Negroes to Hire - - Wanted to hire out by the year several likely Negro men, good farm hands. For further particulars apply at Miller & McCarty's store or James P. Summers' plantation 10 miles west of Liberty and 5 miles north of Kansas City. (Researcher's note: 10 miles west of Liberty and 5 miles north of Kansas City places Summers' plantation in Pettis Township, Platte County, and northeast of Parkville, Missouri.
