Twenty-Five Likely Negroes for Sale - - I will sell at Platte City, on the 5th day of March next (1849), 25 very likely choice young negroes, boys and girls, from the ages of 12 to 20 years, from the plough boys to the hemp breakers, and from the nurses, house girls and seamstresses, to the cooks, washers and ironers - The above Negroes have just arrived from Old Virginia, under the best discipline, bought with care, sound and healthy, and titles good.
