NJ. Boyer for Constable of Clayton and
vicinity. Mr. Boyer was recently de-
feated for denomination by d. A.

The eighty first annual meeting O
the Maryland Conference of the Meth.f
odist Protestant CT ur3h will be held in
baltimore April to IA, inclusive, a
st. Johns Church. The annual con.
ferences of this denomination are of
great interest to the many members of
the church, as at this time the different
assignments of ministers are made and
the reports of all the committees rend-
cred. The president of conference is
Rev. j. M. Sheridan, of Baltimore.
and the secretary is Rev. W. Sherman
Phillips, of Salisbury. The business
OF the conference is presided over by
the president, and the appointments
are also made by him. This Office is an
elective one and is not filled by any
higher officials. The Maryland Con-
ference is rather extensive in the terri
tory covered, as it has churches in New
Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania.
