BRIEF REPORT OF THE
GULF CONFERENCE.

The Gulf Conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church has just closed
Ole of the most interesting and profit
able sessions of its history. This ses-
sion was held in Lake Charles. Bishop
Thirkield of New Orleans, presided
in his usual dignified and brotherly
manner. Correctional boards were
well represented DR.. w. S Bouvard,
of New York City, represented the
Sunday Schools, and F. J. Kenney, of
Buffalo, N. Y. represented the Com.
mission of Evangelism, giving very
interesting addresses each afternoon
on the great campaign for 100000
souls. This is the goal of the Metho-
dist church by June /, 1920.
DR.. George Elliott, of Detroit, Michi-
gan, one of the outstanding preachers
of America, delivered stirring address
ses each night of the Conference. DR..
Powell, Of india, represented Foreign
Missionary work, giving a very stir
ring pageant on Saturday night.
Among the important things which
this conference did was to adopt a
resolution asking the coming general
conference to admit laymen to the
annual conference.
In the lection of delegates to the
coming general conference, which is
to be held in Des Moines, Iowa, in
May, 1920, Rev. f. w. 10y of Jennings,
was elected ministerial delegate, and
Rev. R, T. Pines of Marshall, Texas,
reserve. Mr.. go. King of Lake Charles
was elected as lay delebgate with
DR.. Vogan of Alvin, Texas, reserve.
The delegation from Welsh made a
call for the next annual conference
to be held here, but the urgent appeal
from San Antonio prevailed and our
next conference will be held in Trim
ity church in San Antonio.
Among the appointments which
were read in the closing service Sum
day night by Bishop Thirkield, Rev.
F. w. 10y was returned to Jennings
as District Superintendent and Rev.
H, K. Faulk to Jennings, r. l.. Weldon
to Welsh, j. H. Gray to Lake Charles,
G. R. Robinson to DeQuincy, ]. A. Car
ruth was moved to Marshall, Texas.
These appointments are of more vital
interest to Welsh than any of the
others.

en- OF Lake Charles was present and
explained the new laws of the order
passed at the last convention of the
Sovereign Camp held the past summer
in Chicago, to which Judge Braden
was delegate. He is an excellent
speaker and we'll posted on the affairs
OF Woodcraft, and his address was
highly appreciated by the Woodmen
and the members of the Woodmen
Circle who were also invited to at
tend the meeting.
Following the business session and
the address of Judge Braden light re-
freshments were served.
Installation of officers takes place
on the first Wednesday night in Jan
uary. This will probably be a joint
affair with the Circle with the usual
social features.

\. L. 6ROUSSARD ANNOUNCES,
CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF

A. L. Broussard, of Lake Arthur,
candidate for Sheriff before the com.
ing democratic primary, was in Welsh
Tuesday meeting the voters and ex
tending his candidacy throughout this
part of the parish. He stated that he
was making a complete canvass of
the parish and was meeting with en-
cOuragement.
Mr.. Broussard is not an experienced
politician, this being his first bid for
office. He is a native Of the parish,
having been born on the Mayville.
The past few years he has been in
business in Lake Arthur. Speaking
both French and English fuently it
is easy for him to conduct a personal
campaign.

CoSNER SALE BIGGEST
EVER HELD HERE.
Total Sales Were approximately $780,
10000. Over $4,000 Paid for
Single individual

One of the biggest, if not the biggest
auction sales of live stock and farm
equipment ever held in this section
was staged by G. W. Cosner Tuesday
when he sold his entire herd Of cattle
together with all of his mules, horses
and farm equipment. The feature of
the sale was a fine herd of polled and
horned Hereford cattle, the stock in
which Mr., Cosner has specialized for
several years. The line offered at,
tracted buyers from all over the coun-
try.
1t is stated that Mr.. Cosner re-
celyed very good prices for all items
sold, and that as high as $4,000 was
paid for individuals. Five hundred
head Of cattle were listed in the sale,
the total proceeds of which were more
than $90,00000.
The blooded stock at Mr.. Cosner's
sale was purchased mostly by home
people and will remain in this section
for the bettcrment of our herds. 1t
is remarkable circumstance that al
most all Of the big transactions of this
section this season have featured
home people as purshasers This is
a coiacident, because it is the common
belief, we'll founded, that the home
people seldom fully appreciate real
values at home, either of their neigh,
bors' land stock, or anything else that
he may offer on the market
Mr. Cosner announces that he will
not enter actively in business again
for some time at least, but will take
a needed vacation, probably spending
some time in California.

ing throughout his speech.
Col. Stubs was accompanied on the
platform by Hon. T. Arthur Edwards,
former district attorney, and Hon.
Chas. F. Buck of New Orleans, a for
mer Welsh cvitizen. Hon. L. E. Hall

Of hearing Col. Stubbs, himself, dis
cuss the issues of the campaign.
AS far as Hall is concerned Stubs
spporters admit that he is no drawing
card in this vicinity. Parker men are
only smiles on the subject because
they appreciate that Hall will prob
ably lose Stubs some votes.
