Alexandrina Campbell

CAUTION.

THE Subscriber intimates to the public, that he has discovered that ALEXANDRINA CAMPBELL, commonly known by the name of LEXY CAMPBELL, formerly his Servant, and who left his service about 4 months ago, has, without his authority, taken up Goods at various places in his name, and has conducted herself very improperly, and gone strolling through the country in a very irregular manner; on which account he considers it as an act of justice, to caution every person against her artifices; and to state, that he is not liable for any Debts she may have contracted, or shall contract, in his name.

Easter Kirktown, Skene

A MOST CAPITAL FARM
In the Parish of Skene, to Let.

EASTER KIRKTOWN, at present possessed by Robert Wylie, is to be let for such number of years as may be agreed upon.  The Skene turnpike passes thro' it, between 8 and 9 miles from Aberdeen.  The soil is early, and well adapted for bringing up weighty crops of Wheat, Barley, and Turnip. - Having been 23 years in the Proprietor's possession, he spared no pains in fencing it, and bringing it into high cultivation.  - The farm consists of upwards of 100 Acres, enclosed in 24 fields, with water mostly in each, fit for grazing Cattle.

There is a good Dwelling House, and Steading of Offices, consisting of 2 Barns, 4 Byres, a Stable, and Grain Lofts.  If the taxman should require more land, he may have from 30 to 40 acres additional.  The Lands are bound to no Mill, and there is plenty of Moss attached to them.  It is seldom that such a farm is to be met with.  Entry at Martinmas 1816.

Enquire at Wm. Knowles, Virginia-street.

Charles Belmerick, at Kirktown of Skene, will shew the farm.
