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.

MARK ETHERIDGE, Horn Lake, Miss.
