The New Pastor.

A kindly note froln Rev. Thos. Har-
wood, superintendent Of the M. E.
church missions in New Mexico, informs
the New MEXICAN that the Rev. G. j.
Mills, late professor in the Albuquerque
college, has, by invitation of the Method.
ist people in Santa Fe, been appointed
pastor of this church here. Mr.. Mills
came to New Mexico about two years ago
IN search Of health. Thinking himself
nearly we'll he accepted the professor
ship of the Albuquerque college at the
beginning Uf the school term in 1888, and
notwithstanding his hard work in the
school, he has gradually grown stronger
and is now quite recovered. The profes-
sor's last pastoral work prior to coming to
New Mexico was Waterville, Me-, where
he had church membership of some 400
persons, large Sunday school and a
sa'ary of $1,000 and parsonage. If Mr..
Mills can only retain his health, the Santa
Fe people may well congratulate them
selves In securing his services as pastor OF
their flock and people.

Hon. VIM. L Wilson.
[From the Greentrler 1ndependent.l

lEIOul LIlc NTe0ubIleT independently
The speech of this distinguished.
orator and statesman at the Fair last
Thursday, was in keeping with his
high reputation and was greatly en-
joyed by all who heard it. Prior to
his arrival, the question on every
tongue was-will BIr. Wilson be here !?
aud on the grounds, when it was
known that he had arrived, there was
a rush for seats in the grand stand,
all being anxious to hear him. But
few men in public life to-day seem to
have a stronger hold upon the conf
dence. and good opinion, we might
say, the affections or the people than
VIM. l.. Wilson. His abilities com
mand their admiration whilst his char
acter and unsullied record secures for
him their fullest trust and confidence.
When here last week he had just
returned from trip to the North
west and was suffering from hoarse-
ness and severe sore throat, but
Notwithstanding this he spoke with
his usual eIoquence, fuency and
power, and held his large audience
in the closest attention.
The leading object of his speech,
as we understood it, seemed to be TO
impress upon the farmer the idea that
in these days of eager competition
from every direction and in every
line of business, it behooves him to
study well the means and laws of
production, the facilities for trans
portion, the competition at home and
abroad and the principles and meth
DDS by which prices are fixed and the
markets governed, and, above all,
that be should so direct his efforts
upon the farm as to produce the best
possible results whether in raising
grain or stock. Dir. Wilson elabo-
rated and illustrated this point so as
to make it clear that intelligence upon
the farm, close observation of the
principles, laws and methods of pro-
duction, accurate knowledge of the
laws of trade and conditions at home
and abroad were as essential to the
success of the farmers and stock
raisers of Greenbrier as to the man
ufacturers of New England. The
speech showed Mr.. Wilson to be a
close observer of passing events and
careful and thoughtful student of
economic principles.
In concluding his splendid address
the speaker produced the widest ap-
plause. when in an eloquent perora
ton. he reminded the people, that,
after all, the great object in life was
not to make money but men-intelli-
gent, honorable, high-minded men,
who knew their duties and will al
ways maintain their rights, and qco-
naen-noble, pure and virtuous wo-
men who will adorn the society in
which they live and stimulate their
sons to noble deeds.
