Runnymead Estate is situated on the banks of the Aparima or Jocob'p River, and is within three-quai tor^ of a milo of the Thornbury Railway Station, which i^ within 18 miles of Invcrcargill. It h^s been in Mr Sutton's possession for about 28 years, and has during that time been the home of his widely-known floolc 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 stock on tiie estate, and besides this he has from time to timo purchased large quantities of grain for consumption by his stud sheep, which has added 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 hit mind' to leave the colony, and is determined to °ell. He has fixed the extremely low upsets as evidence to the public that he means business, and that klB .SALE IS PRACTICALLY AN r UNRESERVED ONE. A clearing sale of the whole of Mr Sutton's celebrated Lincolns and other stock will take place a few weeks after the sale of the land, and will be advertised in due course. TERMS : 10 per cent, cash, 10 per cent, in one month, and the balance in three months.
