Frame Buildings.—Tho business portion of our town are most interest ed in the rebuilding of the west side of tho Public Square, and if a vote was taken it would result in the recom monding to our worthy Mayor and Councilmen tho passing of an ordi nance to prohibit any ono from erect ing a framo building on the burned district. Lot tho owners of tho lots build good, substantial brick stores, or if they do not feel so disposed, let them sell their lots, at a reasonable price, to parties who are now ready and willing to go to work and erect such buildings as will not only bo prof itable to thorn and the business men of our town, but bo an ornament to our little growing city.

McDonnell, Tinner and C&pper -smith. Mr. McDonnell had just begiiri business in Dawson, when tho fire occurred, and being absent at tho time, everything he had was des troyed. Wo hopio ho may share pub lic patronago. . The Unitod Statos Hotel, Louisville, Ky., is convenient to all tho principal churches. A Want Supplied.— Mr. J. L. Sol omon has perfected arrangements whereby lio will be enabled to supply Ico, in large or small quantities, to those who may want in Terrell and adjoining counties. A want of a suf ficient supply of this article was sori ously felt by many last summer, and now that Mr. S. lias mado arrange ments and intends building an ice house, wo liopo ho may bo sustained, and that all who want may purchaso of him. Ho will also constantly re ceive fresh fish packed in ice, and hopes to be able to supipily tho market. Mysterious Disappearance. —On j Sunday morning (Feb. 19th,) Tally j 8011, who livod two miles from Daw- I son, loft his houso, with tho intention, i as expirossod to his sistor, of going to 1 a neighbor’s houso, by tho name of Mrs. Bragg, for tho purpose of getting a young man to tend his mill on Mon day, in order that ho might visit his wifo who was at that timo at her moth er’s in Webster county. Tho day passed—night came on, and Mr. Bell did not return; still his sister was not uneasy about him, thinking, piorhajis, ho had procured a conveyance and gone to soe his wife on that day.— ; Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday fol lowed, and nothing having been heard of tho missing brother, tho fond sis ter, who had boon indulging tho hopio that brother had found his family un avoll and could not leave them, grew uneasy about him, and on Thursday morning startod to mako tho journey to her father’s house on foot, but stopped at Mr. J. Powell’s on the way • side, who took her the remainder of the journey in his buggy. What was her grief, when on arriving there she heard no tidings of her brother. The sad narration of his depmrturo and absence was quickly made, ivhen fam ily and friends resolved to repair to his house, institute a search, and ascer tain, if possible, his whorcabouts. As yet nothing has been heard of tlie missing man, notwithstanding hun dreds liavo searched for him diligent ly in swainpi and field, and in every placo where it was thought a human being could bo. It is tho general opiiuion that ho was murdered, and al though nothing has been discovered amounting to piositivo evidence, still suspicion rests in various quarters,and some arrests have been made. Two negroes, named Tom and Dan, wore arrested on suspicion, aud each ono said tho other had murdered Bell. — Subsequently Tom proved his inno cence and was relcasod, Dan is still in custody, and circumstances point to his guilt. Ho had been in Mr. Bell’s employ, and discharged for some causo unknown to us. Feelings not alto gether friendly existed between thorn, and threats had been made by each one towards the other. It appears that Mr. Bell owed him a small sum of money, aud on tho morning Mr. B. loft his house this negro was seen in tho neighborhood making inquiries as (o his whereabouts. Another witness, a colored woman, testifies that camo to her house and got a cliango of clothing, and requostod that tho pants he pulled off bo washed. Sho also testifies that she saw blood in two places on tho pants. Every effort is being made to clear up tho mystery connected with this sad affair, and we trust many days will not elapso boforo tho true statomont of tho case may be ascertained. The vexed question of tho proper mode of baptism was thus disposed of by “Uncle Ctosar, - ’ a colored preacher out west: “Now, bredren,” said he, “I hear great fuss about deso words, ‘in’ and ‘into ;’ folks wants us to believo dat dey mean ‘under,’ and' dat when do Scriptur’ speaks of an indiwidual going down into de water, de bible mean to say ho went under de water. S’pofe some day Igo ovor to see brudder Solomon, and brudder Solomon wery politely say, ‘Uncle Ctesar, come into de house,’ does any body setose dis here nigger would crawl undor do houso ?” HARRIED.

Avery day demonstrates more clearly that liver complaint, in all its distressing torms, can be controlled and cured without difficulty or inconvenience. It is an obstinate disease, but its obstinacy is not proof against the per tinacious, remedial and restorative operatiou of Ilostctter’s Stomach Bitters. That geni al corrective compel, the organ to do its duty. It must secrete regulaily and healthfully un der the influence of the Bitters. Their ac tion brings it back from a state of rebellion into pci feet harmony with the laws of health. If there is costiveness, it disappears ; if there* is side-ache or back-ache, it ceases ; if the skin and the whites of the eyes are tinged with superfluous bile, they recover their nat nrnl hue ; if the appetite is gone, it returns i if the digestion is impaired, it is restored ; in brief, whatever the symptoms of the com plaint may be, and whatever the phase it has assumed, a cure is certain. Such are the uuiform this preparation where bil lions disease has been already developed ; but in cases where there is merely a constis tutiunal tendency to liver complaint, it may be prevented throughout life by the regular use, in small quantities, oj this palatable an tidote. These are proven facts, and should bo seriously pondered—or rather, they should be promptly acted upon—by all pet sons of billious habit. BEADY, AIM. FifiE I Oil, yes !
