Tallapoosa Times [Dadeville, AL], July 12, 1860
Tremendous Excitement.
W.F. Higgins & Co. have established a regular Gun and Pistol Factory, on the corner opposite the Baptist Church in Dadeville, Alabama. They will manufacture Rifles, Shot Guns with both single and double barrels, and Pistols of every variety. All their work will be Warranted to be the very best kind, or no charge will be made. Their experience justifies them in saying that their work cannot be surpassed in the South. Particular attention paid to all kinds of Repairing, which they warrant to be done with neatness, durability and dispatch. They solicit the patronage of the public, and ask a trial from all.
