EFFORT TO REVIVE QUESTION
OF REMOVAL OF DISTRICT
PARSONAGE PASSED UP.
The stewards of the Americus dis
trict met in Dawson Wednesday tq
plan for the work of the incoming
year. The attendance was most en
couraging, 18 out of the 21 officials be
ing present. The gathering was pre
sided over by Dr. W. C. Lovett, the
presiding elder.
The optimistic spirit of this body
of laymen, who are representative bus
iness men from the different counties,
indicates an upward climb in spite of
financial depression and augurs well
for the success of the different lines of
church activities.
Among the matter passed on was the
fixing of the presiding elder’s saldry
and the apportionment of the benevo
lent fund. It was thought that the
matter of locating the district parson
age had been fully and finally settled,
but an effort-was made to reconsider
the former action. After some discus
sion of the question, which has so long
been a subject of contention, it was
tabled. In the meantime Dawson
Methodists will go ahead with their
plans for remodeling and improving
the church’s property here according
to agreement entered into by repre
sentatives from all the churches of the
district at a meeting held several
months ago.

Harris, who favors some kind of re
lief measure for them, writes The
News that he is desirous of getting
the views of the men as to what kind
of plan they think is best. The sena
tor wants them to know that he would
be glad for them to write him their
views on the subject at their earliest
convenience.

Big Decline Reported in
County’s Matrimonial Activities.
Marriage records in the office of
Ordinary L. C. Hoyl disclose that
Cupid has not been near as energetic
the past year as he was in 1919,
when there were 323 marriages in the
county as against 196 in 1920, a de
crease of 12%. Judge Hoyl says ma
trimonial activities were very pro
nounced during the recent war, and in
that way accounts for the great dif
ference shown by *the figures. Last
year 43 white and 153 negro couples
ventured into matrimony.
