ference, also Revs. Handy and EN-
bry, general officers Of the Board of
Managers.
Rev. Sheen of cairo preached the
annual sermon, at night, to a crowd
ed house. 1t was eloquent, logical
and scholarly.
There are present, several new men
to Quincy and few that are new to
the State.
1t appears to me that Revs Cottrell,
Prettyman, Wilkerson, S Collins, Will
liams and Holmes are jolly good fell
lows and if they were not preachers,
could tell some large stories on winter
evenings when there was nothing else
/ to do. Burleigh, Woods, Chambers
and Cole seem to be full of business.
Perkins, Dyson, DePugh, Patterson,
II G Burton, Sides, Crawford, T A Clark,
and Marley are the sleeping lions,
while J w Ii Jackson, and A j Burton,
are lions with their eyes open Brother
Moss and Lee are sober; the remaining
brethren are o X. Drs Embry and
Handy are on hand and seem to be
fully capable of keeping up with the
literature and the finances
Revs Page, Sexton, (J w Triplett,
Dove and Prof Winston are here tc
