Gathering Of Methodists Of White River Conference At Paragould Bishop Hoss Appoints Inves- tigating Committee Off
 cers Elected.

Paragould, Dec. B. The White river conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, convened in annual session at the Methodist church in this city this morning at g o'clock. Paragould is a prosperous and pro- gressive place and will entertain the conference in most hospitable man ner. This is the third time the con- ference has been entertained here. The preachers and laymen are always glad to come.
 Bishop E. E. Hoss, one of the most intellectual men and strongest preach CTS in the South, opened the confer ence with religious exercises. This IS the fifth conference over which he has presided since his election to the bishopric last May. He has given very general satisfaction thus far and promises to be one of the most popu- lar of the ten active bishops of the church.
 Dr. z. T. Bennett was elected secre- tary and w. M. Wilson, N. E. Skinner, s. H. Babcock, Jr., and F. M. Daniel assistant secretaries.
 Helena and Paragould districts made splendid financial reports. Both these districts report all assessments order ed by the conference paid in full.
 The pastors of the various churches of Helena and Jonesboro districts had their characters passed and made their reports, which were perhaps on the whole the best ever reported in these districts.
 The character of Rev. R. R. Durham was arrested and a committee of three were appointed by the bishop to make investigation of charges and report to the conference as early as convenient.
 The bishop appointed the committee for the trial of Rev. E. H Wallis, who has been under suspension from the ministry for about three weeks on the charge of falsehood.
 One of the most noted men among l OlG Q6IG&dbSB 1S IOSN. GoO+ DIlu6AS1d of Widener. This venerable preacher was born May 4, 1901, ill North Caro- I lima. After reaching manhood in his native state he emigrated to Georgia, l where he resided for number oi years, there meeting and wedding his first wife. He came to Arkansas thirty four years ago and has resided in Izard county. He is local preach CT, and one whose name, when called, is pronounced by the bishop, "char- acter good" without questions being asked or danger of arrest. This pat riarch, who has lived in two centuries, speaks with strong voice and can recount story after story of bear hunts and the pursuit of deer in Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas. His favorite sport has been the chase of the deer and his eyes flash with new life when he relates his greatest triumphs with l his rife.
