SUMMER RETREAT.

| AT THE SIGN OF THE RISING SUN, TUSCALOOSA NV HE proprietor of the CITY-HOTEL N returns his sincere thanks to his former customers, and solicits continuance of their favors; also requests the public, generally, to | give his house a trial, and although he may
 have no spirits for sale, he would not be un- derstood thereby to prohibit those favoring him with their patronage from the use thereof, | or from keeping their rooms supplied with | them honest and obliging servants will all
 ways be at hand to execute any commands
 which the wants or comfort of guests may re- quire. This establishment and servants be- | ing the property of the subscriber, he ex- poets to continue the business permanently,
 (unless an opportunity to sell should offer), and being pleasantly located in the centre of
 business, and in its construction one of the most convenient, its advantages are surpassed by no other house in the city. The rooms are large and well ventilated, which render them very pleasant and healthy in summer, and very convenient at all times The un- paralleled health of our city and surrounding country, having for years been so good, that
 we can with great propriety invite persons who wish to find healthful retreat, to spend the summer with us We have a Mineral Spring, two miles from the city, to which ma ny have resorted during the two last summers, who all speak highly of its benefits to their health. To such this house would be plea sant home, as it has suits of apartments in entire private situations for the accommoda- ton of families, with private tables to such as prefer them. The proprietor hopes his ex- ertion to please will render his house plea- sant residence to such as favor him with their | patronage.
 | To this establishment belongs very exten- tahl al ctp nit | the best of provender, and attended by ho- nest, industrious, and skilful ostlers, with a convenient tot for droves, Slc.
 | Notwithstanding my expectation to be per | manent in the business, owing to the conhne-
 ment, 8Sc., am disposed to sell out the es- | tablishment, but the business being profita-
 ble one, will by no means neglect the vigilant prosecution of it, because am offering to sell,
 but will rather be more attentive than other
 wise. This establishment affords also one of
 the best stands for merchandise in the place,
 and has very fine finished rooms for that hu-
 siness, attached to which is a very fine watre
 proof cellar.
 As do not propose selling for the purpose
 of raising money particularly, will extend
 the credit to great length of time--the mo
 ney being well secured, and the interest paid
 annually.
 also, have several tracts of land, and some
 lots in this place, which I would sell on very
 extensive credits JOHN MEEK. march 16, 1881, 50.

 sfpayV runaway about the first of No vember last, from the possession of Joseph Pickens, living in the Big Cove, Madison county, Ala. (from whom l purchased him after he was decoyed off, or had absconded,) ) a likely negro man named JACK, aged a. bout 35 years; above the usual size, being both stout and tall; very bow-legged; of a dark complexion approaching to yellow no scars or distinctive marks recollected; is a smart negro, and talks boldly, fluently and well. The said negro was seen in Mobile on the 1st of this month, and by an advertisement in the Mobile Patriot of the following day it appears that he had then left the possession of one Todd, by absconding. The said negro formerly belonged to d certain Cornelius Todd, who sold him to Jno. Hardie of Whites burg, by whom, after an undisturbed possess sion of 12 months, he was sold to the subscri- Der, who afterwards sold him to said Pickens, but subsequently purchased him again. The sad Food always refused to execute bill of sale for the said slave to MT Hardie, and left this part of the country about the time the ne- gro disappeared, but afterwards returned;- he has however been gone from this county for about 3 months past. Under these cir cumstances, the strongest probability exists that the said Cornelius Todd has enticed said negro away.-The above reward will be paid for the delivery of said negro to me living a. bout 2 miles Northwest of Ditto's Landing, or 7qventy.fve Dollars if he is secured ir any jail in this State so that get him again.

have so repeatedly reminded my riends and the public, of the necessity of thei lend ing liberal support to the establishment, that were to continue the call-withor an a. pology,- ,--it would seem to carry tone com plaint with it. This is far from my intuition; it would be treating generous and iberal public with great injustice and ingraitude. The support has been beyond my epecta- tions but at most it necessarily mustbe in- considerable in a town of the age and imted population of Tuscaloosa.
 believe all will admit that Book and Sta tionary establishment is an important acqui- sition to our town, and permanent bneft to the country-and such will permit ne again to remark, that its present success, until our public institutions are further advanced, re- quires all the support that the liberal ad well wishing can bestow.
