Davenport. The Democrat says that
yesterday a conference over the call of
Rev. j. 6. Merrill by the Hyde Park
Congregational -church, was held in the
parlors of the Congregational church here.
There were present, Rev. DR.. Salter, of
Darlington, Rev. DIR. Roffns, Of Musca.iue,
and Rev. Mr.. Smith, of Wilton. The go.
ciety was represented by Mr.. George Ca
bic, Mrs. George Wing, Mrs. D. Z Jones,
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. GoIdsbury. who pre.
sented the cause of the church Mr. |
Merrill. as is usual with such trials. repre-
sented bis own cause. The result is. that
Mr.. Merrill is to remain with the church
here, the judges deeDing that he can do
fully as much good here as he can at
Hyde Park, while there. isn't discordant
feeling IN the entire congregation here.
This probably settles the questionable.
Merrill will remain. Goodl
