Messrs. Hill g. Henderson, Baton Rouge

We invite the attention of our readers to the
advertisement in to-day's paper OF Messrs. Hill
4 HENDERSON, proprietors Of the Baton Rouge
Foundry. From what we have incidentally heard
respecting this establishment from those in this
parish who have had work done there, we feel
convinced that as good work can be done by the
above firm, and on as moderate terms, as in New
Orleans or any other place in the South. We
trust that planters and others in the parish, who
have not hitherto patronized this Foundry, will
take occasion to do so when they have work to
be done in that line.
