HERE! HERE!! LOOK HERE!!!

THE undersigned offers the most splendid, gigantic bargain in 320 acres of
land that was ever offered to any child of wrath, in this evil world, since
pussey was a cat.  Said land lies 12 miles, west of Palestine, half a mile
west of Bonner's Ferry on the Trinity, on the road leading from Palestine to
Fairfield -- Good timber, and most excellent soil; 18 acres in a good state of
cultivation, and 17 acres nearly ready for the... [picture of plow]
Good dwelling houses, &c; a well of as good water as ever gushed from the
bowels of the earth to satisfy the curiosities of the children of men.  This
water does not, like some water on the road, need any of the ardent mixed with
it to make it palatable.  It is deplorable to see the effects of mixing ardent
with water; it over-nerves the arm, give loose volubility to the tongue, and
most astonishingly fructifies the imagination.  This water needs no such
stimulant.  The pilgrim in this low ground of sorrow, that drinks not b[e]ing
more impure than this water, is wise, pure, peaceable, gentle, easy entreated,
full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. This
location is convenient to navigation; in a thriving neighborhood, amidst an
abundance of wild game 150 yards from the house is a beautiful, clear pool of
water, affording an abdunance of Troat, Perch, Buffalo, Cat, and other
varieties of fish -- easily caught at all seasons of the year, and last, though
not least, the best situation for entertaining travelers that can be found.

This is a desirable location for nine good reasons, -- viz: the fertility of
the soil; good timber; fine water; convenience to navigation; the abundance of
game and fish; the excellence of its locality or a public house; the state of
society; the desticulation of the neighbors; and the circumambient,
circumprotary circumstances by which it is surrounded.  I will sell for money
or good property.  Terms made easy to any circumspect, spiniferous, responsible
purchaser.
