wards Of Eighty Thousand Foxes have been

twelve months, and over 10000 Boxes OF
these have been sold in the State of Alabama
alone. The Proprietor has never known a
single instant where these Pills have failed
to cure the Chils and Fever. where they
have been used strictly according to the d.
rections accompanying them. One box OF
;hese Pills is generally. ufficient to cure two
common cases Of Chills and Fever.

For Enlarging and Extending the
Circulation
or THE
.YAZOO CITY WING.

Ar the solicitation of many of
our friends, and desire on our
part to make our papera useful me-
dunn Of communication to the pub
lie generally, we have determined
to ENLAGE AND OTHERWISE IMPROVE
THE APPEARANCE OF THE ''YAZOO
CITY WHIG," SO as to make it
more worthy of a general circuIa-
ton among the people OF the inter-
Iior.-Y azoo City is the trading and
shipping point Of a large, rich, and
IpopuIous section Ofcountry, and the
facilities afforded at this point for
collecting the latest events that trans
Ipire in the political and commercial
world, hold out inducements, for
the public to sustain journal at
this place devoted to the advance
ment of its interests.
We have Iabored faithfully,
Through evil report, and through
good report for the last ten years
in publishing a paper in Yazoo
City; and, during that whole period,
what patronage we have received,
was voluntarily and generously
rendered, without an effort on our
part to obtain it. Our interests arc
identified with those of Yazoo City
here we have reared a family
and, here we expect to end the bal
ance of our days.
: To effect the improvements
contemplated in the VINO, we shall
necessarily be compelled to incur
e considerable extra expense and,
to enable us to do this, we have
2 issued this PROSPECTUS, with the
5 view to add additional subscribers
to our list.
At We have determined to make
p the VINO worthy of liberal and
generous support and, we now
;. call upon our friends to use their in.
ay fuence and aid to accomplish thi.
re- re- object. Two or three hundred adj
on ditional subscribers, and Il more Elk
TENDED patronage from our advcr-
Using friends will be all-sufficient.
! Our arrangements are such, tina
e we can confidently assure our pat
ne rons that they shall not be disap
pointed in their apprenticeship
Y VINO shall not be inferior to any
re of its contemporaries, in the QUAIL
VI Try and QUANTITY of reading mat
Sc ter it contains, or in the BEAUTY
C. and ACCURACY of its MECHANICAL
Sc EXECUTION. We have engaged
the services of several gentlemen
eminentIy qualified, to be regular
contributors to its coIumns-Wt
Jd have, also, engaged the services O
ue several commercial gentlemen, O
y, ID New Orleans, to furnish us witt
We ACCURATE reports of the markets
nd as well as all other matters which
will be of interest to the up-countr,
ny reader. The local department Q
ar the paper, we shall take under on
e en Town exclusive control, and ever,
in incident that transpires which cal
We impart interest, shall have a hear
