"Look Here.
I will sell a convenient House, and two lots of ground attached to the same -- 
the lots contain half an acre each, the land is excellent and contains several 
beautiful fruit trees of various kinds.  There is a shop adjoining the dwelling 
house, in which business is now transacted; also a good stable on the 
premises.  This property is every way calculated to accomodate almost any 
mechanical profession, or a store.  As the proprietor wishes to turn his 
attention to other pursuits, he will give a great bargain in the above 
situation.  Should he not be able to dispose of it for cash, he will not be 
unwilling to exchange it for good fertile land in the state of Ohio.  
Purchasers are respectfully invited to view the property which now is, and will 
ere long, be more valuable.  Possession will be given on the first of the 
ensuing October, by
DETRICK  BIDAMAN.
Smithfield, Jefferson County, May 18."
