J1m Butler, hob of Henry Butler, and step-son of Mattie Butler, opposes the nin/Mcnltlon of Mattie ns the legal cus todian of his futher'a estate, worth $1,000, and ekes a number of roieons why, In his opinion, tho application should bo set aside. <T ( he taftlmony of Mattie brought out tlio fact Ghat f/ho was first married to bno Lawls Collins, from whim sho sep arated twelvo years ago, when ho gat into some Kind of trouble and left the eo'itly.

Candler of Emory Col lego Preached a Powerful Sermon Yesterday. REPORTS FROM THE CHARGES Highly Encouraging and Show A Steady Growth Among the Metho dist* of tb* District — Or, Monlt f * Sermon. It was a day of great Interest with the Methodists of the North Georgia conference, in session In the Cant Mar eon church, yesterday The following new delegates reported for representation in the conference; it. C. Jones of fiandersvllle, Jones Cook of Bullards, K. V. Hardeman of Danville, L.' Skeltoe of Griswold. L The entire morning sesidon wUs taken up from the time It convened o’clock um41 11, the hour for religious eervlce, with the hearing of reports from all the charges In the district, The reports were almost unexecptlon- ally everything that could be Wished They were indicative of the marvellous growth of 'th? church -everywhere in the district and of the untold strength and Increasing power of the Metho dists. There was geneml satisfaction at 'the work of all the pastors and they are to be commended (for the able ful fillment of their mission in every in stance. At 11 o’clock Dr. Warren A. Candler, president of Dmory Collage, Oxford, iiie.iciud. It a.!.; lut tjcm.T.illy known that tne distinguished divine woulU fill the pulpit, for It was not known among tne preachers thcouselves until too late tine nlgat before to announce u Hum the puiplt. Else a very much larger congregation would have been in attendance upon tho morning ses sion tin an greeted Jbtaiory’s able presi dent and the Methodist’s giant preaoher. • As it was, the nehvs had been spread to same extent before the hour for preaching, and a large number of peo ple from over the river who wen* 'for tunate enough to be among those who were apprised of Dr. Candler’s engage ment were to be seen among the fairly good congregation. Those who neard the sermon * pro nounced 1l u masterly literary ’effort and an eloquent oxposltlon ol tho Methodist doctrine as It proceeUs from John Wesley, the fountain head..Tho subject of hia discourse might toe prop erly represented as follows: "Deadness to the world requisite -for admission Into 'tho kingdom of God.” Tne lead ing idea in the icsson appeared to be the giving up of all otner kingdoms for tne kingdom of God, and on the line of. strict doctrine the preacher spoke for an hour and fifteen an 1 antes, though so spellbound was tne congre gation by his surpassing eloquence that it scorned not more than the usual length of church services. Dr. Candler left the city early In the afternoon, else an effort would Wave been made to secure ids mapuocrlpt. The business session of tho con ference, which convened at 3 oVlock in the afternoon, was not characterized toy anything of public Interest, and at 4 o'clock it adjourned to tocur a ser mon toy Rev. J. E. Wray at tho Vlne- vlllc church at 4:30. Mr. YNTay spoke with ohat same earnestness and eloquent appeal Which has marked him as one of tho Ji/blest young ministers that tho north Macon conference has ever had. He was Ids- tenevl to attentively by a good con gregation und made a deep and last ing impression upon his brethren. DR. MONK ON MISSIONS. Dr. Alonzo Monk of Mulberry Street chuwn preached the missionary ser mon before the conference last night, and pcrhui* the largest congregation that has ever gathered In Mr- Wes ton's church - was present. This distln- gUkOied preacher and Methodist wrnr- horae lltera.ly' shelled the woods for tho great cause of the mission field, and calling a spade a spade WtUKOTtr R btCLume convenient and expressive of what he wished to say, ho stirred lh« north Macon conference from cen ter to circumference and achieved •& matfttTOcvm victory for tho church.

AS A RESULT OF THE STRIKE All Kinds of Salt and Fresh Meats Have Taken a Rise in 1 1 Price. LIKEWISE FLOUR AND GRAIN While Western Beef Cannot Be find at Any Price—The Outlook Con tinue* to Grow More Serious ns Each Day Passe*. At last the big Western strike Is being felt In Macon and unless the strike Is ended within, the next few days it i« highly probable that here may be some actual suffering. ' It Is Imnoselble to get a ringle car load of either fresh or salt meat from the West and grain is also not to be had. This state of affaire is alarming when it Is considered that every other oily is in a similar predicament and ea'A one Is dependent on the local stock on hand to supply the consumers until the railroads are again opened for trade. Yesterday the price of all salt meats went up 1 cent per pound and the pros pect is that it will go higher as the supply grows leas. Fredh Western meals are no longer to toe had find con sumers must depend on the native cat tle for beef after the supply now In oold storage In the city is exhausted. It Is understood that Macon provision dealcre have a good supply. of provis ions on hand, and as the urnount con sumed will necessarily *be less with higher prices, there is no danger of im mediate suffering. The farmers, especially those in mid dle Georgia, are In better condition to stand such a state of affairs than the people In the oii*es, as most of them have well filled smbke houses and corn cribs. There are a number o>f them, however. In various sections of the state, who have devoted most of their time to raising cotton and neglected their meat und corn. These will suffer mtore than any ocher elans, as they have their stock ns well as theix fami lies ami laborers to feed. How thjy will do It Should the strike be prolong ed. it is hard to tell, as not a car of grain can be had from-the West and there ore few farmers who not know ing how long the strike will last will care to seal their. 00m to their neigh bors at the risk of depriving them selves. Flour, lard and similar necessities are on the upward tendency and it Is also impossible to get them here as long ns the strike lasts. Macon Is better off than most cities, but If the strike continues much longer It will work many hardships on her cit izens. HOWS THIS ?

WANTED A CERTIFICATE, So 'Hint IBs Wife Would Know He Hud Been On the Jury. One of the Jurons who has been serv ing on the superior court Jury for the past week astonished Judge Griggs yesterday by asking him tor a certltl- eale, to be countersigned by tho sollc- Itor-geneml and clerk, certifying that he had served on the jury for the week, and had also served two full nights in the jury room. Before granting the extraordinary request Judge Griggs nsk^l the Juror why he wanted the certificate. “The facts Is, Judge," ho said, "whon -I went home the other day after re maining out on a case nil night my wHfe took me to task and, despite my most earnest asfxrtlonK, 1 never did fully convince her that I bad served on the jury all night, and I only satis fied her by jn\>mfsing to get a certifi cate signed by you, the clerk and s<>- Ucttor certifying to whoit I had said. After being out hist wight I don’t dare go home witHi-ouj it, as I know tbore will he the dtelcicxbLtO'pay.'* Judge Griggs readily granted tho re quest, and the Juror went home with a* triumphant smile.
