N Tuesday, the 14th day of December next, at the Couit House in Louisburg, I shall offer for sale, by virtue of a decree of the Court of Equity, entered in the Petition of Ancilla B. Weslray, at Fall Term of said Court, the Tract of Land lying on the Road leading from Louisburg to Warrenton, one mile from the former place.thelate residence of Nathan Patterson, deceased, containing 405 acres. This property is too generally known to require particular description very rarely is such a splendid Mansion' House, and such substantial out buildings, offered for sale. In the whole County of Franklin, there is not aa establishment fitted up with such elegance and taste, and at the same time so permanent and durable. The dwelling House is new. and contains some eight or ten spacious rooms, and all the out houses are new framed buildings, with stone chim neys. The Yard and Garden are elegantly set with Shrubbery and Flowers, and a wise arrangement per vadestbe entire premises. Ihe yard and avenue are enclosed with solid stone walls, which will last for ages. The arable land ia under good fences, some of which has been highly manured, and a con siderable part is now very productive. 1 suppose there are 75 to 80 acres of forest land, conveniently situated to the farm, and there are also some 15 to 20 acres of splendid meadow. The whole Tract ogether, is certainly the most desirable residence ot my acquaintance. To wealtny gentlemen in tne Eastern part of the State, who would like to avail themselves of the advantages of our superior Male and Female Schools, drink pure water, and enjoy good health, I especially invite to attend this sale. mm . . a 1 SV r I ? i oere i a great deal ot l.ana now onerea ior saw in the up country, but there is no such residence as this within my knowledge.
