The barbecue at Raymond on Satur day afternoon last, given by the stock holders of the hank of Raymond, was a very enjoyable affair. Most of the eighty odd stockholders of the bank were present, and after the barbecue a meeting was held for the purpose of closing up the subscriptions and issuing certificates to the shareholders. At this meeting Mr. A. H. Young was elected vice-president, the president (Hon. S. T. Blalock) and the cashier (Mr. E. J. Bailey) having been chosen at a previous meeting The bank build ing—a neat, substantial brick structure —is nearly finished, and the bank ex pects to be ready for business about Oct. 1. At a special session of the Quarterly conference of the hirst Methodist church, held Mon lav evening, steps were taken to secure a house of wor ship which, for suitable seating capac ity and beauty of appointment, will realize the brightest hopes of the pas tor and congregation, and be a credit to the citv. Detailed plans and speci fications were adopted, and a commit tee consisting of B T. Thompson, I. P. Bradley, D. T. Mariget, W. ,T. Mur- phey, J. T. Williams, L. H. Hill, W. S. Askew and the pastor, was appoint ed to solicit at once sufficient subscrip tions to secure the building. The com- mitee is empowered to determine the manner and terms of the subscription, and as soon as possible another special session of the quarterly conference will be called, when a building committee will be appointed and the work pro ceeded with. The unanimity and en thusiasm with which tt.i3vnt.er prise be gins is most gratifying, and the church is to be congratulated upon its action. Newnan Methodists are deeply grieved over the death of Bishop Seth Ward, which occurred a few days ago in far-off Japan, whither he had gone on an official visit. Bishop Ward preached at the First Methodist church in this city a year or so ago, and all who heard him were impressed by his eloquent and forceful discourse. Five bishops of the M. E. Church, South, have died since the last General Con ference— Bishop Duncan, Bishop Smith, Bishop Galloway, Bishop Tigert and Bishop Ward. At the next General Conference, which meets at Asheville, N. C., in May. 1910, it is thought that eight new bishops will be elected, in asmuch as Bishop Wilson, Bishop IIoss and Bishop Key are all in feeble health and may pass away at any time. As twelve active bishops are needed to properly administer the affairs of the church, it is more than likely that the number to be chosen next May will be eight instead of six. owing to the in firmity of the three senior bishops now living, but. inactive. Important.

Wil lingham, will be with us. This is a privilege, as the State work in the fall is so heavy it sdmits of but few associ- ational visits.

Tokio, Sept. 20.— Bishop Seth Ward, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, died this afternoon. The bishop arrived in Koke last month on his reg- ular tour of inspection of the Metho dist missions of Japan, and he was ta ken ill shortly after his arrival. Last week he was reported as gradually sinking, and the fatal termination of his illness was not unexpected. Bishop Ward, who came from Hous ton, Texas, sailed from San Francisco late in July to make his annual inspec tion of the church’s foreign missionary work. While he was not suffering from any chronic complaint, it was known that he was in poor health, and his friends attempted to dissuade him from the trip. The bishop was 51 years of age. He served as assistant missionary secretary of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, from 1902 to 1900, and was elected bishop in the latter year. Special Term of Coweta Superior Court in December.
