GROWTH OF METHODISM
All of the Savannah Churches In
creased in Membership Last Year.

All of the Savannah Churches In
creased i'm Membership Last Year.
Annual reports have been prepared by
the pastors of the Methodists churches to
be submitted to the South Georgia confer
ence at Valdosta, which begins Wednesday.
The report of Wesley Monumental church
was read in full by Rev. A. M. Williams,
the pastor, at yesterdays service, but
in the other churches, with the exception
of Grace, in which, owing to the presence
and preaching of DIR, Hinton, no report
was read only extracts showing the most
salient facts of the years work were given.
Rev. Mr.. Williams reported to his congre-
cation that there are SIG members in the
church, Sc having been added during the
year and g. lost by death, removal or lost
by other causes. On the Sunday school
list there is a membership of $50. of which
u are officers and rs are teachers. The Ep-
worth League numbers 40 active and 4 hon
orary members.
The church has four societies. The Par
sonage Society numbers ninety-three
members, and has raised $51.65 during the
year. The Woman's Foreign Missionary
Society, forty -eight members, has raised
$l3S65. Thirty-five dollars and ninety-six
cents and thirty-one members is the re-
ported result of the years work done by
the Hattie Carson Young Ladies' Mis-
sionary Society. while the Juvenile Mis-
sionary Society has raised $49o4.
Up to the date of the report $4,000 had
been raised by the church for all purposes,
but sources of income not then heard from
are yet to have reports made, which will
increase that sum. The trustees have
raised and expended on the church par
sonage and organ $9S3S.4S through the
benefaction of the late Robert McIntire.
A comparison of the membership of
Wesley Monumental church at the close
Of every minister's pastorate will be in

Session This Week.

| Beginning to-day all the courts of the
| county will be in session. The superior
| court meets this morning at 10 o'clock for
the December term, which win last right

| that the session will be an interesting one.
The first thing in order will be TIE
swearing in and charging of the grand

| charge is looked forward to with interest
for many reasons. There have been many
events to which features of courts
charge would apply since the last grand
jury assembled for the June term, sic
months ago.
There are now eight murder cases on
the criminal docket, and in several of them
the circumstances are quite aggravated.
Ihere nave been other events and hap.

OF the grand jury to investigate, either
at the instance of the solicitor general or

to criminal business.

~ terms, opening the first Monday in
each month. There are many papers OF
Importance, probates of wills and other
matters, which are returnable to this

be quite interesting.

november term, but so far little headwav

OF clvH business on the docket Lawyers
ana lItigants in many instances have been
somewhat dilatory, and there have been

county works and Institutions, which they
have had in hand for the last two months
or more.
