  SPRINGFIELD REVIVED

  NOTICE is hereby given to all persons owning and claiming lots in the town of
Springfield on the Navosoto river, Robertson county, that they are required to 
return and settle "upon said lots on or before the 6th of May next or their rights 
will be forfeited according to the terms of the contract entered into between 
them and Moses Herin proprietor of said town: all dangers contemplated in the 
bond or contract of said Herin are believed to have ended with the final 
ratification of the treaty with the Indians in November last.
  Each man with a family settling in said town before the l5th day of February 
next and remaining one year therein will have all the privileges of the first 
settlers and will be entitled to four lots of a quarter of an acre each and a 
farm lot of ten acres. Single men will be entitled to one half the above quantity.
The town of Springfield is pleasantly situated on the east bank of the Navosoto 
river well watered and the rich country around is fast settling with an enterprising
and industrious population. The site of this town of Springfield and the Parker's 
Fort country generally, are too well known to require further description.
