LAND
FOR SALE
The
subscriber offers for sale, two thousand acres of Land,
lying on the south side of Trent River, adjoining the
Plantation of John STANLY, Esq.-binding on the river one and
a half miles, and only twelve miles from Newbern. There are
three hundred and fifty, or four hundred thousand cleared
land under excellent fence-a large dwelling House in good
repair, and out Houses; the light wood has not been worked
off for twenty five years; also twenty thousand boxes two
years old. No place perhaps in the district of Newbern,
affords better range for Cattle, sheep and hogs. As I am
determined to move, those who may want Land have an
opportunity of a great bargain.
