On the 25tli, there will be no session of the conference, but the opening ser mon will be preached by Rev. J. B. Johnston, at 8 p. m. On the last day, Sunday, of course there will be no business session. The district embraces about 2$ churches, served by 18 preachers, all of whom will attend the con ference, providence permitting. The lay delegates will include about double tile number of min isters, and with the visitors from a distance, there will be about 75 guests in Perry ,during the confer ence. At the homes and hotels the delegates will be entertained most cordially, and we are certain the proverbial hospitality of Perry people will again be illustrated. Committees have been appointed, and within a few days, at least before any delegate arrives, it will be known where every one will be at home during the conference. Each day there will be business meetings and religious services, to all of which the public will have cordial invitation to attend. Rev. J. B. McGehee, presiding elder of the district, will preside over the business sessions of the conference. The pastors of the churches in the district are: Revs. J. B. John ston, LI. B. Bardwell, I. F.

The first game of baseball wit nessed in Perry this season was played last Wednesday, June 4th, between Marshallville aud Perry teams. Witnessing the game were a large number of home folks and a few visitors, including several young ladies from Fort Valley. The visiting team was compos ed of young gentlemen who have many friends here, and they play- ed fairly good ball. The Perry team was selected the day before the game, and at least two were two boys under 15 years of age who had never before play ed a match game. The game was played with spir it, and with quick time. Some excellent double plays were made, but though interesting, 1 },the game was notimore than ordinary from a professional standpoint. The visitors started off with 3 runs in the first innings, followed by the home team, with two runs. The visitors won the game by a score of 11 to 7, as follows: Marshallville 3,0,1,4,0,1,0,0,2: 11 Perry 2,0,0,0,3,0,0,1,1; 7 The batteries were Sperry and Andrews for Marshallville; Coop er aud Westbrook for Perry. .

After severalal weeks of dry weather we are having refreshing rains. Some hail fell during the rain yesterday afternoon, but v not enough to injure the crops. How many readers of the Jour nal kdow that hail-stones con tain a small particle of dust, and who can tell why it does? • In some -instances it is ^visible even before the hail has quite melted. A great deal of interest was manifested in the primary last Thursday, but despite the enthu siasm of the voters the best of feeling prevailed. The friends of Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Smith were delightfully enter tained at their home a few even ings since. The occasion was a musicale given in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer of Knoxville. Capt. S. H.

Stt : ‘ The program was-interspersed with’? welt-rendered recitatiqiis by the children of the school. ■ ' Many patrons of the school, es pecially the good mothers, were out to show their interest in the dear children and bid adieu to the much’ beloved and faithful teach ers. There were visitors from Tlrnrpe, Byron, Macon, and Unadilla. The program 'was as follows: America—Song, by school. Military Gollop—Bohn, Mam ie Hardison and Miss Walton. ..

Nellie’s Prayer—Recitation,Eva DuPree. A talk by Teacher—J. D. Ren- froe. God Be With You —Song, by School. Each pupil deserves credit for doing his part so well, thereby showing that he had received careful training. I wish to mention specially the talk by Mr. Renfroe in behalf of all the teachers. It was good, sound advice, mostly to the pu pils, showing his devotion to them, admonishing them to look upward, onward, forward, ever striving to gain knowledge, to do the right, and will of Him above, reminding them that the day for study does not close with the school, but only when the breath of eternal life shakes off its mor tal frame. I notice the energy of the teach ers and pluck of the children have placed large political maps on the walls, formed a library of about 80 volumns, erected a flag pole which floats a home-made symbol of American pride, and purchased a large (walking?) bell. All present recognized the mer its of the entertainment and with one accord praised the success in the rendition of the program. May Ben Hill school, children, patrons, and teachers remain wide awake and have many more successful years.
