GREAT LAND SALE. RURAL, SUBURBAN, TOWN, AND VILLAGE LANDS IN THE FEILDING SETTLEMENT, MANCHESTER BLOCK, MANAWATU.

IV. The Corporation portion OF THE TOWN OF CHELTENHAM, comprising 89 town and 5 suburban sections. This is a reserved Block on the Kimbolton-road on the boundaries of the" Manchester and Kiwitea Blocks. It is about 8 miles from Feilding. The Town. •«-**. Vi sections mostly front on the Kim-bolton-road, which is the main road from Feilding to the interior, and is made and metalled from Feilding through this Town and some miles beyond. The Town sections now offered are quite equal if not superior in position to those which at the sale of the other part of the Town a week ago realised from £30 to £120 the £ acre. On the Suburban Sections which lie along the Kiwi tea Stream are to be found some of the finest clumps of Totara in the country. One large Bawmill is now being erected two miles north of this Town, and Cheltenham must be the centre of a large timber trade, which the extension of , the Kimbolton-road is rapidly developing. V. THE VILLAGE OF STANWAY. The Village comprises 24 small sections. It is situated at the junction of the Stanway and Makino Roads, two of the main metalled roads on the Manchester Block. The whole of the country round this village being occupied, an opportunity is offered by the subdivision and sale of this reserve for the sawmill or other laborers about to make a convenient freehold home for themselves. The land is clear of bush, and as the village of Stanway is at the junction of the three metalled roads leadins; to Halcombe, Feilding, and Marton, it is a favorable situation for a Store, a Blacksmith's Shop or Carpenter's, and a few other tradesmen. Plans of the several blocks may be obtained from Mr O. P. Powles, Hunterstret, Wellington, or, if applied for by post or telegram, to Messrs Halcombe and Sherwill, Feilding, will be forwarded by first post free to any part of the colony. TERMS OF SALE. 1. Cash, by which is meant a deposit of 10 per cent, on fall of the hammer, the balance payable at any time within twelve months, bearing interest meanwhile at 7 per cent., but no interest will be charged if the balance is paid within 6 months. 2. Deferred payment. Most of the rural land (excepting some special timber blocks and some of the larger suburban blocks may be taken up by the purchaser on deferred payment in the form of lease, with right to purchase ; the terms will be 25 per cent, added to the price bid at auction, and payable on ' 28th June, 1884, or at any previous time, and meanwhile bearing a rental at the rate of 5 per cent, on the purchase money, the rental being payable half-yearly in advance.. For example, for a block for which a- cash price of £4 per acre is bid at auction, the deferred payment price will be £5 per acre, payable on 30th June, 1884. The rental, 5s per acre, of which 2s 6d must be paid at the fall of the hammer. All titles are under the Land Transfer Act, and can be given within a week after the payment of the purchase money. Sale at 1 o'clock. Luncheon at 12 noon. The Auctioneers can confidently recommend the above lands or any of them as certain to be profitable investments. The character of the Corporation colonising arrangements are now sufficiently well known to be a guarantee to purchasers that all the country- in their neighborhood will be thoroughly opened by roads, and bona fide settlement provided in every possible way ; the lands now newlyopened and offered for sale are quite equal in position and quality to any other part of the Feilding Block, and there can be no reasonable doubt that the same rapid and successful settlement will take place on the part of this block as has resulted from the Corporation operations at Feilding and Halcombe. Efforts will be made to arrange with the railway authorities for special facilities being offered to purchasers from Wanganui and intermediate stations on the day of sale. For the week before the sale one or two coaches will run daily from Feilding to Ashhurst and also to Cheltenham by the new road; and every facility will.be afforded to intending purchasers to visit and inspect the different blocks.

B. having had considerable ex] pcrience, both Home and Colonial, can confidently promise that all orders entrusted to him, will be done in a thoroughly workmanlike manner, and the prices will be found to be as reasonable as those charged by any other house. , IJavelock, December 23rd, 1878. 80

MESSRS HALCOMBE & SHERWILL Have received instructions from the Directors of the Emigrant Colonists' Aid Corporation, to sell by PUBLIC AUCTION AT FEILDING ON WEDNESDAY, 26th MARCH, 1879, and on the following day if necessary, pjnrv sections, Comprising OVER 10,000 ACRES, Being Village, Town, Suburban, and Rural Lands, in Sections varying from J acre to 500 'acres, thus offering opportunities for profitable investment to all classes, to tradesmen, to laborers of every description, to farmers wishing to make homes in this Prosperous Settlement, and especially to saw-millers and bushmen desirous of reaping a & olden harvest from the Wanganui Timber Trade. The following are the several properperties which will be offered for sale : — I. 9000 ACRES RURAL LAND, in . 41 Sections, varying from 50 to 500 acres. This magnificent tract of country is THE PICK OF THE MANCHESTER BLOCK. It lies all in the Valley of the Orowa, is very level, is very well watered by several permanant creeks and by the Orowa River, yet no part of it is flooded, nor has it an acre of swamp. It lies within 2^ miles of Feilding, and within two miles of the railway. It is connected by a good metalled road running right through it, with the Town of Feilding and the new Town of u Ashhurst" on the Manawatu Gorge. Many of the Sections are covered with very light bush, chiefly tawa ; several on the other hand are very heavily timbered with a large proportion of totara, and are as fine saw-mill sites as could be desired. Except with regard to the totara land, purchasers will have the choice of taking up any of these lands on lease, with right of purchase on very easy terms. 11. THE CORPORATION PORTION OF THE NEW TOWN OF " ASHHURST," comprising _ 190 acres divided into 342 sections. This is a sister town, to Feilding and Halcombe. The town itself and the country round is being dealt with in the way of bona fide settlement and road-making in precisely the same way as Feilding and Halcombe; investors may therefore confidently look forward to a similar success to that which has attended those who were so fortunate as to be the first investors in the towns. " Ashhurst" is now connected with Feilding by a good metalled road running direct through the Manchester Block. It is on the main coach-road from Palmerston to Napier. The main railway line from Wanganui to Napier runs through the heart of it. The traffic from a very large portion of the Manchester Block and from nearly the whole of Wanganui Harbor Board Endowment Block must converge upon this town, and meet the railway at this point ; and as, in addition to the road lines completed, other roads are being rapidly opened in several directions from it, "Ashhurst" must be the central depot of an enormous timber trade, there being more totara in its neighborhood than anywhere else in the Manawatu. This town is the centre of the operations of the Corporation now, and must continue to be so for the next three or four years. Independently of its importance as a convenient centre for a very large area of country, " Ashhurst," from its proximity to the Gorge and to the meeting of the waters of the Pohangina and Manawatu Rivers, is most interesting and j picturesque, and, as has been frequently observed by travellers < in the Napier coach when passing through, "it seems specially designed by nature for the site of an important town." 111. 30 SUBURBAN SECTIONS OF HALCOMBE, comprising 380 acres, the sections varying in size from sto 40 acres. This block of suburban sections has been hitherto reserved from sale. It lies on the boundary of the town itself, within half a mile of the railway station, and is opened by a good metalled road running right through it. The Avhole of this block is covered with good timber either for sawing, splitting, or for firewood, and as this is the . nearest available bush to Rangitikei and Wanganui, the timber on •■- these sections has a special value independently of the land, which both for position and quality can hardly be surpassed. These sections would be an admirable investment for any working man* ESTATE OF K. F. MORTENSEN.
