"NEGROES WANTED.--O. C. & S. Y. Harris, of Upper Marlboro', wish to
purchase any number of negroes, for which they will give the highest
market price in cash. They will be in Port Tobacco once in every
week. Any communications left in their absence with Mr. Lyne
Shackelford will be promptly attended to."
"NEGROES WANTED.--The highest market prices will be given for
negroes at all times. Persons having negroes for sale will please
call at my office, No. 26, Conway-street, between Charles and
Hanover. Communications promptly attended to.
"Also negroes will be received and kept at twenty-five cents per
day. B. M. CAMPBELL.
"April 7, 1846."
"NEGROES WANTED.--Persons wishing to sell their negroes will find it
to their advantage to give me a call before selling elsewhere. _I
have all the facilities that the trade will admit of in the New
Orleans and other markets._ Such being the case, I can give as much
as any one else, which I am determined to do. Any communication
addressed to me, either in Baltimore or Port Tobacco, will be
attended to immediately. JOHN G. CAMPBELL,
"Jan. 1, 1847. Agent for B. M. Campbell."
"TAKE NOTICE.--Persons wishing to dispose of their servants would do
well to give me a call before they sell to the traders. By paying a
small commission to an agent, they can get from $75 to $100 more; as
_I receive monthly from New Orleans, Savannah, Georgia, and
Charleston, S.C. the full market prices for slaves_.

"NEGROES WANTED.--I wish to purchase a large number of negroes, of
both sexes, from the age of 14 to 30, for which I will pay the
highest cash market price. As I intend making a long stay in
Wilmington for that purpose, persons from the country would find it
to their advantage to bring such slave-property to town as they have
to dispose of. Also wanted some good carpenters, blacksmiths,
coopers, and bricklayers.--Apply to me, at the Carolina Hotel.
ANSLEY DAVIS, of Petersburg, Va.
