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. Tutt’s Pills Cure AU Liver Ills.

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 • J.
