Fifty cents per. bale; Storing and weigh

We respectfully inform the travel
ling public that we have running in
connection with all the Rail Roads
terminating at Memphis, regular
line of OsRlEaI1ssses, for conveying
passengers and baggage to and from
the Depots, Hotels, and any other
part Of the city. Our Omnibuses will
be found at the doors of the different
Hotels in sufficient time for every train
Of cars starting from this point.
As the United States Mails are car
ried on this line, passengers will find it
the most safe to patronize us, as the
cars never leave until the Mails are
delivered by us.
BY strict attention and promptness
to the travellers wants, we hope to
secure a share Of the public patronage.
