The undersigned have started an enterprise
in which the public are deeply interested.
is TO supply want of our people IN an arllGIo
chat enters into general consumption Ne
propose saving of 80 per cent at least 10 'noso
who purchase it. 1t is known that large pro,
norton of the Wooden goods now mn n"faG5ulG ~ &c ca
arc sbohdv. We are manufacturing NJ BUCK, &
land, Prince William CO., va, GEN UIN u
article of wooden fabrics 10 suit all conditions
and classes of wearers.
We do not, and we mean not TO, work Shod-
dy, but we shall continue TO make the GEM u
INE ARTICLE in all its varieties, which we
offer to sell at far lower rates than the goods
our people arc accustomed to buy, when the
material and wear Of the two fabrics arc taken
into account. We are warranted by the judg-
ment pronounced on our goods by manu!ac-
turers and merchants, in saying that we are
singular in the class of fabrics we are now MAX
ing, and meeting desire Of tho public for gen.
uine goods. An old and experienced merchant
has compared our goods with those in the
Northern markets, and informs US that the
largest cloth dealers there acknowledged that they
had no such goods in store. The following OK
tract from letter received by US from lead
ing commission house in Baltimore, presents
the point of the case and shows our people
whore their true interest lies
eve have examined the samples you sent US
and find them highly creditable indeed. I our
goods are too good for our market, and will not
be appreciated by the trade here. Ihere Is SO
much shoddy and at the same time so much
show in the Eastern goods that an out and out
onest thing like yours don't affair chance
hf success"
Tho largest cloth ie.le. in New J ork says
"If you once introduce your goods amongst
your people they will never buy any Others" "
Encouraged by these opinions, we propose to
make the ex pertinent, not by appealing to the
Southern people to encourage home manufac-
lures. Organized bodies might be moved by
such appeals, but individuals consult their in
terests and will buy whore they. can get the
most for their money. 1t is to this individual
interest thst we appeal We ask you to try our
goods and SEQ if that trial does not verify the
Judgment shove pronounced on them.

Ieyi,'s papers alter his death, and is now IN
.be posscssiou of Mr. Murray.
The document speaks tor itself sufficiently to
need no comment on our part;
"It has been intimated TO me that the per-

ration was signed, and it was declined by the
0.her party, as also the publication Of the cor

those propositions beg her to repeat, and to

be- informed at last OF their real nature.
