also propose to take goods c. o. D.,
which will be a great convenience to our
merchants. For this service thew will
make charge Of one-half per cent,
which is the regular charge made by q

boat and no other, and his assurance |
hat the Mississippi shall be in all re- |

lake sn interest in our welfare. Com
modOre Mart. Walt is the popular agent |
IF the Mississippi, as well as the Msgen- |
a, which goes in on opposite Wednes-
