ERs.

Cotton Factorage business as usual,
and as the opening of another sea-
SON approaches, we desire to remind
our friends that we are now, as we
have been in the past, prepared to
handle all cotton consigned to us.
Vicksburg has quite a reputation as
cotton market, especially for Ben
der cottOns, and is unsurpassed as a
Long Staple market. We believe i'm
good prices for this crop, and shall
use every effort to obtain the high
esk market values. Our Mr.. C. o.
Willis will give his strict personal
attention to the selling of the cotton
and we will endeavor to give every
one entire satisfaction.
Yours very truly,
