A few evenings ago in front of Aunt
Susan Seibles'S pie foundry and Virgini ia
kitchen near McGrath's, II Methodist aud
IL Baptist brother of the colOred persuasion
became engaged in an animated discussion
on the true mode of Christian baptism.
Finally the Baptist brother said as u
clincher:
'Now, Brer Jones, leme give you Il
Illustration. 'SpOsen Il man WIS ter die
and yer WIS to lay i'm on top er der groun'
an sprinkle duss on 'im-would yer call

The Mississippi Conference at present
consists at about one hundred aud fifty
travelling preachers, eight superanuat's
IA number of local preachers supplying
pastoral charges and twenry-eight lay
delegates. There are eight presiding
Elders districts, covering that part of the
Mississippi, south of a line running irrcS-
ulaIlN dCTOSS INC SlHlc u IL HIlICS b'i'h
of Canton and all of Louisiana east of
the Mississippi river excepting New Or
leans and Baton Rouge. According to
the minutes of the last annual confer.
cuce, the number of Methodist cOmmun-
icants in this territory was about 30, 900.
The LEADER goes to press too early in
the session to make full personal mention
of the membership, but the folio wing
items Cleaned from II cursory study of the
minutes may please the curious in such
matters. Of the one hundred and fifty
preachers belonging to the conference,
there are eight pairs of brothers, aud SIX
pairs OF father and son. Twenty are sons
and two are grandsons of Methodist
preachers, showing that whatever may be-
claimed or denied for the body of the
ministry, "a goodly number at least are in
the succession. 1t is worthy of remark
also, that while the popular names of
Jones and Brown are well represented,
there is not Il Smith in the entire body.
and this makes it probable that the orig
inal Smith family were all Baptsts.
We hope next week to give synopsis
of Conference proceedings.

presence of mind and smothering the fire
out with a WOODEN shawl.
Mr.. Wm Brewer, the boss grist mill
and gin man, sold his mill and farm to
MriLafayctte McDavid. Would be sorry

Mr.. Haywood Box, who lived : miles
