ILLINOIS. -Macomb. = This parish
has extended call to Rev. F. F. Buck
ner, of Urbana. He has accepted and
will begin his work there March 18th.
While we are pleased that Maconlb has
thus settled good pastor, we regret that
Urbana will be the loser by the change.
These frequent pastoral changes are I'M
fortunate for both minister and people.
Yet they always have occurred and we
presume always will occur. until new
and better theory of pastoral settle
ments prevail.

begin again. So they called Rev. W. A.

The Y. P. G. U. had two delegates at
our recent State Convention and invited
the Convention to meet with them next

At Monroe the earth revolves little
faster than at other protions in the
same zone. They have started up after
a three years suspension and they are
full of hope and zeal. They found that
all they had to do to have good church
was to want one. They have engaged

usefulness.
ROCHESTER.
This is small town and one without
a railroad, and our cause had nearly died
there. But lately the State Secretary
has preached there twice on week nights
and Mrs. Opdale one Sunday morning
and evening. We trust that the good
work may go on.

Here, too. has been a long intermission,
but they are by no means dead. They
have a fine church edifice and some
noble people. If they fail to do good
work in the future their friends will be
sadly disappointed. The State Secre-

ing to a good audience and Rev. Mr..
Evalt has filled the pulpit two Sundays.

This is but country church, but it
is in the midst of the finest farming
land of the State and it is an impor-

preached there few times lately and
the good work will not be dropped.

Rev. G. G. Conner has taken firm
hold here and the work moves along
nicely. They have recently given Tom

HARTFORD.
For five years the atmosphere of this
fine little city has been undisturbed by
Universalism. But the State Secretary
had the pleasure of visit with them
last Thursday evening. Their church
was sold some twenty years ago and the
money held at interest for keeping up
services. But that has not been done
for long time. The M. E. Church was
secured and the Secretary had an audi
ence of 50 persons. After the service
they voted to have services one Sunday
a month for at least three months.
Mrs. Opdale is to preach there Sun

Twenty Carloads of Provisions and

ATLANTA, Ga, JAM 15.-- The success of
the Nebraska relief movement in Georgia,
headed by Ex-Governor Northen, as demon
strated when the train was made up this

when Governor Northen began to make up
the train he found he had twenty cars, in
Guiding two cars of rice sent by citizens
of Washington, N. c. Heaps of corn, bar
rels of -four, molasses, boxes of meat and
of canned goods were rapidly trucked out
on the platform and into waiting cars. One
of the first cars to arrive was from Sa-
vannah, laden with $780, worth of pro-
visions. Then rolled in others from Au-
gusta, Macon, Americus and other cities,
while various smaller shipments Reached
the depot in good time.
The inventory of the train is as follows:
Savannah, provisions; Atlanta ex-
position directors, one car: Augusta, one
car; Demorest one car; Thomasville one
car; Americus, one car; Atlanta and mis-
cellaneous contributions, four cars; j. G.

coal dealers of Atlanta, one car of coal !;
Seaboard Airline, one car corn: Southern
railway, one car corn; Atlantic Coast line
one car corn; Georgia Southern & Florida

looks now if another train will shortly
be made up, the result of the impetus
given to the movement.
