We heard that Bob COLLIER the darky that killed Charles DIXON and was found insane

reports that Festus was considerably worked up, Monday, over evidence of
an assassination and concealment of the body. Plenty of
blood was found, which was traced some
distance, but no body was found, and up to Tuesday morning no person was
missed, hence there is a great mystery about it.
Mrs.
VOLLMAR and the KLEINSCHMIDT's started for Antonia,
last Sunday morning and on crossing the bridge at the HAMRICK place
the tongue became detached from the caroche. It was luck
that the accident occurred where it did. If it had happened while going down a
hill there is no telling what the consequences might have. An hours delay was all the damage done.
On account of
change in my business I am now selling my whole stock of goods at
cost. Those wanting anything in the line of Saddlery and Harness should call at once. H.

Peter BARTON, of whose escape from jail we made brief
mention last week, came back and surrendered himself the same night. The
Sheriff's daughter, Miss JENNIE, went into the jail with BARTON's supper, when he threw her to one side and
ran out. She at once raised the alarm but it appears that only one man, T.B.
MOSS, made any effort to catch him. When he came back he
reported that he had
been pursued all night by spooks and could not stand the racket
any longer.
Some subscription hats are being circulated among the
Farmers and Laborers Union men, as well as outsiders to raise some money for the
bereaved family of the late Lausen
FRAZIER. It is meeting with success. Having had a small salary in the area
where he was employed, Mr. FRAZIER was unable to lay by anything, and we trust
that those more fortunate assist the widow and orphans, who have been taken to
the house of Rev. Sull FRAZIER where they will be made
as comfortable as possible.

Creator to remove from our midst our beloved brother, Lausen FRAZIER, there-fore be it---
Resolved, that we sincerely deplore the
untimely death of our beloved brother, who was a member of our order in good
standing, and respected by all.

-Consumption Cured-
An old physician, retired from
practice, having had placed in his hands by an East India missionary the formula
of a simple vegetable remedy for the speedy and permanent cure of Consumption,
Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma, and all throat and lung afflictions, also
a positive and radical cure for Nervous Debility and all Nervous
Complaints, after having tested its wonderful
curative powers in
thousands of cases, he felt it his duty to make it known to his suffering
fellows. Actuated by this motive and a device to relieve human suffering,
