Transcribed from the page image and checked against the original; spelling and punctuation are as printed, and words broken across lines are rejoined. The trailing printer's code at the end of the notice is omitted. Capital letters are also as printed: papers set the first line of each ad in capitals, so the capitals stop wherever that line ended, sometimes in the middle of a word.
