SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI. o-This CIKCULAH is issued in response to many letters of inquiry which i am constantly roceiv-•____■ _ I i! ' . . ... • . • *1 img in relation ro this portion of Missouri, and gives a bnefsralement of some of the advantagesand inducements to tlio.se contemplating coining West to seek here a home, or to invest in real estate. About 3,949,0(10 acres oi* Government land in this State, are open to pre-emption, subject to entry umler Mu* liberal provisions of the .“IXomest«ul Act,*1 or to purchase, a larger portion of wluch can be more readijy reached from this point (Holla Mo.,) than from unv other place in the State. And, indeed, the section including Phelps unit adjoining counties may bo 'considered, in respect to settlement, the newest portion of the State, as, until the completion ofthe South Pacific It. It* to this place, m!859, it was entirely out of the way of the great route of travel and trade; immediately following the completion of the railroad came the war, so I hut in reality the settlement and improvement of this section may be said to date from the close of the war; although, scattered through this and adjoining counties, are several old and valuable farms, milt sites that have been somewhat improved, and mines that have been opened—that at the Mora nice Iron Works having been worked since 1829It is a fact that belter land can he bought in this locality for the same money than in anv other portion of the Stale, or of the whole West, and much nearer, or at a better market than can he bad in the more western portion of Che State, or Kansas, *'. Tire afcvclopenient of the mineral and manufacturing resources of this section will furnish a home market ffo the farmer for all his-productions, which is of itself of highest advantage . •To those who contemplate coming West—In-horcrr. hi Eastern cities and towns, who desire to secure homes and independence for themselves and their families $ men of moderate means who desire Jfco improve their condition, or to engage in farming, frait-Jgrowing or stock-raising upona more extended scale, to men of ^capital whoi lauds, mines, or numifaefu-desire to invest in ring; to young men, and men of energy, with or without capital, we say, now is the time to come.The bountiful harvest of the past season, and the consequent low price of provisions and supplies, which the new settler wilt have to purchase makes this the best year for emigration since the war.Ift$rffi:IIclic
