CLOSING OUT
NEGROES FOR SALE
AND
HOUSES FOR RENT
The Corporation charging more than I am able to pay for license, having been totally raised to about eight hundred dollars, including auction and negro license, brought forward by one of our city fathers in the same business as myself, so I have been told, but it is immaterial who was the originator of the outrageous tax, I for one, cannot pay it, therefore I wish to change my business, and will sell all the negroes on hand low for cash, viz:
JOHN aged 24 years
BILL aged 20 years
PHILLIP aged 25 years
MARY aged 37 years
CATHERINE aged 19 years
FANNY aged 14 years
HARRIETT aged 14 years
CAROLINE aged 11 years
The above consists of field hands, house servants, &c. I wish also to rent the houses I occupy on Court Square.
