For several weeks now, Columbians
have been on the "qui yive" over the
coming of the "Old Jerusalem Confer
ence," which has not convened in our
city since 1888. The entertainment of
the Conference then was characteristic
of the Columbia Methodists and their
sister church members. The hospitality
was abundant and cheerfully extended.
1t will be so this time, too, for the homes
in which the preachers, delegates and
visitors are being entertained were put
in their most attractive attire, and all
the seasonable edibles ESPECIALLY chicken
for this is a methodist meetin, " you
know were in readiness for the coming
of the "watchmen upon the walls of
Zion" BY every token this will be a
most pleasant and harmonious session,
edifying and profitable to the Conference
itself, and the very large concourse of
people who will attend from day to day.
This is the eighty-siXth session of the
Tennessee Conference, and convened in
the First Methodist Church, Columbia,
this morning, October Is, 1899, with
Bishop Charles b. Galloway in the
chair.
This Conference is one of the oldest
conferences III tle cohlieCIloh' anu py
way of distinction is called the "Jerusa-

see Conference Iurnlshed john W. Han
ner, 81, IN the estlmatono some, man

less influential, some OF whom lived and
died as members OF the body, ana Nom

located in Nashville, which IS also the

throughout the whole church its annual
sessions are regarded as important
events.

Alone In a Strange Land.

An army nurse but lately re-
turned from Cuba to Washington
declares that never again will she
go to country who language
she cannot understand, says the
Post. 1t was before hostilities
had come to a definite end that
she was startled one day by the
unexpected visit OF her Cuban
laundress. The woman was in
tensely excited. Anxiety sat on
her brow and sorrow dwelt in her
eyes. She gesticulated and she
talked. The nurse knew not a
word of what she said, but the
pantomime filled her with terror.
The Cuban's hands seemed to
speak of an attack on the hospi-
tal-of wounded men butchered
and nurses cut to ribbons. The
nurse was frantic. She must
know the worst. In the hospital
was an officer very Ill with ty-
phoid fever. She knew he UNI
derstood Spanish. Only in a
matter of life and death would
she disturb him, but this was OBJ
viously a matter of life or death.
She led the Cuban woman to the
bedside and there the story was
repeated. The officer listened
intentlye The nurse held her
breath. The Cuban ceased. The
