Quarterly Conference.

The fourth quarterly conference
of the Walhalla Mission, Methodist
church, held recently at Zion, was,
perhaps the most successful one
held during the year in many re-
spects. The presiding elder, Rev. A
j. Cautehn, preached two well-pre-
pared sermons and presided over the
business session with grace and dig
nifty. He has had the love and con-
fidence Of the official board of this
charge from the first of the year.
He is doubtless the most popular pre-
siding elder we have had here for
some time, and his return to the An
derson District is very much desired
by all concerned.
The general state Of the charge
was reported by the pastor, Rev.
Rhett Doyle, to be very good and
somewhat encouraging, while the
financial reports were excellent
even better than was reasonably ex-
pected. H.
