History of Moaroe Metk0iism
Date From the Year 1911

In its issue devoted to the confer
enee which is now in session here,
the North Carolina Christian Advo-
cate says of Monroe Methodism:
The Methodism of Monroe first
appears in the records as a paying
appointment in 1874, when SS.05 were
contributed for the support of the
ministry. The Monroe church which
had formerly been a part Of the
Monroe circuit was made station in
ls65 with Rev. A. j. Stafford, preach
er in charge. The salary of the pastor
was fixed at $500 and paid in full.
tine first brick of the present
church building was laid June 2l,
1900, and the church was formally
opened July 6, 1902. Bishop A. ".
Wilson preached the sermon. Rev.
". NJ. Baghy was pastor when the
plans were selected, the contract let,
and through the whole period that
the church was being erected. but the
en,erpr sc had been set on foot and
the lot secured several years before
curing the pastorate of Rev. W. K.
Ware.
The church in its beginning was
weak and the contributions to the
support of .the gospel distreSsingly
small, but Monroe Methodists are no
longer a feeble folk The Central
church, measured by whatever stand
ard one may select, occupies a place
in the front ranks of the great
churches of the Western North Caro-
lima Conference.
THE conference met in Monroe in
l902-twenty years ago-Blshop A.
Coke Smith, presiding. Never at any
time has the conference enjoyed more
royal entertainment than at Monroe,
and the same high standard will be
maintained upon the approaching oc-
cas- on.
The conference gladly welcomes
this opportunity to gather in annual
session at Monroe and in the good
county of Union--one of the great
count es of the state. This county
grows corn and cotton in abundance,

by his "fancee"-no, life has been any
thing but drab for "Dapper Dan" Caswell,
Cleveand's boy Croesus.
He's only twenty-three, but he's the mil.

like a crazy quilt At the other corners

"Dapper Dan" better than .she loved her

Inside the triangle--well there's so much
inside the triangle-all the way from an
ocean rescue TO a fight in the aisle OF
careenng Pullman between two clawing
beauties in silk nighties-that the trianges
contents really should be considered
chronologically.
When Dan Caswell came into his ma
jority aud his fortune he quit Cleveland
society cold, whizzed east and established
residence on Broadway near the stage door
to the Follies. Jessie Reed walked out OF
the stage door into Caswells arms and
they eloped.
At the time, says Mr. Caswell, he was
under the impression that Jessie's temper.
ament was as fair as her face. He quickly
learned, he declares, that II was not. He
says she had a catty ispositlon-wild-
catty. He says she drank-"boozed" is
his word She told him he was the first
boy she ever kissed, and he says he found
out It wasn't SO!
That's what Mr. Caswell says, Mrs
Oaswel says a say,so herself. She says
she thought Mr. Caswell as rich as all get
out, but she discovered his mother held
the check book. she says he borrowed
money from her and drank It up. She says
he borrowed money from her friends--and
drank It up. She says he even borrowed
money from her mald Belinda, and drank
that up, too, So says Jessie.
This exchange OF remarks between Mr..
and Mrs. Caswell took place after they
separated. The parting came while they
were still on their honeymoon-which was
probably the most amazing honeymoon
