chimes now before the public, my convictions have
forced me to adopt the WHEELER d WILSON
Machine as the best for Family, Plantation, and
general use, ever invented. Among the advantages
it possesses over every other Machine, are:
LIST. Elegance and simplicity of construction,
and consequent freedom from arrangement and
need of repairs.
I'd. Durability, ease, rapidity of operation, and
noiseless movement.
Sd. Beauty of stitch, frmness of seam, and econ-
omy of thread.

materials.

other Machine has.

The Baptist State Convention, at Lexington,
Miss, 1857, raised the endowment fund up to one
hundred and two Thousand eight hundred dollars,
(Sl02,S00.) With such an endowment to sustain
it, friends be confident that the discipline will
be decided and beautiful, and the scholarship equal
to that of the most respectable colleges of the
country
- The friends of the College are now engaged
in raising another hundred thousand dollars, en-
dowment.
When the aficers Of unendowed colleges send off
students for viciousness aziness they take from
their pockets the amount of their tuition. The
officers of Mississippi College are not so circum-
stanced. Hence there is no temptation to tolerate
lazy boys with their low scholarship, or vicious
ones with their irregularities.
The high standard Of Scholarship and vigorous
discipline of this Institution, rapidly making it
outrank all surrounding Colleges and Universities,
in number of students and general prosperity.

SINCE the opening of our new, spacious, and
- magnificent establishment, our enterprise has
been appreciated with an enthusiasm which we
scarcely dared to anticipate. Although we pre-
red ourselves with stock Of Goods equal to any
emergency, we had no idea that We should be met
1t the start with large a trade. Not to be
thankful for such manifestations of public conf
dence would evidently be ungenerous on our part,
and we have, therefore, endeavored to reciprocate
what We have received by marking our goods at
Lower Per Centage OF Profit,
and at the same time have endeavored to improve
facture of our Goods. We think that our arrange
ments are now in the
