The Champion.

The celebrated Champion cooking
stove, with heavy extension top, wrought
iron oven, alright doors, and many ad-
vantages not combined in any other
patent, is from week to week becoming a
greater favorite. i is ip use by many
of our best citizens who would not ex-
change it for any stove they ever saw.
Hon. John W. Vance, of fernando,
Miss, writes: :" bought a No. Cham
pion cooking stove of you last year; my
wife says it is as good as you recon-
mended it to be, and thinks it could
hardly be better than it is, and should be
called perfection. Scores of Memphis
people have furnished like testimony.
Every one interested in the subject
should call and examine the Champion,
at II. Wetter a Co.'S, Nos u and Is
Monroe street, where they have also
various other patterns and all kinds of
hollow-ware.

MIR. Leftwich's Funeral.

The funeral of the late Hon. John W.
Leftwich was attended yesterday by a
very large concourse of people. All
classes and conditions were represented,
and seemed alike to feel the loss of a
good man and desired to pay respect to
his memory and his virtues. The various
bodies that were to take position in the
procession assembled at the residence of
Colonel George CAN'T, at two o'clock in
the afternoon, and marched thence to
the First Methodist Church with the
hearse containing the remains. Appro-
pirate services were held by Rev, A. H.
Thomas, assisted by Rev. E. C. Slater.
Mr.. Thomas preached an impressive
sermon from the texts So thus every
one must give an account of himself to
God.
The church was crowded to its utmost
capacity and hundreds could not make
entrance. After the services the coffin
was conveyed to the hearse and thence
followed to Elmwood Cemetery by one
of the largest professions ever seen in
Memphis. Hundreds and thousands of
people stood on the streets as it passed,
or appeared in doors, windows and bal
comics, to witness the solemn cortege
The order of march was as follows
Body of City Police.
The Firemen.
Members Of the late Metropolitan Police.
A Band Of Music.
