"Our house is roomy, airy, and dry. Terms reasonable. JOHN BUDDY. WM. H. MERRITT." Mr. Wm. H. Bolton, whose name is appended to the next advertisement, is from Tennessee:-- "NEGROES FOR SALE.--I have again returned to this market, with eighteen or twenty likely negroes. I have located on the corner of Main and Adams-streets. I have plough-boys, men, women, and girls, _and some very fancy ones_. _I intend to keep a constant supply through the season, and will not be undersold by any in market._ My motto is, 'the swift penny; the slow shilling' I never get. "I will also pay the highest cash price for young negroes. "November 21, 1846. W. H. BOLTON." To what uses these "very fancy" girls are put may be inferred from the following advertisement,[R] taken from the "Norfolk Herald:"-- "NOTICE.--For sale, a colored girl, of very superior qualifications, who is now in Mr. Hall's jail in Norfolk. She is what speculators call a fancy girl; a bright mulatto, fine figure, straight, black hair, and very black eyes; remarkably neat and cleanly in her dress and person. I venture to say, that there is not a better seamstress, cutter and fitter of ladies' and children's dresses in Norfolk, or elsewhere, or a more fanciful netter of bead bags, money-purses, &c. "Any lady or gentleman in Norfolk or Portsmouth, who may wish to purchase a girl of this description (whom I consider the most valuable in Virginia), may take her and try her a month or more at my risk, and, if she does not suit and answer the description here given, may return her to Mr. Hill. "The cause of offence for which I intend, though reluctantly, to sell her, is, that she has been recently induced by the persuasions of some colored persons to make her escape with them to the North, in which she failed, and is now for sale.--Apply to the subscriber, in Suffolk, or to James Murdaugh, Esq. or to C. C. Robinson, of Portsmouth, for further information. JOSEPH HOLLADAY." Tennessee can also claim the honor of having such careful traders as Mr. J. S. Curtis:-- "ONE HUNDRED "A NO. 1" NEGROES.--I have on hand one hundred negroes, men, women, boys, and girls, at my depot, in Gaine's brick building, immediately back of Howard's Row, between the Gayoso and Herron House. I have judicious men purchasing in North Carolina, Kentucky, and Middle Tennessee, and will keep constantly on hand a large number. "Persons wishing to purchase will do well not to trade, without first calling to see my stock. J. S. CURTIS. "Memphis, November 20, 1846." The "Spirit of Liberty" contains the following:--
