There should be no need for a lecture to boys to beware of playing with knives. the Soutii Gfeo¥gia tkrafcrfeneU Was ineld in Berry last week, be ginning Thursday morning ahd closing Saturday afternoon, with a love feast Sunday afternoon. About fifty delegates attended, from nearly-every auxiliary society within the church conference. The officers of the Society are; President, Mrs. E. D. Walker, of Savannah i Corresponding Secreta ry, Mrs. J. B. Cobt>, of MUUon: Treastifer, Mrs. W. D. Williams, bf Macon; Becording Secretary, Mrs. F. C. Vaughn, of Thomas- ville. The officers delivered ex cellent addresses, and the Presi dents of the auxilirry societies made reports, showing the work of the year to have been prosecuted with commendable zeal. The fi nancial report of the Secretary shows that the society has collect ed $23,385.35 since it was Organ ized in Perry in 1879, and the col lections during the year amounted to $4,442.53. It was alio shown that more was collected in the Ma con district, than in any other dis trict of the South Georgia confer ence. Mrs. W. B. Mathews, Secretary Protem, deferred in her report to the fact that $45 of the $200 col lected here Sunday morning came from the Perry Auxiliary, a great er subscription than from any other auxiliary. The society was organized at Perry in December, 1§79, with 34 auxiliaries, 860 members. The membership’now amounts to 4,229, with 187 auxiliary societies. The annual address of Mrs; Walker, the president, was listen ed to with great interest, and she Clearly showed our simplets, hum blest duties to be ofteU important factors in a noble result. Mrs. Cobb, as corresponding secretary, in her address gave en couraging reports of the year’s work, Commending where she could, and exhorting Where she should. Mrs. Williams, treasurer, gave a complete statement of the receipts and expenditures. Mrs. W. A. Sherrill) oi the Perry Auxiliary, delivered ga most ex* Ceilent welcoming address, which was most happily replied to by Mrs. W. B. Mathews, Of Fort Valley. Miss Helen Mathews, of Fort Valley, also delivered a very interesting address,, as did other delegates. Mrs. W. M. Havis, president bf the Perry society, lead a most touching memorial of Mrs. B. C. Kendrick. At the last business meeting, held Saturday morning, sincere resolutions of thanks to the hospi table friends in Perry, in the Methodist and other churches,were Unanimously adopted. Thanks and appreciation Were also voted the ministers, choir, railroad offi cials and bthers whose kind atten tions will remain pleasant memos tries With one and all: Throughout the convetitibii was satisfactory in every respect, show ing most emphatically the grand work our noble women have per formed in behalf of Christianity) in adding their best efforts to the fulfillment of the Divide injunc tion to send the Gospel of Jesus to the people of every nation. With the meeting here taken as siiretyj the work of our noble wo men is surely in strick accordance with the teachings of the Savior; and all good people will surely bid them God speed. Oh account of family affliction— the death of Mrs. Kendrick—the proposed reception at the residence of Miss Florence Cater was not held Friday flight. The weather Was exceedingly inclement froth Wednesday even ing until Sunday morning; and thus the Sdcial enjoyment of the delegates was considerably cur tailed. However, the occasion Wa3 very much enjoyed, by our people and oui visitors. The next Conference of the soci ety will be held at Quitman. —Dr. Warren A. Candler, presi dent of Emory college, preached two exceptionally fine sermons here last Sunday morning and night. The Methodist church was filled to its capacity, and on every side we hear words of praise of the eloquent preacher. His morning SCrmonJ was in behalf of the mis sionary cause, and it drew from the pockets of his hearers over $200 in Contributions. The republican tickets to be used in Houston county next Tues day have been received and liber ally distributed. At about 7 o’clock last Thurs day evening the Ferry Mehtodist church was filled to its utmost ca The energy that lias, been dis played at Petty, Fort Valley; and other Sections of tli'e 'county this pacity with people in sympathy Feek in 'collecting the ^ bounty ex- with the exhibition to be made. Upon the wall just back of the pulpit was the evergreen legend *She Has Done What She Could*’, ahd the pulpit chandeliers weire beautifuily decorated Twith ever green foliage. At;thh]apijointed time the ship builders entered the church, at both doors-,singing a beautiful and appropriate melody hsthey march ed up the aisles, accompanied by the melodious tones of ; the organ. After marching Up and down the aisles two or three times, the chil dren Were seated, and our beloved Pastor, Rev. W: J. Robertson; con secrated the occasion with a mqst appropriate prayer. There were about 35 boys and girls engaged in carrying out the programme, rang ing lii age from about 6 to: 2Q years. Of these, 8 of the Older girls were iii national costume's, representing beautifully and accurately, the people of japan, Chiba, India, Syria; Persia, Mexico, the' North American Indiau,the United States. The fifteen little girls—ship buil ders; Were dressed beautifully in blue and white, and tlie 5 sailor boys Were regular “tars” in em bryo. About half a dozen other boys and girls; not in regular uni form, recited appropriate passages at different stages of the construc tion of the ship. In building the ship, the keel was first placed in position, and successively two lit tle girls placed each plank of the hull in position; each plank con taining an inscription of a virtue that is essential to the trtie and genuine Christian character. As each plank was placed in position, oiie of the builders illustrated in recitation the name of the plank. Then in succession the rudder, the sails; the anchor and the flag were placed in position. Then the Hea then representatives appeared and entered their plea foi ; Christian help, and in unison appealed to the crew for passage on the Gospel ship. This scene; the crew on deck of the Gospel ship under full sail, and the lieathens appealing for succor, was beautiful in the extreme. After the completion of the structure, the little girls asked for contributions, and in response the missionary cause received exactly $23.30. We are absolutely nimble, for lack of available space, to give a detailed account of the slrip-build- ing, or to render the individual praise that is prompted by our ap preciation of the exceptionally meritoritorious rendition. Suffice it to say, the programme was a fine conception, and it was executed to the entire satisfation of all who witnessed it. Many words of praise were accorded the chil dren participating; and the man agers: . -4-*-^ —■■■■ . —We were showii Tuesday a sWord stick-Osage orange wood, with elk horn and silver ;hilt, that wab given to Mr. G.
