After our conference had convened in

1gih OF December, we, my companion,
Elder d. II. Jones. and myself. We're
assigned to labor In Lyon county, Ky,
We left our conference for our field of

travelled along with Elders Pace and
Wallace and on passing Muhlenberg
county we called on Sister Devlnport
We stopped and spent one night with
them and had M enjoyable time. On ar
Tiyins at our field Of labor on the 30th
We found many kind friends who ad-
mihlstered to our wants. We labored
there between the Cumberlin river and
the Tennessee where we found many
warm friends and held several meetings
with them. on the 18th of February
was assigned to labor In Carlisle cOun-
ty with Elder Joseph Later. We made
arrangements to preach in school
house known as the Black school
house. We visited the people and gave
out our appointment for the night and
we gave 1t out in the school. but the
teacher, as he gave 1t out said: II want
to give you little advice These Nor
mons, who are going to preach here are
no good and my advice to you is not to
come out and hear them" The result
was that we did not get anybody to
hear us, We tried two nights, but no
one came. We left there and COM
nonded the work we had done in the
hands Of the Lord. for we thought we
md done our duty. We later went to a
NJ, p. church whore we got the
privilege Of holding meetings for few
Jays and we had good enjoyable time
with the good Methodist people. Then
We went down "a n littla -
as the MCGEE Springs, where we held
meeting In dancing hall and had a
good congregation, We disposed of
some books and held several conversa-
lions with the, people Afterwards we
went to Baptist nelchborhood known
as the Maytlcld district where we found
many kind friends The first questions
lhey asked us was: Where are Elders

ior about ten days and got the people
" investigating the Gospel.
we now hnd to 20 into the next coun-
" TO labor. We mot Elders Bowin and

An Enjoyable Conference.

WHARF Kaka, N. a.. March Z. 1898.
TO the Editor:
1t seems to have been some time
since anyone wrote to the News from
this part. We may not be enabled to
give quite as glowing an account as
some do in other parts of the world,
but we are sowing the good seed. and
ground.
! am laboring in the Walapu district,
where ! have been for the past year,
with Jos. A. NJ. Jacobsen as my senior
companion. We have travelled consld-
erably, and spent a great many happy
hours In explaining the Gospel to our
Maori friends
on the 26th and 27th of February,
our semi-annual conference of this dis
trict convened at uawa with the fol-
lowing Elders from Zion present: Il.
II. Richards; George II. Eyre, travelling
Elder OF Turanga district; Jos. a. NJ.
Jacobsen, president of the Walapu
district, ana Bryant c. Mecham, trav-
cling Elder.
At the opening meeting II looked as
though our conference was going to
he failure on account of so few in at
tendance. However, we continued our
services. trusting in the Lord and
praying for the success of our confer
ence. When our meetings We're called
proved to be too small and a great
many We're compelled to stand out
side, beneath the scorchng sun. An
excellent spirit prevailed and our con.
ference proved to be great success
Elder Richards said he had enjoyed the
gathering better than any other one
yet since acting as president of the
mission, not because of the great mum.
Der which assembled, but of the bless
ings that We're showered upon US by
| our great Redeemer. We can see that
His blessings are still reaching to this
far off isle Of the seas.
Elder Richards spent the balance OF
the week with us, and then returned e
Osborne. We are striving with all
energy for the furtherance of God.
purposes among these our native
friends, and believe that the seed.
sown will in time take root and yield
forth fruits. We have many good
| Saints who think they cannot do toe
| much for the comfort OF the Elders
Many times they have the privilege OF
eating out Of the same dish with oui
Maori friends. and knives and forks
are out OF the question: yet, we nj
ways enjoy our food and feel Thankful
unto the Lord.

ages or bottles retailing at 25 cents
or under aud 4 cents ON those retail
ing above that price. The tax on
telegraph messages will be one cent
on all messages which cost % cents
or less and two cents on all above 25
cents. A duty of 10 cents per
pound is placed upon tea. and 8 cents
per pound upon coffee
Bottled waters are to bear a tax
similar to patent medicines.
