The wholesale Trade.

The old established firm of Cowan, Nc
Chung & Co. has been, SO long known to
the public that it seems almost a work of
supererogation to say anything in the way
of commentator, but as the seasons roll
around the retail merchants, desiring to
replenish their stock, consult the columns
of their favorite journal and see what this
mammouth house offers for their inspec-
ton, for this popular firm distributes its
patronage with a lavish hand, knowing
by experience that advertising always
pays when judiciously managed.
AS will be seen by their very conspic-
uous card elsewhere, these gentlemen are
receiving a larger stock than ever before
offered to the trade in this section, which
will be offered at the lowesv Eastern prices.
The heavy capital possessed by Messrs
Cowan, McClung 81 Co. enables them tC
purchase their goods from first hands and
by getting large quantities are enabled tc
obtain bottom figures, which involves only
one profit, the advantage of the middle
mems profits being given to their cUsto-
mers. ...
Mr.. James Cowan has been North for
several weeks past making purchases by
the thousand packages, which have already
commenced to arrive and are offered to the
inspection of merchants, confident of theil
being suited in quality and price.

Ahnut Advertising Liquors.

Brother Payne, of this city, writes to the
HoLston Methodist as follows:
"Our city papers very kindly furnish
notices of church services, free of charge,
whenever asked to do so and whenever
furnished with reports from schools and
churches, are ready to publish to the world
the news of Gospel success: yet it does
seem that every earnest Christian who
sits down Sunday morning to read the APP
pointments for preaching, etc., ought not
to be compelled to put into the hands of
his son or daughter, an advertisement of
the place where good wines and liquors are
sold, and where seekers of pleasure may

place in the mountain region of that coun-

Cochran, who in turd, placing his bowels
back with his hands, seized a gun and shot

in the morning and in the Second in the

hearing him in the morning, but learn
that he delivered an able and interesting
discourse. In the evening his subject was
the Contradictions in the teachings of
the Men of Science The point of his
discourse was to show the absurdity of a
skepticism which calls the truth of the
Bible in question, because men who be-
lieve in it entertain different views of its
meaning.
