FreJtrkkJlttrgt "Jan. 25, 1768. A I formerly ad vet tifed fundry XiL lands and tenements for fale, in the counties of Sp'jtfilvania, GVsrjv, and Fauquier and no agreeable offer being made, I 'am apprehenlive it may be oceaii oned by the prevailing, notion of many people advertiling their eftatcs without a real intent of felling. As that cufbm only prevails with men of fortune, I trouble the pub lie with this farther notice, that the tenor of my farmer advertifement will be complied with, whenever in my power. The plantation whereon I live, containing 100 acres of land, well wooded and watered, Within half a mile of the fiouriihing plcafant town ot commanding an entire view of this town, and near three miles down the river lUppah.innock, is now for fale.

The houfes are good and convenient, and the place in good repair. At the fame place, on S.iturJ.iy the 19th 'of March next, if fair, if not, on the Monday following, will be expofed to fate, fundry houlhol'd and kitchen furniture. I propofe either to fell, or rent, the land and faw aiill in Fauquier. If fold, half the purchafe money to be paid in when poiTeflion will be given the other half in OSlober following. A difcount a the rate of 5 per cent, per annum, will be allowed for ready caih, to enable me to my crcditois fpecdily.

For further particulars, reter to my tormer auverr.ic ment, having been full therein. Any per un inclinable to purchafe any part of my litids adverri'ed, may view the preniifes on applying before the day of Thofe to whom 1 am indebted may m.eet with great bargains, bei'ng deterniincd ro fatisfy mv cretin jrs. Thofe who have paid no regard to my former advertifement, as debtors, may i.iy vord in this, unlefs fpcedy payment be for all accompts Handing than twelve months, the fame will be put into an Atto ry's hands'. I (lull take it Ktreir.ely kind cd thofe who havt any in tencj'ins cf purchaling, cither lands or chattels, that they will make it known as foon as polhble. ScJi Hull have the particular thanks of Their obedient humble fen ant RICHARD LEWIS.
