By virtue of a decree rendered at a late term of the Kenton Circuit Court in the above cause, I will on the 19th day of February next, offer for sale, on the premises, a valuable tract of containing one thousand acres in tracts of 50 acres, Said land is situated in Kenton county, Ky., on Licking river, nineteen miles from Covington, by the Covington and Lexington railroad, which runs through the land. The sale will be made on a credit of one, two, and three years, the purchaser to give bond and security for the purchase money, bearing interest at six per cent, per annum until paid. This land is all unimproved and covered with the finest description of wood and timber trees, consisting of oak, poplar, black walnut, sugar tree, blue ash, interspersed with a large proportion of wild cherry tree, and is in the river bottom the finest beach imaginable, and presents the finest prospect yet offered for men of industry to get themselves homes, or men of capital to increase their fortunes, as the wood and timber taken to market will more than pay for the land, and when taken off will render the land doubly valuable.I will be prepared on the day of sale with a complete survey and maps of the land and the divisions, so as to give accurate information touching the locality of the several parcels, and also give satisfactory assurances in respect to the title. In the meantime, Mr. Phillip Talifario, on the adjoining tract above the land, will take pleasure in showing land to anyone who may wish to inspect it. N. B. Stephens, Com’r.
