RADICAL CHANGES MADE.
 The Little Rock Conference of the Mctho- dist Church, South, has just closed it's session at Warren. Bishop Atkins, of the newly appointed bishops of the Methodist church. presided over the meetings, and in his efforts to restore harmony, and the manner in which he handled the delicate and difficult situa- tion for himself much admiration among t&e delegates. This is the first conference Bishop Atkins has held in Arkansas coming Eere to fill the appointments of Bishop Tigert. deceased. For several years there has been Trouble brewing among some of the mem ssrs of this conference. and at each meeting tAe matter has been aired. But it is thought how that through the separation of the warning factions by transferring to other conferences, 1t has been finally closed to the satisfaction of all concerned. Rev. James Thomas, around whom the storm centered, has been transferred to the Mississippi Conference; Dr. J. H, Dye and Rev. F. NJ. Pipkin to the White River Con- ence, and Rev. J. $. Hawkins, who preferred the charges, has been dropped from the con ference roll In some respects, the appoint ments almost without precedent, and are the most sweeping ever known in this con ference Not single presiding elder who served during the last year was reapponted, and not man among the new presiding elders has ever filled that position before, with the exception of Rev. A, (. M1llar, who at one time served three months, The appointments which have created so much surprise are as | follows:
