BIG MOTOR TRUCK
Secured by Palmer Bros. at FitchvilIe
to Carry Goods Between Mills.

A big new motor truck with a ca
pacity of several tons was received
here on Tuesday from Providence for
the Palmer Bros quilt mill at Fitch
Vile. 1t proceeded to the mill under
it's own power, attracting much atten-
ton along the roads.
It is expected that the truck will be
put to use in transferring cloth and
Quilts between the three mills of the
company in Fitchville, Montville and
New London. 1t will carry from 40
to 30 bales of quilts and will furnish
a means of quick freight transfer that
will be something in the nature of an
experiment until it is learned just how
much the self propelled truck can be
used Neither the Montville mill or the
New London mill has a motor truck.

So for as can be learned, there
will be only one change among
local ministers, this being occa-
stoned by the departure of Rev.

Colombus circuit, who has been
transferred to the North Texas
Conference. Mr.. Goudelock is very
among the congregations
of the several churches (which
he has so efficiently served for

universal regret as the result of !

While no one can definitely
state where any minister will be
sent until Bishop Wiiccn an

BUSH RICHARDSON THE VICTIM
Slick Coon Fleeced Him Out of

An unknown negro on last
Monday worked a smooth trick
on Bush Richardson. another

slight clue as to his identity.
Bush Richardson, it seems, had
Just sold some cotton, and had
SlS6.0 90 in his pocketbook. The
unknown negro was standing
near him at the warehouse. and
suddenly reached down and pick
ed up wallet. He told Rich
ardson that the wallet contained
S50O.00, and whispered that if
he'd say nothing about the find
he'd divide the money with him.
The unknown negro then
went off for the ostensible pur-
pose of getting the money
changed. but soon returned, and
declared that it was impossible
to find any one who could change
il. He then told Richardson he
needed some small bills, and
asked that he be given the $l86.00
N his pocketbook. promising to
give him back this sum as well as
of the sum contained in
he wallet as soon as he
;ould get the money changed.

Eminent Divine

Bishop A. w. Wilson of Balti
more spent Sunday and Monda,
in Columbus. as the guest O.
Dr.. H.G. Henderson. pastor o.
the First Methodist church, ant
occupied the pulpit at that edi
flee Sunday morning.
Bishop Wilson has passed his
eighty-ffth birthday, but time
has dealt lightly with him, and
notwithstanding his four score
years he is still hale and hearty.
His discourse was virile forceful
and logical, and he impressed his
hearers as not only being a pro-
found thinker and close student,
but a man imbued with the love
of God and filled with a desire to
scatter the teachings of the gos-
pei broadcast throughout the
land.
The distinguished prelate Sc
lected as his theme: ''All Things
Work Together for the Good of
Those who Love the Lord" and
demonstrated most conclusively
that those who follow the precept
of the text always receive re-
ward from on high. Bishop Will
son Is generally regarded as one
of the leading lights of Southern
Methodism, and Columbians
count them selves fortunate in
having been afforded an oppor-
tunity to hear such a learned
and consecrated man.
Bishop Wilson left Tuesday |
morning for Macon, where he |
went to preside over the annual
session of the North Mississippi |
Conference Of the Meth odist |
Episcopal Church. South, which
convened at that pls se Wedn1s-.l
day. He was joined there byl
Bishop Gambler of Atlanta, who
passed through Columbus last
Saturday en- route to Sardis,
whittier he went to dedicate a
Methodist church recently erec-
ted in that city. After having
performed the mission which
took him to Sardis, Bishop Can
dler journeyed to Macon. and will
assist his distinguished colleague ,
in presiding over the. delibera- I
lions of the conference. II
