That thoy should cousidor whether, m tho interests of their families and their old age, they would not bo wise to sell their small high-priced farms horo, which cannot increaso much more m value, and purohaso larger oneß m Southland, off which they not only can mako a belter living, but which must increase m value iv« settlement progresses, and leave them rich and independent by that means alone, nnd THE TERMS On which wo aro offering tho Land Puts it within the reach of everyone.
