CONFERENCE CLOSED
AT DAWSQ

South Georgia Conference of tne
Methodist church closed Monday
night in Dawson with the read
ing of the appointments.
Sunday' was the big day in Daw
son, the visiting preachers occu
pying the different pulpits of the
city and large crowds were in at
tendance and some fine and elo
quent set mons were delivered.
Rev. W. L. Wright was re
turned as pastor of the Cairo
Methodist church. He has serv
ed this church in an excellent
manner during his three year’s
pastorate and his return to Cairo
is very gratifying to his members
and friends here.
Rev. J. M. Outler, who has
been presiding elder of this dis
trict for the past tour years, was
sent to Dawson as pastor of the
First Methodist Church of that
place. In his report to the Con
ference Mr. Outler stated that
a gain of over 1,000 new mem
bers had been made in his dis
trict during his four years here.
He repurted that the ministers
had been paid their salaries in
full, and that on an assessment
of $2,150 for foreign missions the
district this year paid 84,500.
ATI the other benevolent collec
tions wore in good shape. Dur
ing this year there were 1,360
additions to the churches, 650 of
which were by profession of
faith. Only five charges in the
district showed any deficit in any
thing.

The members of the Cairo Bap
tist church met in session las'
Suftday afternoon immediately
after Sunday school and unani
mously decided to call Rev. WJI.
Scruggs as pastor.
Rev. Mr. Scruggs preached
two sermons at this chuhch a few
Sundays ago and made quite a
favorable impression on his con
gregation.
Since the departure of Dr. P.
D. Ragsdale about two months
ago, who resigned to take a place
in the management of Mercer
University at Macon, the church
has been without a regular pas
tor, but since the calling of Rev.
Scruggs there will be services at
this church regulary every Sun
day morning and evening here
after.
Rev. Mr. Scruggs is a man of
splendid ability and during his
career in the ministry has done
some great work and this church
has made a wise selection in the
calling of Mr. Scruggs.
Rev. Scruggs comes to Cairo
from Waycross, where he has re
sided for some time, but on ac
count of illness of his wife he has
had no re >,ular church but 1
been doing supply work at differ-
ent places for the past several
months.
Rev. Mr. Scruggs and family
are expected to move to Cairo in
the next few days.

Fire Destroys Shed end Buggy.
About 12 o’clock Thursday eve
ning of last week fire was discov
ered in the large shed on the
place of Mr. J. T. Andrews about
five miles southeastof Cairo, and
in a few minutes wus completely
destroyed.
The shed contained a wagon,
buggy, harness and several tools,
all of which were destroyed.
There had been no fire in the
shed nor any one in it that night
and, it is thought, that the shed
was set on fire by some one, but
up to this time no arrests have
been made.
Mr. Andrews had'no insurance
and the loss, $250, is keenly . felt
by him. Anyone desiring to
make a contribution Mr. Andrews
will appreciate it and requests
that it be left at any of the banks
in Cairo.
