On the North side of the river, there are six ■ hunilred acres of the tinest River Bottom Land in the State—about fifty acres of which are already cleared, j and produce the finest sort of crops. One hundred i acres more may be cleared, which is sufficiently ele vated above the ordinary height of freshets to save the crops. The lands abound in Oak, .Vsh, and the finest kind of Cypress Timber.

King the present occupant, being desirous to ' close up his business, we offer those valuable premises for sale. Kingsbury is situated at the terminus of the Fayette ville & Raleigh I’lank Road, eleven miles from the former place, and within three miles of Kins’s Land ing on Cape Fear River. These premises ofter more business conveniences and comforts for living, per haps than any country «e.at in Cumberland. On them is a neat two-story family nvansion, containing seven rooms—a tire place in each, with front and rear piazza and portico, frame kitchen, sleeping apartments for servants, smoke house and diviry. with a prime well of water; and all handsomely enclosed. .\lso, on the [>remises are nine other fiame buildings, with brick chimneys to each, and rooms sufficient to accommo date from fifty to sixty negroes; a frame Barn 50 by (iO feet, with stalls for forty horses, and room to hold '>(f tons of forage; Carriage house. Store and Ware house; I Water Grist .Mill, two (,'ooper and two Blacksmith’s ' Shops, Wheel Right Shoj), Turpentine Sheds, &c.; all within convenient distance of the best Springs of Sandhill Water. All the buildings are new and have been erected within the last four or five years. To , these valuable improvements we will add 1,500 acres , of Pine Lands, and we will take $3,500 for the whole, ' which is $1000 less than the cost of the improvements, ■ We have also, on the premises, and now in operation, ; a Steam Saw iwid Grist Mill, and Turpentine Distillery, which can be bought cheap. If the right sort of a purchaser pre'^ents himself, and wishes a partner in his operations, we will furnish one with sufficient capital t» conduct a profitable business. To a Planter who has $14,000 to invest in real estate and wants the best Plantation on Cape Foar River, with a healthy country seat with all conveniences for living at hand, these premises would be a very desir able attachment to the Ashe Plantation, containing seven hundred acres of the best Cape Fear bottoms, and now in market. These two Estates are connected by a good Ferry Landing and are only three miles apart; and will be sold together or separate. For further particulars apply to T. S.
