NJ. GAVIN & CO.,
Leading Wholesale GrOcers and Cotton
FactOrs-Suecess of The Cash System.

This is one of the firms that are always
busy. They are constantly filling orders
Tor retail grocers. They do cash bust
ness, and it is done on such a small margin
that retailers find M. Gavin d Co.'S a
specially desirable place at which to make
purchases. There is probably no more
perfectly organized business house in the
city. Its great stock OF groceries, and its
excellent cotton office, occupy the two
spacious stores, 232 and 234 Front street.
The corps of efficient grocery men rank
with the best informed and most COM
petent men on the street, and the sales
they make are among the best proofs of
the careful manner in which the firm con-
ducts its grocery trade. This house is
among the leading operators rs cotton fac
tors. They have all the facilities required
by that business. Cotton shipped to them
is carefully handled, sold at the best price
the market will bring, and settlements
promptly made. 1t is one of the large es-
adjustments whose progress is steady,
whose sales, both of groceries and cotton,
have been very great, and whose proprie-
tors are Of the kind that make it pleas
ure to deal with them. Its great growth
and popularity are tribute to thorough
business capacity. Neither retail grocers
nor cotton sellers can find a better place.

What the ~. Louis Firm Says.

Associated Press kepOrt.l
ST. LOUIS, November 21.-The state
ment in dispatch from Vicksburg that
the suspension oil the Mississippi Valley
Bank at that place to-day was caused by
the failure of A. X. Bonham, of this city,
is denied by that firm. They say they
have no private advices of trouble in
Vicksburg. 1t is learned, however, that
Jno. T. Halpin & Co., of Vicksburg,
Miss, the Valley Bank and A. X.
Bonham & Co. are really one concern,
controlled by the same parties, George Nj.
Klein being president of the bank; it is
also learned that Bonham had been specu-
lating in grain on his own account, and
paid individual debts with the paper of
the firm, Bonham Il Co., which was hon
ored by Halpin & Co., and that Bonham
claims to have done it bv authority. 1t is
impossible to get definite information to-
night, but the indications are that both
Bonham & Co. and Halpin & Co. will sus-

The programme prepared by the COM
mittee having in charge the entertain
ment Of the city's guests from Kansas
City and Springfield and intermediate
points on the Kansas City, Springfield and
Memphis railroad, was carried out to the
letter yesterday, as will be seen from the
very lengthy report we publish elsewhere.
Notwithstanding the rain the guests and
committeeman managed to enjoy them
selves TO their hearts content. The inter
change Of views between guests and hosts
touching the trade that has already at
tanned a rapid growth between Kansas
City and Memphis, was general rather
than specific. From so much Of what was
said pro and con as has reached us, we are
surprised to learn that the Kansas City
people did not at once appreciate the
value of this new railroad rs much rs we
did here in Memphis. They admit it is
the most important road now running out
OF their city, but having already so many
roads have not even yet quite awakened
to its importance as relieving thcm.w wholly
from subordination TO st. Louis. They
appreciated, too, the shorter route to the
sea, but were not prepared for the rcvolu-
ton it, is even now rapidly working in
the interchange Of staple commodities.
Through Memphis Kansas City is to find
way for her meats TO every market in
the South, and she is to find here gro
Gerry market as cheap as either New Or
leans or st. Louis and quicker to answer
demands. But time, and n very short
time, will force conviction of this at both
ends of the line. What we have to do is
10 impress our guests to-day with our
recuperative powers rs people, to make
plain TO them our rapid recovery from
death and defamation, through our new
form of municipal government and
by the pluck and indomitable will
OF our merchants, mechanics ant
business men. The alliance he
be made rs intimate and close rs the fact
OF their trade and situation will permit

enterprises of Memphis. Their sales of

AuRAL cArAKRu-DRAFNEss.

Catarfh is one of the most frequent and important
causes Of deafness, being the factor in fully two
thirds Of all the cxes that come under medical OBJ
servation. The reason for this is obvious, when
take into consideration the readiness with which the
Catarrhal Inflammation is conveyed into the ears
through the eustachian tubes canals which extend
from the middle to that part of the throat stu
ated Immediately behind the posterior nostrls, snd
almost on a level with the floor OF the nose). The
facility with which the disease extends itself into
the ear through this channel is unfortunately but
too often demonstrated. Scarcely any one afflicted
with Catarrh for any length Of time has acute alb
solutey normal hearing. With some the hearing
suffers at first only by spells, the ears becoming OBJ
structed with each accession Of cold but by degrees
the spells Of deafness oftsner and last longer
until at length the hearing remains permanently
impaired. In others the deafness commences
nsiduousy and increases slowly but grsdu
ally, until all useful hearing is lost. When
the aural Catarrh becomes aggravated by cold or
other causes an acute Inflammation in the ear is
cfteu set up, resulting in ear-ache pain and subse-
quent discharge from the ear. Noises in the head
of every conceivable description are also apt to
make their appearance, adding materially to the ex
listing distress.
