Wherever he goes that church will be well served. The official board of Grace Methodist church passed the following resolution relating to Presiding Elder M. S.

That we have an abiding faith and confidence in the loyalty and faithful service of our beloved Presiding Elder, Brother M. S. Marble. and earnestly ask the cabinet to return Bro. Marble and his excellent wife to the Kokomo district, with the assurance that he will be most heartily welcomed." E. E. Springer, Sec. A genuine pleasure is afforded the conference by having Rev.

There is no residence in the city that contains more modern style and beauty than that of B. J. Teveer, on West Madison street. The cut on local page does no justice whatever to the residence, but it reveals to the casual observer the beautiful trees that surround that home, and denotes more than anything else can the pride contained therein. The cultivation of those trees denotes years of care, patience and work, and no when* that you may go, will you find shade that will come within gun shot in comparison. And for the lienefit of those who perhaps will not know, we wish to say that behind those trees stands a handsome and stately structure, richly furnished. Next Sabbath morning Rev. J. J, Fred will preach his last sermon cf this conference year. He has seen over §6,000 provided for the benefit of the M. E. church since he came here, last spring, and with unabating energy has built up the cause all along the line. The North Indiana conference will meet at Decatur next Wednesday morning and continue over

the following Sunday. The quarterly : conference of this place unanimously ’ asks the return of Rev. Fred to this ! field of labor. This move will be api proved and appreciated by ail as it i would certainly show an alarming i ingratitude to dismiss Bro. Fred after i a year of such incessant toil and just on the eve of accomplishing his good I purposes from this, his merited post of duty. Geneva Herald.

The matter will probably be reported at the next meeting. This concluded the proceedings for the night and the council thereupon adjurned. The first American preacher of the Methodist faith was Richard Owen, who was born near Baltimore,

It is needless to say that everything is stitched and stitched again, even the bows on one’s gown. A black brocaded velvet as a waist length cape has a collar, boa ends and three ruffles of mink. Many tucks are to be seen in mourning gowns, pointed vests and guimpes being masses of tucks. Elegant dinner gowns are of mousseline, trimmed with appliques of guipure. with a low neck or sleeveless coat of the same material. Openwork parasols in white silk or mousseline desoie. with colored linings, will be much used in the spring. Some of the ribs will be tipped with gold. It is predicted that black and white lace shawls, bridal veils and flounces will be brought out this spring as never before, and there will be louder calls for all kinds of lace.
