very little fufiness.

A number of Kansas retail mer-
chants have signed an agreement TO
buy no goods through drummers.
an some respects the system is a
convenience" they say in circular
sent 10 Chicago and st. Louiss firms,
tbut your agents occupy too much
of our time, and are too little dis
posed to take ''nO' for an answer
We find that they force themselves
and their goods upon US, and have
decided to make a stand against
them" Notwithstanding the fact
that there are numerous business
houses scattered broad cast through
out these United States, which are
ably represented by trustworthy
and polite and matchmaking drum
mers, they are annually crippled,
more or less, through this medium
of advertising, and the sooner they
discard this method and adopt the
wiser and safer plan of judiciously
advertising their business through
the channels of the representative
newspapers of the country, the bet
ter they will find it for the reputa-
ton of their houses and theincreased
value of their money-drawers. We
would not be surprised to hear of
the Morristown merchants, as well
IS all the responsible business
houses throughout the State, fall in
70 line at an early day, and follow
-he wise policy of the Kansas mer-
chants, and patronize no house
which fails to appear in its city's
journals.

The cholera is spreading in the
East, and advancing toward Europe.
1t has already made considerable
ravagcs at Alden, and has reached
Mecca, where the Mussulmans are
impIoring their Prophet. Two other
epidemics attract serious attention.
The first is the yellow fever in
Senegal, where the number of vic
Tins has been great; and the second,
diphtheria, which has killed more
people in the South of Russia than
any other epidemic, not excepting
the plague. 1t has prevailed there
since 1872. In Bessarabia, $4,000
out of 10000 persons who were at

of 40, 900 cases, 10000 ended fatally,
and Kharkoff, out Of $4,000 cases

HOLSTON CONFERENCE.

The session of the HolstOn Con
ference of the NJ. Z. Church, South,
presided over by Bishop McTyerie,
at Wytheville, Va, adjourned Mon
day night of last week, after a SEES
sion of five days. The representa-
ton was large, and the attendance
of visitors and citizens daily dur
ing the religious exercises was more
than could be comfortably accom-
modated. Tho reports were all
highly satisfactory, showing the
past year to have been one of pros
perity. The collections were better
than last year, and there has been a
net increase in membership of one
thousand since the last conference.
Two important decisions were rem
dered by Bishop McTyeirie. One
in the case of an appeal, on the
ground that a mans wife had been
allowed to testify in his behalf in
church trial involving his moral
character. The bishop sustained
the decision of the lower court. The
other in regard to the assessment or
division of benevolent collections by
district stewards in their annual
meetings. They have no authority
to disregard or set aside assessments
of the conference board of missions,
but if they assume that authority |

maple and ash combined. The walls
have, however, recently been kalsO-

has been on them so long, and which
now look very fresh indeed The
colors are pale blue, panelIed with
pale pink, divided by gilt mould

measured out medicines and other

had been spIashed and was much
discolored. These spots are now

SUICIDE OF RUFUS McPHERS IN
A sad suicide occurred at Atlanta,
Ga, last Wednesday afternoon Ru-
fIs Mcpherson, grandson of Major
Campbell Wallace, committed sui
eide in the saloon of the Kimball
House by shooting himself through
the brain with a pistol. The par
ticulars, as given by the press dis
patches, are that Mcpherson, who
had charge of the exhibit Of the
Norfolk and Western railroad at the
cotton exposition, commenced drink
ing on Friday and continued to in
dulge extensively until he fired the
fatal shot. Monday night McPher-
son told a number of his friends that
he was going to kill himself. He
stated several times II am done !;
this night will end my lovely
career" Mcpherson gave as an eX-
cuse for having made up his mind
to commit suicide that Major Wal
lace, his grandfather, whom he re-
garded as really his father, having
heard of his excessive drinking, had
written him a severe letter to the
effect that he would disown him for
his conduct. This letter seemed to
bear forcibly upon his thoughts, and
having been cut off by his best
friends, Mcpherson stated, was the
cause of his coming to this determ-
ination. He was drunk at the time,
and those with whom he conversed
gave the mater little attention, be-
Heving that Mcpherson would 90 to
bed and sleep the idea Of selfde-
struction off. The sequel, shows,
however, that if he did abandon the
idea it was only for the moment
and the same determination Ecame
back to him. In the afternoon after
taking his last drink at the counter,
he took loaded pistol out of box,
which he had purchased a few mo-
ments before, and raising the weapon
above his head, Mcpherson said to
his friends standing near at hand,
"See that, and then Ieveling the
weapon and putting the muzzlc to
his head, said ell put here" and
then pulled the trigger. The re
port caused large gathering in a
few minutes. Mcpherson was car
ried up stairs in the hotel where he
died few minutes after.
The deceased was son of the
late r. NJ. Mcpherson, for years be-
fore the war we'll known, popular
and prosperous commission merch-
ant Of Knoxville. He was a native
Of that city, about twenty four years
Of age and possessed fine business
qualities. 1t is authoritatively stat
ed that there was no foundation
whatever for the young mans va
garios as to the determination of his
grandfather. Those who know Mai.
Campbell Wallace know full well his
fatherly forbearance and patience
with those to whom he is attached.
The remains were inferred in the
family lot in Grey Cemetery, Knox
vile, last Saturday, in the presence
Of large concourse Of relatives and
friends.
