Honey SdUed Is Honey
Made,


beg leave to call the attention Of the pc opla
of Copiah county to the fact that they can save
One RRundred Thousand Dollars
by buying their goods from the Great New
York House in this place and Crystal Springs.
You may think the above Is an advertising
scheme, but | think can snow TOu from figures
below how it can be done. In the first place
there are five thousand families IN the county
that trade upon an average OF two hundred dol
ars per family, which would mount TO one MIL
lion dollars per annum that they spend. . think
that those who have dealt with me are satisfied
that they have bought from me at least ten
per cent cheaper than they could have bought
elsewhere. But | will put it down ut five per
cent, making a saving on one million dollars Of
fifty thousand dollars; and l now propose to give
five per cent off in cash on all bills that exceed
ten dollars, which Will amount 10 f,ty thousand
more, making ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS SAVED. The question may arise in
the minds OF some, how this can be done? l
will explain, that | buy goods in such quantit les
that | get d per cent of of from Two to ten per
cent, and my sales ara probaoly larger than
those of any two houses in this part Of the cOun-
Thousand Dollars, nearly a quarter Of a million.
Now If l can sell this amount, with the same
trouble and expense that other houses sell nfty
thousand dollars worth, it ~ reasonable TO sup
pose that / can sell much cheaper than my COM
~petitors, or in other words, II 1t costs houses
selling fifty thousand dollars worth, four thons-
and dollars clerk hire, house REM, etc, which lis
eight per cent Of the amount sold to cover ex-
penses, while my eXp snses are only two per ct,
leaving a difference of SIX per cent which my
customers get the benefit Of. now ask the peo-
pie who trade in Hazlehurst and Crystal Springs
TO price goods at other houses and then come
and see me, and | will not only sell them their
but will discount any blu offered by other
houses, and give the customer Ia Addition their
beneii of the five per cent. 1 ask you not only
to read the alb owe, but each and every one of You
TO bpy your goods from me and take home your
five per cent in cash and lock itup for the bene-
1T of your wives and children; and should you do
this tor ten years you will find that you have
saved one million dollars, Ole third as much as
day; nd should you oil put 1t in bank together
it would give you more capital than any bank IN
the south, and sufficient capital TO control all
the cotton raised in this county, and make tne
SINNERS pay your price for it. If you will look
back to the first year after the war lnd had such
an offer been made sou, and had you accepted II,
YOU might To-Day start Il bank in this town with
enc million, tve hundred thousand dollars capt
tai. | think then | have convinced all reasonable
persons that the above can be accomplished. l
will also offer inducements in dlspOSing Of your
Cotton, as / handled more cotto1 last season thGa
any other house on THIS road, and | clu there
fore make EIore liberal arrangements with fac
tors 10 New orleans tna1 can be made by houses
lppiag iesS. I can also Offer tie highest uash
price tor all COW hides, as | need them 10 Suppiy
ny tan yard. VIII sell baggins and ties 10 those
WAC dcl VITA me at New orleans prices, with
fIeight aided.
Come and see me, II goods are fresh.
Respectfully,
4. 4. WARE,
6aaztehursf, Miss.
