The annual session Of the Louisville
conference, Methodist Episcopal church
South, will be held at Columbia, KY,
beginning Wednesday, October 1. The
conference will continue about a
week. Bishop Morrison will preside
and there will he anumber of address
es by prominent divines in attendance.
A large amount of routine business
will come before the conference, but
the principal feature of general IN
terest will be the assignment of min
listers for the coming year. In Louis
willie there are several ministers who
have served the four years allowed at
one place, and must thereafter be
changed. Others may change Tor
various reasons. and there will prob
ably be- several new faces in Louis
Vile pulpits after the conference.
Among those who have served four
years are the Rev. ]. W. Moore, OF
the Fourth avenue church. and the
Rev. U. G. Foote, of the Chestnut
street church. 1t is generally under
stood that DR.. Moore will go south,
and wnere Dr. Foote will go is mat

Messick, presiding elder of the Louis
willie district, has not been there four
years as yet, and it is not thought
that he will be changed.

Stop to calculate how much
money you spend foolishly?
Suppose you do it and then
make up your mind to put
this amount in bank for
few months and see how
much you will have. Just a
dime a day amounts to $50. 80
a year and most Of us spend
several times that amount.
Let us make you a PROPOSE
ton. Suppose You come get
one Of our Home Savings
Banks and drop your odd
change in, say a dime or two
dimes, a day, and let us pay
you interest on it. In a few
months you will have q nice
bank account, and you will
have formed the savings habit
and started we'll on the road
TO riches.
We pay interest on your de-
posits and are as anxious to
get the small accounts as the
