FOR SALE

I offer for sale, my farm at Putnam, Marion county, Georgia, consisting of 440 
acres of land, located on the Central of Georgia railway, midway between Buena 
Vista and Ellaville, on the Dixie Overland highway.  There is a depot, store 
house, post office and express office within 150 yards of my residence.  My 
dwelling has 8 rooms built in 1914 and is modern in every respect with water, 
electric lights, baths, etc., and is considered to be the best and most up-to-
date home in Marion county.  This farm has 9 tenant houses, 2 barns, gin house 
and ginning outfit, store house, blacksmith shop and, in fact, every kind of 
building that is needed on an up-to-date farm.  Anyone can do a $5,000 monthly 
business at the store located at Putnam, as the same is the only store here.  
This place is well adapted to growing cotton, peaches, and everything else 
that is raised in this section.  Has 50 acres of young peach trees that came 
into bearing this year and some of the land netted $450 per acre.  Also about 
50 bearing pecan trees.  This farm lies well, mostly level, with no waste 
land.  Soil red pebble and gray with clay subsoil.  Has been growing peaches 
for 20 years and this land ripens peaches about 5 days earlier than the Fort 
Valley section.  This farm is well watered and is partly wired with hog and 
barb wire fencing.  Located in good community, convenient to churches, schools 
and grist mill.  If sold by August 25, will take $85 per acre.  The buildings 
alone on this place are worth $20,000.

APPLY TO R.W. Stevens,
