To Planters and Manufacturers
Recognizing the demands for labor for the
purpe Sc of developing the agricultural, manu-
featuring and other industries III the Missis-
sippi valley, we have organized a company,

Our first object. Is to ascertain the wants OF
our planters and manufacturers, ann imme-
diately place ourselves IN mmueication with
such countries from which we may comrnHnd
the labor hest suited to our climhte and indus

We also intend to aid and assist persons de-
formation Ms they may desire. as to localities,
price of lands. etc.
We hope the responsibility guaranteed by onr
capital. and the known standing. Of our stock
holders and the directors chosen to sarve them.

by maintaining high credit. ana establishing
itself upon a firm basis that It may continue
through many years OF usefulness. and In q
substantial organization. attain the desired re-
suits more quickly and economically than by

We deprecate the present negro exodus and
believe the eolored people will soon discover
their error and return to their homes, as many
are now doing. Will. We desire to foster and
encourage the labor for our cotton and sugar
the colored labor very desirable and efficient,
still we appreciate the fact that tt Is unsettled
and at best. not sufficient to meet the wants OF
the agricultural districts.
We have reason to believe that an unlimited
supply Of good labor suited to our climate can
be had from Chine at an early day, If our en-
terprise Is met with proper support.
