From the Columbia District Directory
LOYe-Feast.

The Conference Love Feast was
a grand thing. It was conducted
by that veteran soldier of the Cross
DR.. Jno. B. McFerrin. 1 hardly
know how the Methodist machinery
would work without DR.. McFerrin.
So have said to myself in other
days, when Drs. Baldwin. Erwin,
Green, Pitts and Madden joined in
the counsels of Conference. Still
the truth remains, "God buries his
woTkmen, but carries on his work. -
The prophets die, but the school of
the prophets as fuH So similar in
sound are the names of Elijah and
Elisha, that we are not careful in
telling upon whose shoulders the
descending mantle rested When
circling years have passed, grateful
generations may not know whether
it is the son or sainted sire, whose
memory is as ointment poured forth.
What a long list l could make of
the sons Of Methodist preachers who
have joined the travelling connec
ton. So that though we may miss
the old men, the old names will re-
main. And we do miss them. DIR.
Leftwich remarked at the late Con
ference, ct is noticeable how few
old men there are in the Tennessee
Conference" It's true, the almond
tree hourishes almost alone in a
forest of fir trees. God bless the old
men of the Conference.

In the letter of Estelle Vehse's.
which we clip, we hope Old Giles
will see that ladies can be excited
about something besides dress.
They can talk, read and write about
politics even, though never unlady
like enough to need a weapon. So
far as our beligerent ladies are con
cerned, we think our little Ratchet
may rest in peace; for be it known
to my esteemed correspondent that
the only challenge we ever had was
from a gentleman who took UNI
bragg at a borrowed paragraph
which said chat a mans happiness
depended more upon the condition
of his stomach than his heart"
(but now that we have some means
of defense, we heartily endorse that
paragraph). We hope Estelle will
not disappoint Old Giles and others
who are waiting to hear from her
again. We know that she can tel
much that will interest us about
the Centennial.

believed to have been that made
by Mr.. DE Cosmos, in the Legisla-
turc of British Columbia, when
measure was pending whose pass
age would take from a great many
settlers their lands. DE Cosmos
