Farmer's Repository April 27, 1810
"NOTICE."
"I request all those indebted to me for tavern accounts or otherwise to make 
immediate payment. Those who do not comply may expect to have their accounts 
put into the hands of officers for collection.  In future, I am determined to 
deal only for cash, excepting with customers who have paid me punctually, and 
attend to this notice.
FRANCIS TILLETT.
April 13, 1810."

"Kentucky Land."
"I wish to dispose of a valuable tract  of military land in the state of 
Kentucky, a faithful description of which is subjoined.  The tract 
contains ?,500 acres and lies in Hopkins county, abuot two miles from Pond 
River  which is navigable to tis mouth, about fourteen from Green River, which 
is navigable to the Ohio, and forty miles from the Red Banks on the Ohio.  The 
soil is excellent for corn, wheat, tobacco, hemp, flax, and cotton; the whole 
of it is finely timbered. The advantages of its situation are numerous and 
great; it affords all the best of range for horses and cattle, and hundreds of 
hogs are yearly sent to market without any feeding at all: --an perhaps the 
most valuable circumstance attending this situation, is that there are three or 
four large salt licks on which if properly explored and examined, might become 
a source of immense wealth. I will either sell the whole tract together or 
divide it into parcels to suit purchasers, at the moderate price of two dollars 
per acre, one third of the money to be paid down, and the balance at two annual 
installments.  Should a number of persons in a neighborhood or county turn 
their attention to the above tract, it would be advisable in them to send an 
agent in whom they could confide to view the premises.  As so many frauds have 
been practised in the western country respecting land transactions, it may be 
necessary, and at least satisfactory, say something about the title. This can 
assure any person inclinable to purchase, is indisputable: - the land being 
surveyed for me by virtue of a militia warrant at least thirty years ago; a 
patent for which, under the hand of the governor of Virginia, I have in my 
possession, free from mortgages or any incumbrance whatever. 
ROBERT BAYLOR.
Russellsville, Kentucky,
Feb. 18, 1810."
"Application may be made directly to me; or to my friend Ferdinando Fairfax, 
esq, near Charlestown, Jefferson county, Virginia, in person or by letter post 
paid."
