When Roscoe Conkling was in su- preme leadership in the Empire State he succeeded in placing one of his con- stituents and supporters in a desirable federal position which carried with 1t a compensation of $2,500 per annum. The man was delighted for 1t was year. He retained it for nearly six years, was pleased with the duties which 1t involved, and in a hazy sort of way felt grateful to the Senator.

IN MEMORIAM.

The death of Jesse Al. Mccall, on the
9th inst, carried sorrow to the hearts Of
many relatives, and to q wide circle Of
close and intimate friends.
He was of type of the old Virginian,
noted for their smootbness and polish OF
manner; and which in the iush and bury
of the modern, strenuous business life ia
fast passing away.
Coming at the close of the war to the
splendid estate where Col. Harvey George
had resided, he, with bis charming wife,
for many years dispensed from their
elegant home the generous hospitity for
which they were noted. Though financial
reverses came in subsequent years, to-
ward the evening of life, he did not yield
or complain Of the evil days, but met re-
verses with the same calm and cheerful
spirit that always made him pleasing and
companionable.
One by one the noble spirits Of former
days in Tazewell county have been passing
away. 1t will be well for the rising and
coming generations if such men have left
upon them an indelibe impression.
A FRIEND.

HOME MISSION NATTER.
(MRs. GEO. PEERY EDrroR.)

(MRs. GEO. PEERY EDITOR.
There are 60 many calls for helpers all
over our Southern Methodism, and there
are go few who respond to those calls.
Have we as Home Mission Society any
thing to do in this matter? Our General
Secretary says: 1.-THE Committee on Dea-
conesses have recommended nine young
women to enter the Training School this
year as deaconesses candidates. These
women came from Baltimore, Indian Mis-
sion, North Georgia, Alabama, Missouri
and South Carolina Conferences. Note
the fact that there are none from our own
Conference.
Miss Bennett asks that individuals and
not Anxiliaries respond to her call for
help in furnishing the Boys Dormitory,
london, KY. She calls attention to the
fact that should Anxiliaries respond that
this would be almost sure to decrease the
amount sent to the general treasury, and,
hence, offset the appropriations to other
works needing larger equipments.
Mrs. M. G. Florence, who has been
teaching plain sewing and dress making in
the A. B. @. Home, Dallas, Texas, has re-
signed. This a very important place has
been left vacant to be filed by some one
who Is willing and competent.
Arrangements have been made whereby
great missionary meeting for the South
Atlantic States will be held IN Asheville,
N. O., May 1921, 1905. This conference
will be similar to the one held In Waco,
Texas. Its success is assured from the fact
that DIR. Ward, DIR. Atkins, Mr.. Cain and
Others of the General Beard have 1t in
charge. 1t will prove specially advanta-
geous to the Carolina. Virginia, Hoston
and Georgia Conferences.
