SALE OF LOTS

IN THE

TOWN OF MONTGOMERY

---

THE undersigned respectfully informs

the Public that he has had the town

of Montgomery re-surveyed, and is now

ready to make sale of Lots to those wishing

to purchase.

    The lands surrounding Montgomery,

known as the Lake Creek Settlement, being

of such a rich and fertile character, and hav-

ing a rich and industrious population, it is

destined to be, in a short time, a town of con-

siderable importance,

    Montgomery is the county site of the

most flourishing, populous and intelligent

county in the Republic.  It is situated on

an elevated ridge, which divides the waters

of the San Jacinto river and Lake creek.

In point of health, Montgomery is not infe-

rior to any place in the world, lying in the

same latitude.

    A plan of the town can be seen at the

Clerk's Office, in the town of Montgomery.

    For terms and further particulors, apply to

the undersigned.

 

A. M'Cown,

   3tf                                           Proprietor.
