does not appeal merely to the ear on the
ground of mechanical harmony of rhythm
and rhyme-the critic who measures
verse by perfection of sound and the cor
rect order of syllables will find opportun-

ume-but genuine pathos. expressed in
pure and elevated measures, refined SEN

made to say:

To blend heavens high with loveliest
joy of earth.
All radiance of sounds in sea-like roll

any that has been sung in laudation of
our American philomel.
The sonnets are scholarly, and their
grace and free movement show the poets
fine skill in this different form Of poesy.
A few quatrains follow the sonnets, and
they are specially felicitous in thought
and expression. For instance:

Touching Your Honor's charge relative
to contracts let by the county officials. we
find that 1t has been the practice of the
Board Of Revenue to award contracts to
relatives or kinsmen of members OF the
Board; said contracts aggregating about
SIG. oOo. co. and that some Of the contracts
for crawling the county roads have re-
suited rather to the beneft Of the property
of some Of the members OF the Board
than to the public generally This prac-
tice the Grand Jury condemns.

and clear charge given us. We regret
the causes that prevent the attendance
of the Hon. Tennent Lomax, the able
solicitor of this county. and hope that he
will return to us ere long fully restored

special solicitors, Messrs B. P. Crum and

Iabored with us. We also thank Cap
tain Whiting, our bailiff. and the sheriff

Several recommendations Adopted
Bishops and Widows Salaries.
Dallas, Tex. May 24.-Bishop Dun
can presided at today's session of the
general conference of the M. E. church.
south. In order to expedite business
on the calendar speeches were limited
to five minutes instead of Is minutes.
Names for members of the new book
committee were submitted as follows:
o. E. Brown, w. E. Dibbrell, John B.
Ransom, j. B. Morgan, Collins Denny,
R. NJ. Millsap, Paul Whitehead, Jas.
Campbell, j. r. Hindman and Sidney
Bass.
The conference adopted recommen-
dations and the committee named will
serve four years.
The conference ratified the recon-
mendation made by DR.. Tigert, includ-
ing circuses in the list of worldly
amusements that the church member
ship should not indulge in.
The publishing committee recon-
mends that the book agents of the
church discontinue the book selling
business, as the church is sustaining
a loss from that practice; also that
it is inexpedient to erect q new pub
fishing building at this time. The rec
ommendation went to the calendar. 1t
was returned after it looked as if
adoption was certain. It's fate is un-
certain when it again comes before the
conference.
The following annual yearly salaries
were fixed by the committee on epis-
copacy and were adopted:
Bishops $4,000, superannuated bish-
ops $4,000, widows $1,000.
The most spirited debate Of theses
sion was over the question of license
to preachers and lasted for more than
an hour. The conference refused to
make the radical changes recommend
ed in the minority report, but adopted
the majority report which considera-
bly, increases the jurisdiction and dis
cretion of the district conference.
