ANNUAL CONFERENCE

The 104th session of the Tennessee
annual conference of the M. E.
Church, South, was held at Gallatin
last week, presided over by Bishop
Mccoy. Although it was a very busy
meeting it was deeply spiritual, and
the members and guests were royalty
entertained by the good people of
Gallatin. The next session will be
held in Lebanon. One of the best
features of the conference is always
the annual love feast, and this year il
was presided over by Rev. r. ]. Craig
one of the most beloved members of
the body, and whom the good bishop
was kind enough to return to Cooke
vile. The church here is certainly
fortunate in having Bro. Craig for an
other year as he is very strong man.
