Negro Hiring 1861.
E. A. J. Clopton,
real Estate and Hiring Agent,
Office corner wall and Franklin streets, opposite
Dickinson Hill & Co.,
Richmond, Virginia.
The subscriber begs to return his acknowledgments to his friends and patrons for their favors during the past six years and would inform them that he still continues the business of Hiring out Negroes.
Renting out Houses, Collecting Claims, and all business pertaining to a General Agency, to all of which he gives his personal attention. Parties in the country who may entrust the hiring of their Negroes to him may rest assured of every attention being paid to getting them none other but good homes and the beat prices, and in the event of sickness, the best Medical and Personal attention shall always be supplied. He has also a large, comfortable apartment, connected with his office, where those servants who are not provided with places to stay at night during the hiring, may remain, with a good fire, free of charge.
Negroes for hire the coming year, had better be sent in to me as early after Christmas as possible.
