Negroes for Sale.
         I have SIX likely and valuable NEGROES for sale, on a credit of one and two years, or for cash, to suit the purchaser---(with interest from the date, if sold on a credit.)
         Among them are two Blacksmiths---one an excellent workman, being well acquainted with the various kinds of work belonging to the trade; the other has nearly completed the trade, and, by a little more instruction, will be fully competent to execute any work appertaining to the business. There are three young Women, two of whom as good cotton Pickers, and the other a very good House Servant, (perhaps inferior to none)---and one Child.
        I have also, for private Hire, SEVEN very valuable Negroes---consisting of two men, Carpenters, a first-rate house Woman, another woman, (a pretty good house-servant and excellent field-hand,) and three Girls.
          Those wishing to purchase will make application to the subscriber, living one and a half miles northwest of La Grange.

CAUTION
Whereas, about the month of January last I executed my Note to Oscar Roaf, for the sum of $325, due about the end of this year, for the hire of a negro man named Tom, on which note Thomas Keenan became my security--Now, be it known, that I will not pay said note, as said Roaf has taken said negro from me. All persons are therefore cautioned against trading for said note.
