Women Wild With Delight.

OMAHA, May 26.-The Methodist
Episcopal Quadrennial Conference dis
posed Of the woman question Just before
final adjournment to-day. DR.. Hamilton
offered an amendment to the report Of
the Committee on Judiciary, that the
proposition be submitted to the annual
Conferences, requiring the words "must
be male" be inserted after the words lay
delegates wherever they appear in the
Discipline, and that unless three-fourths
of the annual Conferences and o.thirds
of the General Conference uphold it, then
the law must be held to mean male and
female both. The amendment was
adopted by vote of 241 to 1G0. This
sends the matter to the annual Conferen-
ces, and the men must defeat the women
two to one, in order to keep them out, if
the next Methodist Episcopal Conference
does not vote two to one against the ad-
mittance of women. The women went
wild with delight.
The Committee on State of the Church
In relation to organic union of all Metho-
dist Churches, recommended that the
Bishops report commission of three
Bishops, three Laymen snd three Minis
ters to confer with like Commissions from
other Churches, which the Bishops are
asked to request. Adopted.
Another phase of the woman question
cropped out. It was the action of the
Conference in striking out the word obey
from the marriage service. The matter
came up in the consideration Of the report
Of the Committee on ritual. The discus
sion occupied nearly the whole of the af-
ternoon.
Rev. ]. w. Thompson, in moving that
the word "obey" be stricken from
the service, said he was willing to
let 1t remain If 1t be placed in the service
again, SO as to require the man to obey
his wife as well as to honor and comfort
and keep her.
The vote was SIS to 26 in favor of strik-
ing out the word. The women delegates
voteG for it.

Married the Wrong Widow.

AMERIcus, GA, May 27.--A Sumter
county farmer, having accumulated
some property, decided that he wanted
to get married. He came to Americus
shortly afterward and made known his
desire to wen-known merchant. The
latter agreed to help him all he could and
named over several good-looking
women, whom he thought would make
good and faithful wives. Among others
he mentioned two buxom and comely
widows of the same name.
The matrimonially inclined farmer de-
cided that he wished to wed one of the
widows. His mercantile friend agreed
to do the negotiating and shortly after
ward called upon certain lady and In
formed her Of the honor his bashful
friend wished to confer upon her. The
widow, knowing that the farmer was
blessed with pretty good share Of this
worlds goods, expressed without mo-
ment's hesitation, her willingness to Join
her lot with his.
the wedding. The day arrived and the
license and started for the home Of the
future parteer of his joys and sorrows.
Just here the funny part of the affair came
in.
The farmer had never seen either of
the two widows. Both bore the same
name, and he got them mixed up in bis
mind. The result was that he went to
the wrong house. When he found him
self alone with the lady, be blurted out,
"1've come to marry you"
After moments hesitation the widow
confessed that she didn't care II she did
t.step it off, with him. They according
ly proceeded to apreaoher's house, where
the twain were made one.
A few days afierward the newly mar
ried planter came to the city and went to
look for his friend. He was telling him
of his new-found happiness, when the
merchant suddenly exclaimed with a
groan:
"Merciful heaven, man You mar
rled the wrong widow"
"0b, that DON'T make any difference -
was the reply, "I'm very we'll pleased
with the wife I've got"

AS your correspondent from this place
does not write every week, will try to
give you the news this week.
We are having beautiful weather now,
and the farmers are moving right along
with their work. Cotton and corn Is look
ing fine. If no disaster befall the crops,
the farmers will certainly have bounti-
full harvest. We are pleased to note the
increased acreage of corn. That means
"hog and honiny" at home, something
we have too long neglected.
Mr.. ]. T. Seigler. is still improving.
Last week he was out riding in his bug
gy.. If nothing happens he will soon be
well as ever.
The girls do not seem to realize that this
is leap year. Look out, girls! The year
will soon be gone. You are losing pre-
cio,ts time.
One Of our young men has been going
over tho creek lately. That's it, Mr.. F.,
go ahead; she's daisy.
Some OF our young people attended
the communion services at the Grove
Church last Sunday. An excellent SER
mon was preached by Rev. Mr.. Patter-
son, from Due West. His text was 1st
John, 4:19: "We love him because he first
loved u.s." He handled his subject in an
able and eloquent manner.
Rev. o. l.. Durant has been on visit to
his old home in Pickens. We presume
his many friends will be glad to greet his
genial face again.
Well, Mr.. Editor, we have no marriage
to chronicle at present, but think the
wedding bells will ring soon.
Fighting "Gen. Green" seems to be the
order of the day. His ranks are being
slowly thinned, and if he does not receive
re.inforcements soon, he will be compell-
ed to surrender.

from our correspondent, Mr. W., who
writes from Barnes. He said it was a
noticeable fact that Mr.. John Bowen was
very fond Of his brother at that place. I
am very glad to inform him that is not
his name, and as he is subject to making
such mistakes, he gives one q cause to
believe that he Is the gentleman who car

Mr.. W., If that is the only way you have
