There is no question but that Win
.neshiek county grows some excellent
apples. A display of Snow apples in
H. j. Hutchinson's grocery store
window proves the quality of Winnie

from Louis Schweinfus, who occu-
pies the former A. P. Rude farm

Even pleasure, she said, requires

Will Remain i'm Charge of the Decor
ah Nj. Il. Church for Another
Year.

The sixtieth session of the Upper
Iowa Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church held at Dubuque
last week was in many ways one Of
the most remarkable sessions ever
held. Amongst the outstanding fea-
lures was the presidency of Bishop
Homer c. Stuntz, a former member
of the conference. Bishop Henderson
was present and made a remarkable
address explaining the forward move
ment of Methodism for the coming
year, aiming at an increase of 1885,
| 600 members. Prof. Harry F. Ward
of Boston gave some remarkable ad-
dresses upon social problems. The
reports revealed an increase in men,
beship of 144O members for the con-
ference.

six to four, eliminating the Mar
shalltown and DEBORAH Districts. This

per Iowa University and the new Dis
trict Superintendent will be DR.. w.

try, having at one time been pastor

preachers of the Conference and will
no doubt be we'll received during his
visits in DEBORAH.
DR.. G.. S. Lakeland has been re-
appointed to DEBORAH for his fourth
year by unanimous invitation of the
official board. This is unique in the
history of the charge as only one pas
