasure in showing them the lands.

and the public generally, that his house, knon
as the "Railroad Hotel." onuosite thu i hestcr

that every needed arrangement has been made to pro

are airy and well-furnished, his servants are attentive
and obedient, and his table constantly supplied with the
best of the season, so that his .'riends will not want any

FLORIDA LAND AGENCY.
FHE undersigned has established an agency in the
town of Alligator, Columbia County, Fla., for the
purchase, sale or location of Land Warrants, the pur
chase and sale ol lands generally, improved and unim
proved. The fact now being eslablished that a Rail
iioad is to be constructed immediately, connecting the
tlanti: and Gulf of Mexico, runing through the entire
length of the county, East and West, anc in view of
the great fertility of our soil, the unusually fine growth
of pine timber on the land, the healthfu'ness of the
climate, and the reasonable terms on which laniis can
now be obtained, there is perhaps no section of the
Union which affords equai inducements to the emigrant
trom the older States. Having had some experience in
farming on the different kinds ol land, and acquired a
general knowledge of them throughout the county and
having acquired unusual acilities for pointing out such
as are for sale either of public or private lands, he
feels very confident of making it the interest of all
persons wishing iuforir ation, or who may have deter
mined to settle in Florida to call on him.

TO THE PATRONS OF
PERRY DAVIS'
VEGETABLE
Owing to the large mount of ounterfeit Pain Killer
put up and sold as genuine by unprincipled men,
have been obliged to resort to very expensive measure
to protect ourselves pecuniarily, and the public from
preat injury, by buying and using their worthless coyr.
teifeits. The cotnparalive plain and simple sl)'l
which our Pi.tn Killer has been put up, has mad it
very easy for those disposed, to imitate it verysurcf
fully, as far as its external appearance, in style of hot
tie, lable, and color of the article ; but we need not ny
that the Compound is a miserable, filthy proi'ucticn. Ui
calculated to do great injury to those who inigl't uiH
with the confidence that they have been secuttsflW
to use the genuine Pain K. Her. Parties whof busi
ness it is to counterfeit valuable preparations ilo it "
such a secret manner, that it is almost useless to
tempt to punish them by legal measures, as it i"
cult, and we might say impossible to bring tlie
home to them.
Consiih ring the great difficulty in protecting ur:
selves and the public by prosecuting parties, we nav
been to a very great expense in getting "P a fin 7
executed
STEEL E HATED LABEL
for our bottles. We also attach to our bottles a i"f'
Engraved Note of Hand, which we issue as our obliga
tion, and to counterfeit which is held to be forger)' t?
the laws of the United States, arid which raitie "1
not dare attempt to do. The great expen.e attend"
the getting ip and printing of these labels will prev"
the attempt to counterfeit, thus securing to tbt pu""c
that the article they purchase is the genuine ?eV
Davis' Pain tiller, manufactured by Perry PVI s
Son, Sole Proprietors.
The Pain Killer will be put up in a new Ftyle ofp3''
bottle, with the words,
Davis' Vegetable Pain Killer,
blown in the Glass. We have JiMontinued the use
the 37 4 cent bottles and now put up only four s''
viz : 1-2 cents, 25 cents, 50 cents and 1 per bo! ,'h.
We have also a vry fine Engraving on Stone lor
Box labels, specifying the contents ol the box, wt .
and by whom manufactured, & c. We have alto d'
to our Pamphlet of directions and certificates a to
beautifully finished, presenting on the first pas' 8 v '
excellent likeness of Perry Davis, the original ,I,V"V
of the Pain Killer. Tbe bottle labels, and ne ,a(
on each box, has also a correct likeness of Perry V '
hich it will be impossible to counterfeit Bceestrsj
We have been to this expense, that the public ,ni'(!.
hve perfect confidence that th- y were getting ,b'slb.
uine article when they buy a bottle as above "fir .t
ed. To those who have so long ued and ProV'j or.
merits of our article, we would say that we shai i -
tinue to prepare cur Pain Killer of the best ami P pf
materials, and that it shall be every viay worm)
their approbation as a family medicine. u
