THE TOWN OF ROCKWALL, IN KAUFMAN CO.
ELIJAH ELGAN, Proprietor,

Having been laid off into lots of convenient size, is presented to persons desiring to settle in a young and thriving village, as a desirable locality, offering inducements of health, beauty, and good neighborhood.

Rockwall is situated in the Northwest corner of Kaufman County, two and a half miles east of Well's bridge over the East Fork of the Trinity, and is on the road leading from McKinney to Shreveport-- also on the road leading from Dallas to Greenville. It is located on a very elevated prairie commanding a view of fifteen miles all around; has timber near it, and springs adjoining; and is surrounded by as fine a farming country as can be found anywhere, well settled immediately around the town.

There are Merchants, Lawyers and Physicians already settled in the place. There is a Presbyterian, a Baptist, a Methodist, and a Christian congregation in the settlement, and there is a good School house erected adjacent to the town.

Lots are offered for sale on accommodating terms, and will be given free of charge to competent Merchants, for shop use.

ELIJAH ELGAN.
