The Quarterly Conference of the M. E.
Church met on last Tuesday evening with
Reed, in attendance. After the ordinary
ing new church or re-modeling the old
one was discussed. As nothing definite
was arrived at the following committee was
appointed TO continue the consultation at
convenient intervals: L. K. Wilkins, chair
man; Thos. w. Wyne, James 7. Budd, Fl.
A. DeHart and the Rev. G. Fl. Tulhs
Before deciding this momentous matter il
would be well for the committee to take a
look at the cemetery, so-called. The pres
emit preacher farmed part Of it last spring,
and himself and family have lived during
the summer upon the vegetables raised
there, and now the dying tops of these are
added to the disorder which prevailed be-
fore, until it has become disgrace to the
church, to the town, and to humanity.
