Being anxious to retire from my present business and to pay off my debts, I have determined to offer, to the highest bidder, my whole possessions contiguous to the Indian Springs in Butts county, at so early a day as to allow the purchaser to obtain the full benefit of the approaching Watering season. On the day above mentioned, I shall therefore offer, Fraction No. 26, containing 80 acres more or less, being that on which is situated the celebrated Spring, the Mountain Spout, where I at present reside. The following are some of the improvements. Two large two story dwelling houses, handsomely furnished throughout, containing 20 rooms. There are also 7 nice cabins, 18 feet square, neatly and comfortably fitted for the private accomodations of families visiting the Springs, and all the usual out houses conveniently situated, substantially built, and in good repair. I shall also offer, as part of the same establishment, 3 full squares of 202 ˝ acres each, more or less of good land adjoining the foregoing, most of it of excellent quality, lying in the valley between Rocky Creek and the Springs. This land can be seen on both sides of the road leading from the Springs to Forsyth. It is well fenced and in good order for the ensuing crop. 1000 Bushels of Corn. A Hack, and pair of Horses, for the accomodation of boarders. 20 Feather Beds. 20 Mattresses. 20 Bedsteads. An elegant well toned Piano Forte. House hold and kitchen furniture of all kinds. 5 Cows and Calves. 5 Sows and Pigs. 1 Cart and Steers, &c. &c. The public are aware of the reputation which the Indian Springs have steadily maintained since their discovery. The Waters, the Scenery, the Climate, and the peculiar features of the Mountain Spout establishment in particular, combine to render it one of the most desirable retreats for health or pleasure to be found in the Southern States. It is believed, that the proverty now to be offered, is of itself of such kind and quality and in such condition, as to render it an uncommonly profitable and advantageous investment, independently of its advantages as a watering place. The terms of sale will be, cash for sums of fifty dollars or under. For all larger amounts, cash or approved paper payable in any of the Banks of this State at 4 and 6 months. Immediate possession will be given to the purchaser, who will have plenty of time to make what little preparation (if any) he may find still be necessary for the approaching season. A map or plans, and more particular description of the lands, can be had by application to me at the Mountain Spout. JOEL BALEY. March 24, 1831.
