Runnymead Estate is bituated on the banks of the Aparima or Jacob's River, and is within three-quarters of a mile of the Thornbury Railway Station, which is within 18 miles of Invercargill. It bjis been in Mr Suttou's possession for about 28 years, and has during that time been the home of his widely-known flock of Lincoln sheep. It is naturally one of the most fertile spots in Southland, and its great natural fertility has been enormously increased by the manner in which it has been worked. Mr Sutton has never grown grain for sale but only for consumption by his ,=tock on the estate, and besides this he has from time to time purchased large quantities of grain for con- [ sumption by his stud sheep, which has added j largely to the fertility of the soil. The upset prices put on the land are far below its value, but Mr Sutton has made up his mind to leave the colony, and is determined to pelJ. He has fixed the extremely low upsets as evidence to the public that he means business, and that I HIS SALE IS PRACTICALLY AN UNRESERVED ONE. A clearing .sale of the whole of Mr Sutton's celebrated Lincolns and other &tock will take place a few weeks after the sale of the land, and will bo advertised in due course. TERMS: 10 per cent, cash, 10 per cent, in one month, and the balance m three months.
