      =============
      The "Cooper's Clarksburg Register" newspaper of Wednesday, Mar 24 1852, contained the following prominent display advertisement:
      HO ! FOR OREGON !
      The undersigned offers for sale his entire property in Doddridge county, Va., consisting of a FARM, STORE and TAVERN STAND, preparatory to starting for Oregon.
      The Farm contains 400 acres, about 100 acres of which are cleared. It is situated 36-1/2 miles west of Clarksburg, and 48-1/2 miles east of Parkersburg, on the North Western Turnpike, and within one mile of where the Railroad must pass.
      The Tavern Stand and store are desirably situated on the Turnpike.
      I have also several other tracts of UNIMPROVED LAND, which will be sold low for Cash, or anything that will pay a debt.
      There are several other GOOD IMPROVED FARMS in this section of country, which I am authorized to sell, one of which is three miles west of mine on the Northwestern Turnpike, of 250 acres, which is the most desirable situation on the road, and known as the "Chapman Farm."
      As my object in selling is to pay my debts and emigrate to Oregon, any person wishing to purchase land in Doddridge or Ritchie counties, would do well to give me a call soon.
