lNOh some ume5 the Undersigned has


been paving the way for an animal
publication, in book form. that should be
particularly adapted to the wants Of busi-
ness community; one in which Merchants
and others might publish their cards, at
cost comparatively insignificant to each;
but forming, in the aggregate, a sum suffi-
cient to justify the publisher in devoiiug
the attention requisite TO insure a wide
extended circulation in the states where
their principal business may lie, and, at the
same time as permanent as extensive.


At first an almanac was published, to
which advertisements were from yoar TO
year appended until my Southwestern AL
manac for 1886 contained ten pages of ad-
verIisements from New Orleans, Natrhez,
VicksLurg and Columbus, with a circulation
Of about 5000. Now, for 1887, more ad-
vertisements are already received, from
New Orleans, Natchez, Grand Gulf, Port
Gibson, Vicksburg, Satartia, Manchester,
&c, &c. Owing TO this increase, and the
prospect of more, an edition Of at least
10000 will be published in October, under
the name of


YOSE'S SOUTHWESTERN DIRECTORY,


FOR 1887.


An almanac will lie attached, and useful
information inserted in order to secure Il
PERMANENT circulation, and copies Of the
directory, (of which sales Of several thou
sand have already been made in advance, J
will be distributed to all places where ad-
verlismcnts are made; besides free circu-
lation of about 1900, to every post Office
and printing Office ofthe Southwest.


The undersigned will be at the following
named places on the days specified, viz:


AT the city of Natchez, Albums county,

Gentlemen a., or near the places above
named, wishing to advertise in the Drccto-
ry, will please put their letters in the prop
or post Office, before the dates above given

Gulf, or New Orleans, prior to October
18th, will probably reach in time. W. II,
Fox is agent for this work, at Natchcz.


The price of advertising is 81 per line;
and although banks, &c. will he cursorily
noticed, their heads will do well to send
advertisements in full, which will lhcn be
known to lie authentic.


Insurance, Packet and other companies,
wishing their advertisements widely spread,
will do we'll to have conspicuous advertise
ments in the Directory. In favor Of collie
ges, academies, &c, deduction cf so per
cent. will be made on the cost Of advertise
ing, after the first s..


Lawyers and physicians advertisements
will generally be charged s., and will be
suitably displayed.


Thus it is that every one can have his
name and business in a Directory, every
year alta small expense, and with more
profit 20 himself and convenience to those
wishing TO transact business with him, di.
rcctories because of the immense circula.
ton. 1t is hoped and expected that, ii
