CULLEOKA.

CULLEoKA, May 24-Our people at
tended the District Conference at
Mooresville and enjoyed it, The dis
cussion of the various topics were quite
interesting and instructive. The pleas
antries and witticisms, while refreshing,
did not fail to be in keeping with the
subjects. Bishop Wilson presided as
only Bishop can, with quiet, easy
dignity, and a thorough acquaintance
with the duties devolving upon him.
His sermons on FRIDAY and Saturday
we heard, and finer, more logical and
deeply pious discourses we never lis
tened to. He preached again on Sun
day.
The Conference sent out the following
ministers to preach at the neigh boring
churches: Rev. A. C. Couey at the
Presbyterian church at Culleoka; Rev.
w. j. Stewart at Friendship Baptist
church; Rev. Ransom at Bear Creek
Cumberland Presbyterian church.
We were glad to see among the Wis
itOrs our former pastor and presiding
elder, Rev. w. c. Collier and Rev. j. f..
Tinnon.
The dinners, served by those hos
pitable people of the MoOresvlle com
munity, beneath the shade of the trees
at Mr.. Fitzpatrick's magnificent spring,
were such as we never saw before.
Substantials, abundant and well cooked,
sweet things of every delicious kind,
pickles, milk, coffee-oh everything
good to eat! The dinner was surpassed
by only one thing, and that was the
cordial, broad hospitality of the people
of Mooresville and its vicinity The next
Conference will be held at Lynnville.
Instead of the usual Children's Day
service, the Sunday-schoOl of the Meth
odist church will have a song service
Sunday night week.

wires and the young people have very
enjoyable musical concerts.
