GREEN SPRING LAND FOR SALE.—Will be sold, to the highest bidder, at Louisa Court House, on the second Monday in July next, (that being Louisa Court day,) on a credit of one, two and three years, a TRACT OF LAND, containing 1355 Acres. It is situated in Louisa county, in what is well known as the Green Spring neighborhood, which is, without doubt, the best faming land below the Ridge: It is particularly adapted to the growth of wheat and grass; is as healthy as any part of Virginia, and affords as good society as can be found in the country. About 300 Acres of the land is cleared, the balance is in woods, a large portion of which is Tobacco Land, of superior quality. The Land is well watered, and in all respects most desirable. It will be divided to suit purchasers, if required. Those disposed to purchasers, are invited to view the land before the day of sale, which will be shown by my brother, Joseph W. Morris. JNO. MORRIS. Executor of Wm. Morris, dec’d. May 29 [, 1832]. 6—wtds |
