That what has made it increase m value is settlement. That on the smell holdings they have here all they can make is a bare living, and that m ten years' time libey will be so many ;rears older, but no botter off than they are nov. That they should consider whether, m the interests of their families and their old ago, they would not bo wiso to sell their .tmall high-priced farnu here, which cannot increaso much more m value,- and purchase larger ones m Southland, off which tber not only can mako a better living, but vhich must increase m value as settlement progresses, and leave r,hem rich and independent by that means alone, and THE TERMS On which wo arc offering tho Land.
