We have in Cairo at least two hundred and
my stout, healthy negro men, who, although
Subsistins 'from hand to mouth, utterly and
almost iD'ultingly refuse steady employment.
One Of them win saw a cord OF wood receive
"A dollar and n half therefor, and on that sum
loaf week or ten days. The majority of
them are con,en,ed If they have clothing
good enough 10 shield them from prosecutions

TO keep off starvation.

the past two or three days to efforts to secure

To the Farmers, Planters and Fruit.
:Growers Of the Contiguous Country.

Mr.. w. N. Davidson, satisfied of the FEAST
bility of the project, has undertaken the es.
Enlistment in this city Of an agricultural
warehouse that shall be equal TO all the va
ried wants that manifest themselves in tho call.
ing Of the farmer, planter, gardener and fruit
grower. In doing this he has considered we'll
the character ofthe country, the probable ne
cecs'ties ofthe trade and the nature Of tho
competition with which he will be called upon
70 contend. Such an investigation has as
sured him first, that his stock must be so va
ried as to embrace all the implements and ar
ticles that nro involved in tho intelligent and
successful prosecution of agricultural pur-
suits. Secondly, that the prices must be so reg
uiated as to remove the inducement to pat
renize larger cities, and thirdly, that the pco-
pie Interested must be apprized of his ability
and desire to serve them. He has been gov
orned by these considerations, and respectful
ly solicits an examination of his stock and |
prices, ms proof that he has been faithful TO |
his landmarks.

may be living in this vicinity:
BLOOMFIELD, Mo-, April 10th, 1869.
Dear Sir,-There was an old gentleman,
by the name of Michael Stevenson, died
here on the oath of last month, and I un-
derstand that he was formerly from Vir-
ginia, and had one or two daughters living
near Richmond. Can you give me any in
formation about them If 30, will take
it as q favor. Please send their names and
address if you can, as l wish to write to
them. The old gentleman was stranger
here, and only lived about two weeks after
he was here, and he WAS unconscious half
the time; consequently my information is
very meagre in regard to the whereabouts
of his relatives. have been informed that
his daughters were both widows, and the
name of one was Caroline Jones, but don't
know for certain that it is her name.
Please answer this, and by 80 doing you
will confer favor on e. ". CHRIsTY.
