Elsewhere we publish a card from
John NJ. Larkin, proprietor of the Jeffer-
son street Compress, notifying the public
that he is prepared to compress cotton at
75c per bale, and that he is in no way con-
nected with any other compress. Seventy
five cents per bale was the charge estab-
lished by mutual agreement of shippers
and compress owners last year, and it IS
deemed Just and equitable. We hope that
merchants will take notice of Nj. Lar
kin's card and avail themselves of his de-
sire to accommodate himself to the wants
Of a trade that is the most desirable we
enjoy. Cotton shippers will consult their
interests by patronizing Mr.. Larkin.

their dry goods from him, he has put up
a splendid Cabinet Singer Sewing Ma
chine, valued at S175, to be awarded to the
lady that purchases the largest amount of
goods from him up to Christmas eve, at
which time it is TO be awarded. The
mOdus OperGpdi of the drawing IS very
simple-for every i've dollars worth-of
goods purchased, the purchaser gets a
ticket in the drawing. The party who has
the most tickets of course has the best
chance, The machine is on exhibition in
one of Mr.. Coils show windows. TIL case

deliberately finished, being lined through
