MINISTERS RETURN
Methodists Homs From the North Geor
gia Conference.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE NEW MEN
Rev. 8. R, Belk, A. A. Tilly end C. M.
Verdell Come Back For Their
Fourth Years.
Revs. 8. R. Belk, A. A. Tilley, T. P.
Graham, H. L. Edmondson and C, M.
Vetdell returned yesterday from Athens,
where they attended the North Georgia
conference.
Os these. ReVi. 8. R. Belk is returned
to the First church, C. M. Verdeli to the
Third church and A, A. Tilley, Howard
Street. East Rome.
Rev. fl, L. Edmondson goes to Bt.
Paul’s church, Atlanta, and is succeeded
in the pastorate of the Second church
here by Rev. 8. H. Dimond, who served
St. Paul’s the present year. Rev. Di
mond is about 32 years of age, and has a
family. He is a brother-in-law of the
lamented Bishop A. G. ■ Haygood.
Rev. T. P, Graham goes to the Fair
mount circuit in the Dalton district. He
made a splendid record during his pas
torate of the North Rome circuit, and
there is general regret at his departure.
Rev. A. H. 8. Bugg, who has been on
the West Rome circuit, is transferred to
North Rome. He is popular and the
people are pleased to get -him. Rev. W.
L. Singleton will have the West Rome
circuit.
Not only the members of the First
Methodist church, but the citizens of
Rome generally are glad that Rev. 8.
R. Belk comes back another, and the
fourth year. It is said that Rome
came near losing him, though, for the
people of Augusta were very anxious
that he should be sent there. He is
very popular with all denominations
and was welcomed back yesterday in
the heartiest manner.
Rev. C. M. Verdell is sent back to
the third churoh for the fourth year.
He is a quiet gentleman, and one of
the few ‘ - old bachelors” in the North
Georgia conference.
Mr. Verdell is scholarly and an able
pulpit orator. His congregation was
very muoh gratified to have him re
turned to them.
Rev. A. A. Tilly comes back to How
ard avenue church for his fourth year.
He, too, belongs to the “bachelor”
crowd. Mr. Tilley has done a splen
did work here, and through his ener
gy and ability built the beautiful lit
tle church in East Rome.
The new presiding elder of the
Rome district is Rev. J. H. Eakes,
who is practically a young man, being
yet under 40. It is bis first service
as presiding elder, but be is consider
ed a very able man, and the appoint
ment is generally commended. He
will probably make his home in Rome.
Former Presiding Elder Thomas F.
Pierce, goes to Greenville and Trinity
in the LaGrange district. He has a
good appointment, and one that will
not be onerous. Though he is over
seventy years of age, he is still hale
and vigorous—one of the remarkable
and striking figures in the conference.
“We had one of the best and most
important conferences we ever held,”
said Rev. 8. R. Belk yesterday.
“There was much of a stir about the
charges brought against some of the
ministers, but they were all clearly
exonerated. The people of Athens
were very hospitable and treated us
in splendid style.”
Just try a 10c. box of Cascarets, the
finest liver and bowel regulator ever
made.
MARKET DID NOT BREAK.
Port Receipts Tuesday Were 103,000,
Heaviest Ever Recorded.
Tuesday’s port receipts of cotton were
103,000 bales—the heaviest ever recorded.
It was expected that the enormous
receipts would send the market tumb
ling yesterday, but the close only showed
a decline of five points.
Cotton still sells on the streets for 5 to
SJ. with very heavy local receipts for the
week.
The compress has been compiled to
shut down for a few days for some re
pairs and as a consequence the staple has
begun to congest in the warehouses.

TRIO OF ENTERTAINERS
They Will Appear at Nevin’s Oj>era House
Wednesday, Dee. Bth.
Polk Miller, Oscar Sisson and Ester
Wallace will make an extensive tour
of the North and South dnring this
season. Messrs. Leath and Smith,
under whose management the trio of
stare will be this season, have made
no hesitation in making their tour in
clude every city of importance in the
United States, as the success they
have made in the past as individual
stars, warrants that their associating
will mean an entertainment that Will
meet with praise and success every
where.
Mr. Miller, has through his careful
study of the negro, and characteris
tics, developed a sketch that has made
his staunch reputation, and given him
imitators on the vaudeville stage.
Mr. Miller carries the favorable en
dorsement of all the critics and editors
of this country.
Oscar Sisson and Miss Ester Wallace
his fair and pretty partner, have a
high standing upon the legitimate
stage where they have become recog
nized stars. As a center piece' to the
entertainment they produce a one
act farce comedy that is variegated
with many catchy songs and
dances, and bits of dialogue that are
witty and to the point.
Miss Wallace has a strong and
healthy mezzo-soprano voice that is
only one of the many charms the
vivacious young comedienne possesses
TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION.
Judge Branham Approves What Dr,
Curry Said About It.
To the Tribune:—lt is with pleasure
that I call especial attentiou to the fol
lowing extract from the address of Dr,
J. L M. Curry, delivered before the
legislature of Georgia on the 29th inst:
—‘‘l would have schools of technology
and I would introduce into every school
of the state manual training and would
teach the boys how to work. I would
not give one cent of money to any insti
tution under state control unless there
was a correct audit of every cent appro
priated. Now, industrial schools are
not experiments. They are demon
strated successes. It’s the most won
derful thing on earth, this multiplica
tion of manual training schools. Why,
we ought to bave these training schools
in every public school of the state. We
ought to teaob those trades that under
lie the every day commerce and business
of the country. I love Georgia. I love
the university at Athens. But when
you go home and when yon think of
your honorable career here it will be a
consolation to you to reflect that you
voted as one man to perpetuate and pre
serve the public schools of Georgia.
“Now one thing more. Take oare of
the teachers. Pay them well. Train
them for the work and recognize them
as being among the chief factors of your
civilization. I do not know that by the
providence of God I will ever be per
mitted to speak before the Georgia leg
islature again but I appreciate your at
tention more than anything else. Let
me beg yon in the name of humanity
that you educate your children. ”
I believe in a thorough education, but
at the same time a practical one. Every
boy and girl should be educated with a
view to the demands and necessities of
life, so t|jat, they may be able to sup
port themselves and etcape the l doom of
dependence and poverty, r •
