Dunnellon, May 1.-The Ocala dis
tlict of the Methodist church held its
annual conference at Dunnellon May

ant were taken care of: the endow-

dowment fund for widows and chill
dren of Methodist ministers and
Southern College were substantially
supported. The homes of Dunnellon
were opened to the visitors and a
gracious hospitality extended. Every
thing that could be done for the COM
fort and entertainment of the guests
Dunnellon showed willing spirit to
do, and the conference was a splendid
success. Much may be said of the
kindness of Dunnellon people toward
making the conference a success, but
credit must be given to Rev. Koest-

efforts and interest in the success of
