For Sale. MY lot at Bovina, Miss., containing ten acres, on which is a neat co tage, with four rooms, kitchen, store-room, and servants' room, one good cistern, garden newly paled in; also, one acre fenced off, with a good pond of water; Stable, Corn Crib, Fodder House, Buggy House, &c. I will also sell a Negro Woman and two children, the woman 26 years old and very likely, good cook and seamstress, and one of the best washers and ironers in the State. Any one wishing to take charge and build up a permanent school will do well to buy this property, being only forty yards from the School House, with good prospect of a large school. Address me at Bovina, Miss. W. M. BULLOCK. oct9-d2tw4w
