NEGROES FOR SALE. I AM now offering for sale at my depot, on Mulberry street, a choice lot of Virginia, Carolina and Georgia negroes, consisting of field hands, cooks, washers, ironers and house servants. Also one No. 1 blacksmith and No. 1 carpenter. I will, during the whole season, be constantly in receipt of large lots of the choicest negroes that can be purchased in the above States, so that all who wish to purchase may have their pick and choice. Persons desiring to purchase first rate negroes will do well to give me a call before buying elsewhere. JOHN D. FONDREN. nov18-dawtf
