SIX CHURCHES IN
 CONFERENCE MEETING.
Representatives from GriswoId, Lisbon, PIainfieId, Jewett City and Preston Were Gathered at Hanover Congre- eational Church.

There was large representative at tendance Wednesday at the conference of six churches, GIisWold Lisbon, Plainfeld, JeWett City and Preston, meeting with the Hanover Congrega- uonal church. The church was beau tiful with dogwood, swamp apple and a desk cluster of carnation. The pas tor, Rev. M- Jabez Miller. presided at the session. The devotional service was led by Rev. Frank Fuller and it's us flowers, songs of birds. this house of God, the melody of uplifting songs and the delight of Christian fellow ship.
 Sermon by Rev. pr. Howe. The morning sermon was by Rev. Dr. s. H. Howe, pastor of Park church, Norwich, and was from the text For this is my blood of the New Testament which is shed for many for the remis- sion of sins.
 We turn our thought to the central truth of the sacrament. he began. For what was it that Jesus wanted to be remembered? Not as d teacher nor for His example. but for the great doc Urine of the forgiveness of sins through the shedding of His blood l; through His death. I seldom hear a sermon about the forgiveness of sin. brought you away from the life and work of the church: this morning we begin at the A. B. c of our Christian ity. The great want of human souls in life and in death is the forgiveness of sin, It is the want of the child and of the sage. One of the neglected truths of this time is the doctrine of sin and salvation.
 How to get bread for their families how to leave their families when they die-does the average man realize that he is a sinner. that he needs for giveness from God? Apparently Dav- ids repentance was needless, Peters cry was in vain, Judas should have put the twenty pieces of silver in the bank. If modern conceptions of sin are correct, men need not have poured out their souls in contrition as Chris tians have done for 1000 years. All this Is mistake? My friends, you can't get rid of sin so easily. It took God a thousand years to reveal His holiness and the necessity of holiness in the creature.
 Try for One Sniess Day.
 Try to live one sinless day. Why can we not hit the mark? It is not a question of sinful acts. we are sinful beings. That doesn't trouble people not gone down to the depths of things Every sin kills something beautiful and tender in the human heart and life.

 Grand Treasurer's Report.
 Grand Treasurer Challenger present. ed the following report:
 Your treasurer would respectfully beg leave to report upon the finances of the Grand lodge for the year end ing April 30. 1913. Owing to donations made by this grand body for the re- lief of our suffering brothers in Ohio and Indiana, the cash balance shows a slight reduction as compared with the report F months back. But it IS just for such critical emergencies that the funds of Odd Fellows are maintained and it is most gratifying to find that we could be of substantial assistance without in the slightest degree ham pering the ordinary business of the Grand lodge. The other increase in expenditure is due to the successful purchase of supplies in large quanti- ties at a reduced figure which will be of benefit in the years to come. The increase in receipts. including $52.12 for interest. is s137.74 The increase in expenditures is $926.36 This in crease represents s450, donated to members of the order suffering from floods in the west and investment in supplies IS reported by the grand sec retary.

DEATH OF Mr.. JOHN BOWMAN.
Committee

John Bowman, a plain but much-res-
pected citizen of this parish, while at
Morganza, committed suicide last Fri
day by shooting himself through the
mouth. No reason is assigned for the
act, excepting fit of dependency due
to old age. He was Woodworking,
energetic man and prided himself upon
working, even after he was almost
blind. One can understand how wan
ing strength and the heavy weight of
the years must have oppressed him
unbearably But in view of his long,
uhassuming and useful life, it is sad
that the end should have come like
this. But God is merciful. HE know
eth our frame, and remembereth that
we are but dust"
The body was brought to his home
at Star Hill and inferred in the private
burial ground, Rev. A. w. Skardon
conducting the funeral service on Sat-
urday.
Mr.. Bowman leaves quite large
family of sons and daughters, and they
may well take pride in his honest, in
dustrious blameless life.

RAILROAD OFFICIALS HERE.

On Thursday morning, special train
over the Y. & M. V. came to Bayou
Sara, bearing party of Illinois Cen
trail officials, who were making tour
of the entire system and getting in
closer touch with their patrons.
Those in the party were: A. H. Egan,
general superintendent; V. D. Fort,
freight traffic manager; C. C. Cameron,
coal traffic manager; Joe Hattendorf,
general freight agent; G. Fl. Bower,
general passenger agent; T, L. Dubbs,
superintendent; P. Laden, superintend-
emit; j. M. Walsh, terminal superin-
tendent; ]. w. Meehan, superintend-
ent; ]. A. Jaquith, travelling freight
agent; E. d. Brown, roadmaster; Wal
ter Byrnes, travelling passenger agent;
G. 7. Roach, chief clerk to general
superintendent; Jerry Cronin, travel
ing engineer; w. Fl. Brill, assistant
general passenger agent; A. Fridge
and F. d. Trimble.
A number of the business men of the
two towns were present to greet the
visitors, and a pleasant half hour was
spent in forming and renewing ac-
quaintances.
Short talks were made by Messrs
Bower, Cameron and Egan. They stat
ed that the object of the visit was for
the officials of the railroad to get into
closer touch with their patrons and to
create closer bond between them.
Judge Lawrason replied on behalf of
the citizens assembled.
The best piece of news brought by
the visit was the statement made by
Mr. Egan that steps are being made
preparatory to raising the Y. & M. "
tracks, below Bayou Sara, to a height
which would prevent breaks in train
service during high water periods
When this is accomplished, the rail.
road company will have done much to
win the kindly regard of the people liv-
ing along the Woodville branch.
The party did not go to Woodville,
but returned to Slaughter thence up
the main line.
We were glad to welcome these rep
resentatives of the railroad to Bayou
Sara, and regret that they did not have
longer time to spend here in order
that they might have been enabled to
learn more of local conditions and be-
come better acquainted with the many
advantages enjoyed by the citizens of
West Feliciana.

INITIAL DANCE OF THE YOUNG
MEMS SOCIAL CLUB.

The first dance given by the Young
Mems Social Club, Thursday evening,
proved to be a most pleasant affair.
The low temperature prevailing for the
few days previous insured dancing
comfort, and to this was added clean
floor, printed programs, and absence
of crush. Mr. F. E. Farr as floor and
general manager was ideal, and those
members of the executive committee
present were attentive to their duties
as we'll.
Mr. J. r. Matthews made announce
ment of the rules of the club at the be-
ginning of the dance The children
were allowed three entire dances be-
fore 1890 o'clock, and at other times
were not allowed to dance except, with
a grown person.
There was scarcity of young men
dancers, and this is probably the only
fault that could be found. Those pres
ent from a distance were Miss Allie
Jelks and her brother FARMER Jelks of
Port Hudson, and Ernest Roberts of
East Feliciana.
Dancing was kept up till few min
utes after one o'clock. The next meet"
is expected to take place on the 18th.
