Land and Negroes for Sale
I wish to sell my Farm in DeSoto County, on the Panola road, two miles from the forks of the Hernando road, in one mile of the plankroad and in half a mile of the railroad, containing 320 acres, on Calf Pen creek, about 90 acres in cultivation. I will also sell all of the Negroes, Stock, Farming Utensils, etc. Being anxious to sell, I will give a good bargain to any person wishing to purchase.
