WAYNESBORO, Ga, Dec. 6.-The 4Sd
session of the South Georgia Methodist
conference came to a close Monday at
ternoon with the appointments of the pas
tors to their pulpits for the coming year.
The appointments have attracted I'M
usual interest this year as there were so
many fourth year pastors in the confer
enee. This necessitated the filling Of
many important pulpits with new preach

emergencies in his usual style with the
result that all are pleased.

leyan Female college as president while
]. w Malone goes to the Andrew Fee
male college as president.
