The great battle ou tlio Willing
ham Prohibition bili is fi t*f fo/
Tuesday next, Much depends on
the result of tho contest.
Senator Gross, of this District,
has introduced a bill providing for
biennial sessions of the General As
sembly. This is a good measure
and ought to become a law, but it
will not pass. When it comes to a
question touching their pay our pat
riotic Holons invariable become skit
tish, Note how pleasantly and
promptly they always smother any
attempt to stop the h emulsions brib
ery of free passes on the railroads.
Wo are more than gratified to
learn that Mr. Furman Pearce, re
cently Associate Editor of this pa
per, and now a member of tlm Law
Class of Alercer Universily, has been
chosen Law Editor of The Merco
rian, a monthly magazine issued by
the students. Boon after entering
tho school ho was elected C.'nss
Prophet, but this additional honor
is far more important and respons
ible, and is a fitting recognition of
expanding intellect and literary ac
quirements of oue of tho most gifted
young men of the Slate. We
congratulate our valued young friend
on the high compliment which re
turns him to the tripod and tho do
main of the Fourth Estate, and as
sure him that his friends at the old
home do not doubt that he will con
duct the department intrusted to liis

QUARTERLY CONFERENCE.
KRMAII STALLING
Tho fourth and lnxt Quarterly Confareuco
for the Appling Charge for tho carrent year
*u held at Shiloh on Saturday, tho 4th in
■Unt, end woe, indeed, an excellent day in
almoat every respect. It was an ideal day
as to the weather. The sun shone brightly,
and the air was cool and bracing. It was
just the klud of day to wake one feel good
generally, and to be in lovo with every
thing. And there are many things at Shiloh
you have missed a great pleasure. A warm
er hearted, more hospitable people oannot
la found anywhere, and they oortainly boro
out this reoord Saturday.
The church vraa well filled, and Dr. King
the Presiding Elder, preached one ot tho
best sermons I have ever listened to, from
Luke 32:113 —"And when thou art convert
ed, strengthen thy brethren."
After the sermon s most bountiful repast
was spread in the grove, and if any oue
present did not get just an much dinner as
ha wanted it was his cvn fault. Tho table
was splendid, and there wen no leek of at
tention and hoapitality. To sum it np and
give yon an idea ot how hioe it was, I will
say that it was one of Shiloh's beat.
After dinner the Conference was held,
Dr. King presiding with dignity and busi
ness method, tuixod with a gonial good hu
mor that is unsurpassed, lie had a good
Secretary in llro. Walter K. Jones.
All of tho churches wi re repreuenled by
a good delegation of official members. Urn.
Turnlin, of Thomaon, reproseuted onr Pas
tor, who was abseut on account of sickness.
Tho Intelligence of Ids illness was the only
thing to mar the brightness of the day, and
on every side were heard i xpreaelona of
love and eympathy for him. I was glad to
know tide, for I like to see a people loyal
to their Pastor, and we have had a good
one. He worked hard and faithfully for
the good of the charge, and now that his
health has failed, every individual member
should do everything in his or her power
to strengthen him, and keep np his work
nntil he is able to resume it. There were
many earnest prayers offered for Die, Tim
mons during the meeting, and we earnestly
trust that ho may soon be restored to good
health. Ho could not havo chosen a bettor
reppresentative than Pro. Turnlin. lie is
an earnest Christian, and his devotion to
Bro. Timmons is beautiful, Iu any part of
the Cocferenoe, where the Pastor's speech
was needed, be was on his feel at onoe and
did tire subject justice. We appreciate his
prassnos and his untiring efforts for the
good of our Charge.
The only lively discussion we had was
upon the question of moving the Parsonage
from Appiiog. Thera did not seem to be
any great desire on the part of any oue to
move it, but son's of the brethren seemed
to think so, and made speeches to that of.
feet, the most elcqueut being that of Bro,
D. 0, Moore, of Applieg. According to his
representation of the Parsonage and sur
roundings, this is oertainly tho “pie” cir
cuit of Ure District. Wo hope onr Pastor
lor next year will he of the same opinion,
for it was decided not to move it.
Nearly [all of the officers were reelected.
We are sincerely glad that no change was
made in Ure Whits Oak Sunday School
Superintendent. Bro. Solon Bocae is the
right men in tbs right piece, end the im
portant position could not easily be filled
by another.
The hocuses of Bros. A. W. Smith end
Jr. A. Welker wore extended.
Bro. W. K Jones was circled Suporin
of the Appling Sunday Sol 001. vice Bro.
Smith, reargued Weoonld tell lire Appling
people what a poculirr fitness mid ability
Bro. Jones baa ns a Superintendent, but
time and space forbid.
Desolations on the illness of tho Pastor
were offered by liro Walker and unani
mously adopted, and then tho Conference
closed, to meet the next time with tho Ap
pling church. And thus ended one of those
bright, red-letter dsys that we appreciate
so much, and which come to us quite often
in (his land of socia', hospitable, chutch
going people.

I>r. King preached for us at While Oak
on Hunday Jest, arid again his sermon was a
rich treat. Ills text was Duke 11; H —“Bhe
hath done what she could.’* The standard
held up was not too high, but reals,nahid,
and easy to come np to, if once wo could
mak up our minds to “do what we could.
While it seoruod unfortunate that Dr.
King bed to tako up a collection the first
thus ho came to us, still wo thoroughly un
derstood tho circumstances. He was filling
Ilro. Timmons' last af pointinent for the
year, and, of course, bad to tuko a collotion
for conference claims. He has rondo a list,
ing iiuproasiou upon our people, afid I hope
we may soon have the pleaeure of hearing
him again. His sermon was “seed sown
id good ground." as was shown by the re
sult of his collection. Our best wishes and
heart-fop prayers go with him to his work
in othor parts of the Distriot, witli the sin
cere hope that lie may lie abundantly bless
ed in all his labors in the Mauler's vineyard.

Batmday and Sunday last the Singing ]
Convention root at Zoa r, on the line of j
Warren and Glascock counties. The church ]
in nituated in a lovely grove, which bad j
been nicely cleared off, ad the roads for a j
mile each way well worked. These prep- j
orations showed that the people were inter-!
ested in singing; and. when the singing
commenced, I thought it was the best I
ever heard. There was a large attendance
both days—on Saturday between 500 and
GOO, and ou Sunday between 800 and 1,000.
Better order or nicer behavior I never saw
in so large a crowd.
The leaders were Messrs. Louis Wren,
Elbert Prescott and Jas. M. .Morgan, Jr. j
At half-past 12 dinner was announced,
and it was splendid and in the greatest
abundance. A general invitation was giveD
to all; and, after all had eaten, plenty was
lef to feed the crowd again.
X never spent two more enjoyable days in
my life. We will long remember our de
lightful visit, and hope to repeat it sopn.
The next Convention will embrace tha
third Saturday and Hunday iu March, at
Mt. Horeb, iu Jefferson county. We hope
to attend, for we always enjoy going io
Mt Horeb.
