WANT THE CONFERENCE HERE.
METHODIST CHURCHES TO INVITE
THEIR GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
HERE.

An Invitation Committee Appointed
by Each of the Churches Here and
n strong Effort Will BE Made 10
Bring the Meeting TO Savannah.
The General Conference Commit
tee to Meet May 2 to Arrange the
Place of Meeting-Savannah Has
All the Requisite Advantages for
such n Gathering.
The Methodist churches Of Savannah
are making a decided effort TO have the
next general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church for the south held in
this city. The general conference is not
held until 1898, 1t being convened once
every four years. but in order to accom-
plish anything toward getting it here
work has to be done right now.
The general conference is a representa-
tive deliberative body and has to deal with
matters affecting the entire church
throughout the southern states. The com
mittee on arrangements for the next ses-
sion Of the general conference will meet
at Nashville May ?. to take action with
regard to the date and place of holding
the next meeting. Some of the most promi-
nent cities In the south having already
its session within their limits, and as no
meeting has ever been held in Savannah,
the Methodist churches have taken the
matter in hand TO see if they cannot Sc
cure IL here.
All the Methodist churches of the city
have appointed committees on invitation,
and these committees will communicate
with the committee on arrangements. The
Trinity church committee is Rev. J. o. A
Cook, Messrs. +. L. Neidhnger, c. p.
Miller and s Hardy; that Of Wesley Monu-
mental, Rev A. NJ Williams, Messrs. S.
b. Adams, c. H. Carson and J. L.. Beck
that Of Grace church Rev. j. NJ. Lovett
Messrs. w. l.. Mingledorff and II. ]. Spier
and from Marvin church, Rev. j. c. Elan
ders and Mr.. J. L. Christian.
The general conference is usually at
tended by about 400 delegates. -half Of
whom are ministers and the other half lay
men. They are always from among the
most prominent men connected with the
church, and in addition to this number,
many others are brought to the confer
ence during its sessions. II usually meets
that time brings to the city in which
1t is held something like 1900 people.
Ine church always pays all the expenses
OF the delegates and representatives to
this conference, each of the churches be-
ing assessed so much in proportion to its
strength. The committee requires, with
an invitation, a statement OF the hotel
facilities and rates, the location and seat
ing capacity of the large halls suitable
for holdings the meetings, and the railroad
connections and facilities, with the prob
able cost per mile for transportation.
From these facts an estimate is made, of
which would be the most desirable and ad-
VantageOus place from every standpoint
for holding the conference. Savannah can
furnish every advantage in these respects,
that Is desired, and it is to be hoped that
the Methodist churches of the city will be
successful in bringing the next general

BETHEsDA's PHYSICIANS.

Those Who Have rendered Their
Services TO the Union Society.
In his report to the 145th annual meet
ing of the Union Society on Tuesday the
president stated that since the death of
DR. Dupont there had been no physician
in regular attendance at Bethesda, and
suggested the board might be able to
secure the services of a physician who
would be willing 10 give little of his
time to the orphans
In response to this appeal Dr. Sidney
j. Lanier Duffy and Whitaker streets
DR.. J. G. Keller, No. 1903 st. Julian street,
and DIR. J. Lawton HERS, No. 116 Liberty
street, have kindly rendered their pro
fessional services to visit and attend the
sick, should there be any, at the Bethesda
Orphan House.
1t is to be hoped that there will be no
necessity for their services however, and
the institution Will continue to enjoy the
good health that its inmates have had
during the past year.

from Macon where he appeared before
Judge Speer as counsel for the City and
Suburban railroad. Mr.. Osborne was IN
successful in his effort to have President
Johnston of the City and Suburban ap-
pointed co-receiver with Col. Screven.
Mr.. II. e. w. Palmer was present, repre-
senting the bondholder who brought the
petition for the receivership and object
ed to Capt. Johnston on the ground that
he is the personal representative of Mr.
George Parsons, against whom the allie
cations are made in the petition for the
receiver. Judge Speer announced that he
would hold up the matter of the appoint
ment of a co-receiVer until the time Of
the hearing for the permanent receiver
which will be on May l.
Jud$e Speer did not make any decision
to the contested right to control the
power house, which matter is still in
doubt.
1t was brought to Judge Speer's atten-
ton that the counsel for the receiver
Messrs Charlton, Mackall & Anderson

Electric railway and Judge Speer is.N d
an order that the receiver of the City aA1
Suburban should secure different counsel

an had been removed by the receiver. and
that Mr.. George w. Alley had been ap-
pointed superintendent by Col. Screven.
Mr.. Alley was superintendent of the City
and Suburban for several years, and his

Estimating Profits and Losses.

