[ The failing health of the owners renders it ! necessary that the above property should be sold without delay, and the reserve prices have in consequence been fixed at an exceedingly low level': the fact that these are published is sufficient evidence that business is meant. The sale affords to those wanting good sheep farms a chance of getting what they require ! at prices that cannot but be considered very ! low, and upon exceedingly easy terms. The j district in which Coomb Hay is situated is a very fine one for sheep, and is also suitable for dairying. The agricultural land is hard to surpass for growing grass, grain, and root i crops. The young grass and turnipa now j growing on the place are proof of what it will do. At the price put upon the pastoral country, there is no better bargain offering. The line now being constructed to the Fortification Coal Mine will bring the Estate wilhin very easy distance of a railway communication. No one wanting land should fail to inspect Coomb Hay, and to compare the prices advertised with those asked elsewhere. I For further particulaz-s and plans, apply to WRIGHT, STEPHENSON, & CO., Dm edhi, Invercargill, and Gore : Or to Mr JOHN MARTIN, Manager, san Coomb Hay Estate. IMPORTANT LAND SALE.
