Rev. Scarrett preached an interesting
sermon on music Sunday night 1t was his
last sermon in the church year aud he goes
to Mt. Vernon to-day to attend the con-
ference and may be assigned to some other
place before another Sunday passes. He
prefaced his SERMON with an expression OF
satisfaction at his pastoral experience in
this community and Of regret at his pos
sible departure. The conference will be
in session over next Sunday, therefore,
there will be no services in the Methodist
church on that day. II is not certain that
Rev. Scarrett will be removed from Cairo,
in fact, It is more than probable that he
will not be- He has been here but one
year, and has gained the esteem OF his con-
gregaton and of citizens generally. 1t is
not often that, under such circumstances,
the conference enforces the rule providing
for change every year. There is good
reason to believe that Mr.. Scarrett will be
with us another year, at least

upon these institutions, clear them OF the
hordes of wretched beings who iniest and
