been put in at McGrath S corner, which
will cost him somewhere in the neigh
borhood of sl25!00 OF course it was
an accident, pure and simple, but it

The supply of cottage residences in
Brookhaven does not near keep pace
with the demand. 1t would seem that
good investment might be made in
the erection of neat cottages by men of
means who have their money out at
low interest. The demand for such
houses is ever on the increase, and the
rent they would bring would give
greater profit than money loaned at
low interest. The handsome new two
story cottages being built by Mr.. F. H.
Hartman have all been engaged by
renters in advance of their completion.

Weems closed his labors for the Con-
ference year last Sunday, and the
record stands thus: Under his super
vision were 10 pastoral charges, en-
bracing GA churches. He travelled
5000 miles, held rs quarterly confer
ences, met special appointments,
preached 900 times, besides prayer
meeting, Sunday school, missionary
and other addresses, and never missed
single appointment during the year.
