went to the main entrance, where
Sheriff Wooley was covered with
sawed-off shotguns and pistols and
disarmed. The men took the sheriff's
keys, mounted to the Jail in the top
story and forced the jailer to turn
over Owens. His arms were bound
and he was hurried to a waiting auto
mobile.
The mob had increased from about
a thousand to as many more and a
hundred automobiles were at hand.
Into these the crowd scrambled and
Owens was taken to the outskirts.
There he was hanged to the limb of
a tree and his body riddled with bull
lets. Thereupon the mob dispersed.
Owens was 10 years old.

THE CONFERENCE FIFTEEN
YEARS AGO AND NOW

It is interesting to note some Of the
changes which have com in fifteen
years. The questions have often been
asked. How many will be here? How
much territory is included? ETC., etc.
The comparison given below Is on the
basis of last years report. Every in
dication is that this years report will
show great gains.
On looking it up We discover that
in the year 1905 when the conference
met here before, there were In the
membership OF the body rs effective

elders. Now there are 1874. At thai
time there. were about $4,000 church
members. Now there are about 10000,
The value of the church property was
then $43O, 900. Now it is $1,102, 900. Par
sonage property was then estimated
at S104, 900. Now it is 1922 600 Grand
total Of all benevolences in 1905 was
$4,000. Last year it was $124.OO0-
There is every reason to believe that
this years figure will be far beyond
that. The Sunday School enrolment
then was $4,000. Last year it was
2S, 900. There was contributed to the
Retired Minister'S Fund in 1905 $1,000.
Last year $1,000. 1t promises to pc
much more this year because there is
a determined effort to pay the annuity
in full this year.
1t is also interesting to note changes
in the Moscow Methodist church in
that time. In the year 1905 MOSCOW
reported 444 church members. In the
veal ICUO IACIC was iCPO1 tOd "a -Oc
members. This year there will be re-
ported $50. The church property was
valued then at $35, 900. 1t vas the
same church we have now and the
value was soon reduced to $4,000.
There were then two parsonages val
ued at $500. Now we have one par
sonage valued at $1,000 and five
houses besides, valued at about $4,000.
Our grand total for be~nevolences that
year was 1888. This year it will be
about $4,000. Our Sunday School had
that year a total enrolment of 500.
This year the enrolment is about
900. Average attendance at that time
was around 200. This year it will be
400. We contributed that rear to the
Retired Minister'S Fund $31. This
year we will contribute $435.
At the session of the conference
fifteen years ago there were few O
the ministers wives present and prac-
no laymen and yet the town
and church seemed. to have their
hands full. This year there will be
present besides about 175 ministers,
100 laymen and over fifty min
.sters' wives.
1t will be interesting to those who
ire coming and to the local church
o know that the entertaining of these
delegates is well in hand. We would

the candidates. However the view

clearly expressed and less open to the
criticism of lack of clarity.
