spectfully request that you provide

I'm doing this we only ask that you
carry out settled Democratic princi-

old way of nominating aldermen by
holding ward or precinct meeting, new
system of holding an all day primary

except the action of this board. Mr..

kin have been working together for

a school Mr.. Atkin simply accepts
his report as final.
The placing of a High School on
the State list changes the appropri-

to be used for the advancement of
the different departments. 1t has
been Supt. Gilpin's aim since COM

that there would be no question as
to the qualifications of the school,
aud in his efforts has been ably as
sisted by strong corps of teachers.

M. e. Church District Conference.

III r. OnurcD DlSCr1ct conference.
The annual district conference of
the Winchester District closed very
pleasant and harmonious session in
this town last Thursday.
The services commenced with the
holding of a missionary conference
on Monday evening, Aug. 10th. From
that time till the closing service on
Thursday night, when an excellent
sermon was preached by Rev. J. H.
Wells, of Woodstock, the interest
never tagged. The congregations
were large, and the sermons and ad-
dresses were all of a high order. The
preachers and delegates were all de.
lighted with Berryville and it warm
hospitality, and many were willing to
hold the conference here again next
year. Marvin Chapel, in the neigh
borhoOd of Berryville, was named as
the place of meeting next year.
1t was the first District Conference
over which Rev. II. p. Hamill had
presided, and he held the reins and
directed the business With the readi-
ness and ease of an old hand.
The lecture on Wednesday evening
by Rev. G. ID. Harris, of Martins
burg, "a Country Psrson in the Old
World" was very entertaining, and
Melted the ladies' committee, who
have charge of the decoration of the
church, the sum of $25.
The reports from the various
churches indicated development and
growth. 1t was stated that the Win
chester District was leading the con-
ference in some fields of service and
not far behind in many others.
The committee of ladies and gen
tlemon, with Mr.. J. ". Gaver at their
head, deserve appreciation for their
untiring efforts to making delegates
comfortable. The pastor of the
church desires to express through us
his thanks to those of other churches
who kindly assisted in the entertain
ment of the conference.
