Mr. J. H. Adams
Grosses Great Divide
The Herald, with hundreds of
other Taylor County citizens, de
plore the death of Mr. John H.
Adams which occurred at his resi
dence in the northwestern part of
the county Tuesday afternoon
about 7 o’clock. Mr. Adams had
been ill for quite a while with
typhoid fever, which was of a very
malignant type, and while he had
best of medica 1 attention, yet no
medical treatment or nursing could
abate the ravages of this dread
disease. ;
Mr. Adams was about 48 years
of age, and was not only regarded
as one of Taylor County’s best
and most honorable citizens in the
community in which he lived, but
was so regarded throughout the
county.
Mr. Adams was a model farmer,
so that crops of all kind respond
ed fully and freely to his magic
touch and was looked upon as
standard authority in the agricul
tural realms of the county. He
was also a very public spirited
man, and a leader in those things
which were for the betterment of
conditions in the county. He took
a very active part in th/a fairs
which have made this county
famous throughout southwest
Georgia. And so with every pub
lic enterprise, Mr. Adams was
fully identified. But above all,
Mr. Adams was a Christian—one
whose walk and every day life
was jp.accordance with* the pro
fession which he made. His
Chrrrvcn ^filiations were with the
-PrimitiveBaptist Church at Shiloh,
and not only the church, but the
entire community have sustained
an irreparable tcfcs.
Tie leaves a heart-broken wife
and five children to mourn their
sad loss in the death of husband
and father.
The remains of Mr. Adams were
laid to rest at Shiloh church yes
terday afternoon at four o’clock,
funeral service conducted by
Elders Fuller and Monsees.
Quarterly Conference Postponed
News reached here Thursday
after the issue of the Herald was

conference for Butler charge
would be postponed from Friday

was made, we understand, on ac
count of an unexpected call to

field, the presiding elder.
Sufficient notice of the date for
bolding the conference will be'
given.

Columbus District Conference
Brotherly love, intense earnest
ness and true spirituality were
some of the outstanding features
of the Columbus District Confer
ence which was held at Lumpkin
June 24-26.
Bishop Ainsworth on the day
before had formally dedicated one
of the most beautiful small town
churches in the South Georgia
Conference. With this beautiful
building, with Rev. W. P. Bievin
as pastor and with Lumpkin
homes thrown wide open nothing
could have been more ideal for
entertaining a District Conference
The conference was well attend
ed and was presided over by Rev.
J. P. Chatfield, K E., who dis
pensed the business rapidly and
yet impressively.
The preaching was done by
Rev. J. A. Smith, Rev. J. H. Stan
ford, Rev. L. A. Brown, Rev. J. B
Johnstone, and Rev. B. A. Pafford.
All of these sermons were enjoy
able and helpful.
The pastors’ reports show 136
additions on profession of faith;
282 by letter; 30 infants baptized;
3,283 pastoral visits made; 417
Wesleyans taken; Home and
Foreign Missions paid in full; 237
members in U. S. Army and Navy
and revivals held in many places.
The visiting brethren brought
us unusually high class messages
at this conference, messages that
will tell not. only for the special
interests which these brethren
represented but for the general
work of the kingdom.
The reports of the various com
mittees showed careful preparation
and should be given more atten
tion than they received in the rush
of adjournment. Quite a number
of important resolutions were
adopted, a report of which would
be asking far too much space.
Eight lay delegates were elected
to attend the next session of the
annual conference. Col. T. Hicks
Fort, of Columbus, was elected
district lay leader. Woodland was
unanimously chosen as the next
meeting place of the conference.—

Conscription Aided Napolddh.:
It was through the power of cen-
scrlption that Napoleon was enabled
to carry on the gigantic wart which
characterised his reign, and by meads
of it, after losing In the snorts of Baa-
aia the largest army that up til! .that
time had ever been put into the Sold,
he was enabled to reappear a few
months later with another army al
most as large. Out of necessity the
other nations were forced to follow
France’s example, and coaseftpfUm be-
came general. ^ *
