Notice 10 Ny Friends and Customers.

Having fully made up my mind to
open business here on the fifteenth day
OF November next, on my own account,
| earnestly request of those to whom L
have advanced money to pay for sup
plies to make crops, now to bring III
their cotton early and assist me-, ns l
will need money to pay for my goods.
I will take it az q special favor. # each
and every ole that l furnished with
money when they needed it, if they will
make an effort to settle up with me by
the fifteenth Of November next. Bring
in your cotton early, friends. and [
will give you a good price for it. The
present crop will be a large one-from
four and a half to five millions of bales.
and it is thought by persons who have
had considerable experience. that the
price paid for cotton now will not be
maintained long. Therefore l wonld
advise you, my friends and customers,
to market your cotton as loon as yon
can get it out, as you will get as good,
if not better prices now, than later III
the season. and save from five to ten
pounds in the weight of every bale. as
cotton marketed as soon as picked ont
and ginned weighs much heavier than
when thoroughly dry.
Yours respectfully,
