FULL ASSORTMENT OF GOODS.
The attention of the trading

I now have and will keep con-
stantly on hand, at the old and 
well-known stand of FOSTER 
ROBINSON, in the town of MIN-
DEN, LA, a full and complete

sell me, with similar quality of 
goods. I will keep on hand both 
DRY GOODS and GROCERIES, 
and CHOICE LIQUORS, and 
PURE WINES; and PLANTA-
TION SUPPLIES generally, in 
and quantity that may be desired.

people may want, and which may 
be expected to be found in thor-
ough and well-supplied DRY

lishment, can be had at my store. 
Call when you come to Minden. 
I charge nothing for showing

merate every article I have for 
sale. Come and see for your-
selves, and I think yon will not 
be displeased the eitheir the 
QUANTITY, the QUALITY, or

For Sale, 
The fine and commo-
dious FAMILY RESI-
DENCE lately occupied 
by Foster Robinson, in the town of 
Minden, is for S A L E. Its lo-
cality is sufficiently retired, and 
yet close enough to the business 
part of town. It is altogether the 
finest residence in Minden--two 
stories high, with pillar front, and 
all the rooms well finished--and 
all necessary out-buildings in good 
condition. Minden is one of the 
most healthy locations in the State, 
has good society, and excellent 
Church and School facilities. The 
Female School is as good as any 
in the State. 
For particulars as to the terms of 
the S A L E, call on the under-
signed, at the store house, formerly 
occupied by Foster Robinson, in Minden.
