District Conference.

Stephen City is an old town locat-
ed 8 miles beyond Winch ester. II
IS built on either side of the Valley
turnpike, mile in length. Its pop
ulation 6 or hundred. 1t is incor-
porated and votes dry all the time.
1t is about i mile from the railroad
and has quickness about it that is
uot only seen, but felt. 1t was for
merly called Newtown, but changed
its name to Stephen City after an old
and popular citizen of that commu-
nifty, a physician long since passed
away. Its settlement dates back one
hundred and fifty years, when the
willy savage roamed in freedom, and
there is an old building in the town,
a relic of that way back time, which
was used as a fort, its portfolios yet
to be seen, where the whites defend
ed themselves from the Indian foe.
In this old town of the long ago,
the Winchester District Conference
of the NJ. E. Church South convened
on Tuesday, the 28th instant, Rev.
David Bush, P. f., in the chair.
Rev. DIR. Cox, of Front Royal, was
elected secretary. Rev. j. l.. kib-
Ter, of Brucetown charge, pren ched
the opening sermon. The attendance
of ministers and Iaymen, though not
full, was fair. The regular routine
of business, comprising reports from
the several stations and circuits, were
given, each minister and Iaymen
responding orally. These reports
showed progress in every department
of church work. Committees were
also appointed on various topics in
cident to this annual meeting, such
as the general state of the church,
educational, etc., and made reports.
Public preaching, morning and
night, drew large congregations. A
special service was given to the young
people, made up of addresses, inter
spersed with sweet singing, and
proved very interesting.

Commissioners of Accounts.
West Side Water Works Muddle,

The action of our West side friends
in repeating, by a vote of their
council the franchise Of the Texar-
kama Water Co.. seems to us a mis-
take as well as a misfortune. The
action of the West side council IN
this matter will certainly lead to
troublesome litigation, which, re-
gardless of the justice or injustice
of their cause, is always to be re-
GREETED. Where the comfort or
convenience of an entire community
is at stake great care should be ex-
ercised to avoid complications or
trouble, WEIGH are the legitimate
results of municipal litigation,
1t is certainly unfortunate that
that the matter could not be ami
cably adjusted out Of the courts, as
was done on the East side under
somewhat similar circumstances.
We regard this as one of those in
stances in which even an Indifferent
compromise is to be preferred to a
good law suit We do not wish
to be understood as condemning the
action of the West side council in
this matter, but simply deplore
their failure to effect some kind of
compromise by which the matter
could have been quietly and sat
isfactorily adjusted, to the benefit,
if not the entire satisfaction, of all
concerned
