That they should consider whether, m the interests of thsir families and their old age, they would not be wisa to sell their small high-priced firms here, which cunnot increase much more m value, and purchase larger ones m Southland, off which they not only can mal;e a better living, but which must increase m value as settlement progresses, and leive them rich and independent by that moans alone, and THE TERMS On which we arc offering the Land Puts it within the reach of everyone.
