Quitman Banner

November 29, 1867

Capt. James L. Moseley
Our authorized General Agent, to procure and (illegible) for subscriptions and advertising for the Quitman Banner.

Messrs. Culpepper, Creech & Co. are desirous of purchasing 20,000 seed cane. See notice, and drive a prompt trade.

Sweet Oranges
Mr. W. B. Holwell, of this county, laid on our table a sample of oranges grown on his plantation. They are large sweet and delicious. He informs us that he has one tree, which has yielded, the present season, at least fifteen hundred of these sweet oranges. A few dozen such trees would yield a handsome income. Many thanks for the sample presented; and if any of our friends desire to imitate the example of friend II, they will be welcomed to our sanctum.

The Superior Court
The December term of the Superior Court, for Brooks county, commences on Monday next. We learn there are several cases of importance to be tried; and as the docket is pretty well crowded, the Court will, doubtless, continue in session the entire week.

Our Country Friends
Ought to bear in mind that the unfortunate citizens of Quitman cannot subsist on air and water, alone. We are pleased, occasionally, to indulge in the luxury of fresh meats, poultry, butter, eggs, potatoes, etc. Quitman is a good market--the citizens, generally, paying generous prices for produce. At present it is almost barren of eatables.

Store at Nankin
By reference to advertisement in today's Banner, it will be seen that Mr. W. A. Livingston has opened a store at Nankin, in the lower portion of Brooks county, and stocked the same with a complete assortment of every character of dry goods, &ct, and will invariably keep supplied with a general stock of groceries. No liquor will be kept for sale,--and therefore the ladies need have no hesitancy in visiting the Nankin store. The "Judge" is a cleaver gentleman, an experienced merchang, and will deal fairly by all who confer upon him their custom.

Dr. McCall's Drug Store
Dr. McCall has opened in the building formerly occupied by Mr. Harkins, opposite Messrs. J. W. Stalnaker & Co., where his will be pleased to see his old friends and customers. Notwithstanding the havoc made by the fire fiend, he has still on hand quite a neat stock of drugs and medicines.
