gotten up by Mine Host Weaver, this
number including several invited guests
not members of either order. These So
cieties never do anything by halves, but
always have the best that's going, and
those who once partak of their hospital
ity never need TO be urged TO accept tho
second invitation.

No. 4, on the Tucker farm, West Hick-
ory, last week, and it is believed to be

WIN. Lawrence arrived home from
his Colorado trip on Monday. He
brought with him several rich specimens
of gold and silver ore from the Hulings
mines, some of which he helped to take
out. One of the nuggets left with us
runs $3.50 to the ton, and others as high
as $3.50. Mr.. Lawrence reports the For
est county contingent in good health and
spirits, and we'll satisfied with the pros
poets. Dick Davis makes his headquar-

slowly but steadily gaining in health.

odist Episcopal church will be held in
the city of Cleyeland, Ohio, next May.
This body meets every four years, and is
the only law making power in this great
Christian organization. There will be
fully 500 delegates, about two-thirds of
whom will be ministers and the remain
ing one-tbird laymen. A number of
important questions will be considered
among these the removal of the time
limit of the pastorate, which is now fixed
at five years, the admission of women
into the General Conference, and the dis
tricting of the bishops, each to have a
certain territory over which he shall have
Jurisdiction.

Medellin, Colombia, S. A., where Mr..

expect to remain at least three years.
Many friends here will wish them a safe
voyage, pleasant stay and happy re-
turn to their native land at the end
their sojourn.
The Woman's edition of the Oil City
Derrick, issued last Wednesday was no
disappointment to the public although
the expectation of something great was
present with all who had heard of the en-
terprise. 1t contained 32 pages of enter
tanning reading matter covering a widet
range of subjects, and all treated in a
manner at once creditable to the 20 or
more ladies who had it i'll charge. The
| typographical appearance of the m am
moth edition was very beautiful, and
there wasn't anything about it that was
not strictly first class. The edition oi
5000 was quickly exhausted, and another
edition of $500 had to meet the great de-
mand for the paper.
