My farm has 28 acres in one year old Elberta peaches in fine growing condition. As soon as these trees come into bearing three crops of poaches will easily pay for the land at the price I am ask ing. Besides this I have 6 acres in bearing orchaTd peaches, apples and plums. Of my farm, 130 acres are cleared and in cultivation. The land Is of good quality and is this year planted in corn, cotton, sugar cane; sweet and Irish potatoes, cow peas, peanuts, and garden vegetables. About forty acres of good alfalfa land. Some good timber. Good improvements. Good water. Healthy locality. R. F. D. This farm is a morioy-maker, but I am past 70 years of age and getting too old to develop it. Besides I have other interests de manding my attention. This is a fine opportunity for a younger man to stop in and make some mdney in a few years' time.
