Missouri Stands for Sale. 
It is a fact that tlie lands of Missouri, cheap, fertile, and sit¬ 
uated in tlie heart oftheUnion, furnish an extraordinary op¬ 
portunity for tlie people of tlie Eastern and Northern States 
to acquire rich, healthy, and good farms and homes, which 
opportunity never cun occur again, so near the great centers 
of population. Tlie great territory of North Missouri, bound¬ 
ed north by Iowa, east by the Mississippi, south and west by 
the Missouri River, contains about 25,0)0 square miles, or six¬ 
teen million acres as desirable as any in the Valley of tlie 
Mississippi. Through this garden of Missouri, tlie Hannibal 
and St. Joseph R. It. extends. Its eastern termini at Hanni¬ 
bal and Quincy on the Mississippi, and its western at St. 
Joseph and Kansas City, on the Missouri. Excellent and 
cheap lands lie along side of its track in alternate sections. 
Nature here lias done much, man but little. Tlie climate, so 
temperate and healthy, and a virgin soil, capable of produc¬ 
ing almost every kind of vegetation, invite emigrants from 
the cold and bleak domains of the North, to settle on our 
rich and waiting prairies. Slavery has been tried here fifty 
years, and now Freedom will be tried forever. Let the in¬ 
dustrious and enterprising, rich and poor, come and prosper. 
Circulars giving full particulars and much valuable 
information are supplied gratis to all who wish to come, or 
to circulate to induce their friends to come with them.

HOWE & STEVENS’ 
FAMILY DYE COLORS. 
CAUTION. 
All persons who keep Hows & Stevens’ Family Dye 
COL or.s for sale can be relied on for fair dealing, for the rea¬ 
son that they cost tlie retailer twenty-five cents per dozen 
more than other kinds of Dyes in the market, while he re¬ 
tails them all at the same price; consequently lie makes 
twenty-five cents per dozen more by selling an inferior article. 
We publish this caution to guard our customers against 
imposition. Accept none but Howe & Stevens’ Patent 
Family Dye Colors. They are tlie original inventors of 
an improvement which originated this branch of business, 
and made dyeing a domestic art. They have had, also, five 
years’ experience in this particular business, and have been 
constantly improving the quality of their Dyes. All the 
colors, both in liquid and powder form, are manufactured 
by the undersigned, and we can supply our customers with 
either. The liquids do not require, so much time in dyeing; 
but the powder colors will color the most goods, and cost 
the same per package. In coloring blacks, browns and drabs, 
we would advise tlie use of tlie powder colors in preference 
to the liquid, unless for ribbons or some very small article.
