A FAVORITE PLACE.
The Hill City seems to be a favorite
place with the Methodist ministers for
holding their annual meetings as the
conference has been held in Lynchburg
fifteen times within the last lightweight
years The first conference held in
Lynchburg was in 1905. when the venera-
BILE Francis Asbury. the first Methodist
Bishop in this country. presided.
Bishop Duncan, who Is 10 preside at
the conference this year. is a son of tho
late Professor Duncan, who was well
known in this Sta:o as one Of the old
time professors at Randolph Col
lege. he having occupied the Chair Of Lam
guages at that institution for many years.
He removed TO South Carolina. where he
accepted a similar position with the
Methodist Institution AT Spartanburs
Bishop Duncan was a member OF the
Virginia Conference for sixteen years
from 1859 to 1876. 1t is a rather unique
coincidence that he Is to preside for the
first time over a Methodist Conference in
the very city in which in 1859 he was re-
ceved into that body.
THE BUSINESS TO BE DONE.
The business which will occupy most
Of the attention of the conference will
be the reception Of preachers on trial
election of preachers to clerical orders.
admission into full connection, the re-
ceiving of reports-fnancial, statistical,
and otherwise-from the different churches
of the conference. and the consideration Of
educational missionary, Sunday-school,
and other important church matters.
The business Of the conference is trans
acted under the head OF Questions" and
Of these there are forty-one. The matter
in which the preachers and churches are
especially interested in-the question OF
appointments-is the last business TO be
disposed of by the conference. Every
thing is done, and the minutes Of the last
conference read and approved. before the
appointments are read by the Bishop.
The presiding officer makes the as
signments after a consultation with the
presiding elders. who are generally called
the Bishops Council" or cabinet"

MEET IN THE TABERNACLE.

When the Grace-Sreet Baptist church
Of this city invited the association to
meet with them this year, they expected
to entertain the body in their magnificent
house OF worship. But, the disastrous
fire came, and they will now welcome
them in the tabernacle. This. however.
will be made quite comfortable, and, on
the whole. is very well suited for the
gathering.
Very few deaths have occurred I'm the

ever, some important changes In pas

taken away By the disease which causes
over one sixth of all the deaths in the
world-the disease which doctors call con-
sumption. Consumption has been consid-
cred incuTable, and the medical profession
has never made greater mistake than this.
There is absolutely no reason In the world
why consumption should be fatal-why 1t
should be even serious. 1t is disease of
the blood, and can be cured absolutely and
always by purifying and enriChing the
blood The only exception to this Is the
case where the disease has been neglected
and improperly treated until it is stronger

so weak as TO have lost the ability to recu-
perate. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery will cure o8 per cent of all cases of
consumption if used according TO direc-
tons 1t also cures all lingering coughs,

SHERIFF WILKINS FREED

Urbana, Ohio. Feb. rs. Especial. y This
town is greatly exercised over the remark
able rescue of Sheriff K. =. Wilkins from
one OF the worst forms of slavery known 10
man. He has now fully recovered from the
results of his experience, and talks freely
ana gratefully ol his deiiverer. In an inter
view to-day he said: Il have been n per
feet slave TO tobacco for over twenty-five
years; l smoked from twelve 20 fifteen

and there is not a day passes that do not
recommend No-TO-Bac TO many of the to-
bacco users who ! know are destroying
their lives and vitality by the use of the
weed"
Farther investigation revealed the fact
that there are 900 people living in this
town and the surrounding country who
have been cured by No-To- Bac.

the first To start the good work here, n 5

Since that time we have sold hundreds of
boxes, and every one under q guarantee 10

il may seem, we have never mad call 10

No-TC-Bac not only relieves the nervous
irritation ard makes the use of tobacco
entirely unnecessary, but al the same time
builds up and fortiiiCs the general physical