An interesting article is given by an
agricultural paper from a correspond
ent who last year, for the first time,
kept an account of his receipts and ex.
pen itnres, also taking an inventory of
what he had on hand at the opening
and close of the year. He makes a sat
isfactOry showing, aud is well satisfied
with the results, hoping to do better this
year. His farm really did better for
him than his account shows, for he
makes no account of what his family
used from it, and includes in his ex-
penses purely personal matters, as
church and TOBACCO, medicine and bar
Der, clothing and confectionery bills.
1t would seem every way better to kee
all such accounts separately, unless for
articles purchased for use directly in
farm work. Toe proceeds of the farm
are expected TO pay for family and per-
sonal expenses, but they are not part
of the business of the farm. Two ad-
joining farms may be equally well man.
nged and give equal returns; yet the
owner of one may have sew .ral humid
reds of dollars surplus at the end of
the year; the other nothing. If the
latter has had sickness in his family, or
has sent his children to school at dis
lance, or has spent much more than the
other for dress, luxuries or necessities,
it does not show that his farm has been
less profitable than the other. That
which is produced on the farm and con
sumed by the family as much deserves
place in the credit to the farm as does
that which has been sold. Ga the other
hand, the farm should be charged with
all the labor or money expended on or
for it. The rate a. which labor should
be charged is a somewhat difficult thing
TO determine. 1t is hardly fair to charge
what would have to be paid if the work
were hired at single day prices. No
thong ltful man will claim that farms
yield large profits, but it is unwise to
make the business less desirable than
the exact facts show it to be. Probably
no other business furnishes the pro
prietor and his family, if they live on
the farm, so many things which reduce
the living expenses and yet are not al
ways taken into account. The farmer
who retires from his business and
moves into town where he has to buy
everything he eats is often surprised
to learn how large percentage of his
food and of some other necessities his
farm furnished

is due. And this happens whenever the
sheep have been exposed to rain, and
are then crowded in a pen, lying to-
gether, as they are won't to do, in
punches, making excessive heat, and
pressing and rubbing the fieeces to-
gether. A few repettions of this will
mat the wool in punches on the Sleeps

carded these punches break and make

ing, and are only fit for the commonest
use, as for making mattresses. If the
wool is badly cotted, the value is thus
almost wholly destroyed. Another dis
ease of wool, due to disease of the skin,
is the result of errors of feeding, and
this is TO be no iced whenever the sheep
are seen to be biting themselves and
pulling the wool. Sometimes large bare
patches of infamed skin may be seen,
after too much dry feeding on heating
food or of such food as has been greed
lily swallowed and is not digested. 1t
is always to be remembered that sheep
is as greedy as a hog, and the more
greedy members of the flock will drive
the others from the grain trough and
swallow the feed so fast as TO choke
themselves. This is to be prevented by
dividing the grain trough into small
sections by cross bars, so that the greedy
members of the flock may not run their
noses along it and swallow the grain to
injurious success.-TrOy Times.

Two Pictures.

Here we are at Mr.. Browns
farm. Note his fine barns. That red
one is where he keeps all of his ma
chinery. He has everything from a
seeder up to binder. Does he keep
men to run them? Certainly; he is a
very liberal man. Has he got house?
Oh, yes; that little house by the big
barn is where Mrs. Brown stays and
drudges. She will tell you she never
had washing-machine or a wringer.
A few years ago Mr.. Brown bought her
a sewing-machine, as he thought it
cheaper than hiring it )ne; then l for
got to tell be bought patent churn,
which works 80 easy that Mrs. Brown
could churn all alone, without the
mems help. He thinks that is one of
his best investments. Their daughter
ran away last year. Poor grill she was
bright and pretty, but her father was
so hard and selfish she thought she
might help herself and b sr mother to a
happier life.
II.-This place, with the unpretend-
ing barnland nice house, belongs to Mr..
Noble. You do not ask where his
