 Attended Conference. Rev.

The object of this convention was to extend the great missionary work of the Methodist Episcopal church and other Protestant, denominations in missionary work. The convention was the beginning of the centennial which will culminate in 1919 at Columbus, l O.. at which time 100000 delegates are expected to be present. 1 Addresses were delivered by prom l inent speakers. One thousand repre- sentatives attended the convention. The members of the Versailles church unanimously requested Rev l Charles Smith to remain as pastor l for another year. Mr. Smith has ac- l cepted and will enter upon his tenth year as pastor of this church. Dam Gives Way. Last Wednesday. about 12 o'clock noon the dam at Frank Smiths saw mill, about two miles north of Han over, on Little river, gave way under | the heavy pressure of water and large | nf Inv he recent warm rain. Residents of two l generations in that section could not remember in the history of Slab City when the ice measured 2S inches on 1 this river and claim that this year was the coldest in a good many years the ice having attained thickness of 2S inches. This bridge had been built over 100 years ago. A small foot bridge below the dam was also carried away at the same time.
