NEGROES! NEGROES! IN addition to my former lot of Negroes, I have just received twenty-seven LIKELY YOUNG NEGROES. Among them may be found a very superior blacksmith, and one male and one female cook, very likely. Also, several fine washers. ironerers and seamstresses. They are offered for sale at the Forks of the Road. jan 8-tf R. H. ELAM.
