Notwithstanding the pressure in
money matters, the partial failure of
the crops and the consequent stagna-
ton Of almost every kind of business,
we notice that quite a number Of sub
stantial improvements have been
made in this place during the past
summer.
Mr.. j. N. Hutson has erected q
handsome two-story frame building on
the corner Of Locust and North sts.
j. r. Newton has put up a neat
story and q half Gothic cottage nearly
opposite Mr.. Hudson, and Judge
Hewitt is building u housO nearly op.
poste Mr.. Newton.
Charles Boyer has erected small
but neat cottage on Market street,
near Judge Hewitt.
David A. Davis has also put up
similar building on Logan street.
Major Br0tton is now making q
large addition to his residence east Of
the Court House. lie is also putting
up business house adjoining, and
intends, besides, to metamorpozo ihe
old "Blue Corner" into n two.story
building. When his buildings shall
have been completed, they will add
greatly to the appearance of Main st.
and bo quite valuable to the proprie-
tor.
Robert Sage has also put up q neat
residence on North street. That part
of town seems to be improving more
rapidly than any other-seven build
ings having been erected there within
the past twenty-five months, the loun-
dation laid for another, and still an
other being in contemplation.
Altogether, We cannot see but that
our town is improving quite rapidly,
when compared with other places.

II you are sick, the probability is that the
root Of your suffering is in the stomach
From a weak stomach proceed dyspepsia
langGor, oppression in the diaphragm, jaun-
dice, headache, nausea, bodily weakness,
dimness of sight, heartburn, cOstiveness,
dysentery, and legion of other torment
ing diseases. Indigestion produces thin
blood, and therefore destroys the strength
and vigof of The system. To restore the
tone Of the stomach, and enable it to throw
