The animal meeting of the Evans▼ille district of the Women’s Foreign Missionary Society of the M. E. church met at Petersburg Wednesday of last week. .There was quite a large attendance of delegates from all over the district and the meeting was one of the most interesting that has ever been held. Quite a number of members of the Evansville Society were present among whom were Mrs. H. M. Limiley, Mrs. W. H. Woods, Mrs. C. E. Paeon, Mrs. Fred Holloway, J^rs. G. N. Worthington, M-rs. Davis, Mrs. W. H. Halstead, Mrs. W. W. Ross, Miss Faunie Woods, of Trinity,"and Mrs. Akin and Miss Ollie Daum, of Ingle street. The meeting was called to order promptly at 7:30 Wednesday evening and in the absence of the president, Mrs. H. M. Lindley, of Evansville was called to the chair and filled the duties of that office very acceptably. The program included Scripture reading by Mrs. W. II. Halstead prayer by Rev. Anderson, of Petersburg, which was followed by an ad- ' dress of welcome by Rev. Anderson, which served to make all feel thoroughly at home. Mrs. J. A. Bowman " on the part of the Petersburg society, also welcomed the delegates in a very pleasiirg manner. A solo by Miss Marv Anderson and a recitation by Miss Fannie Woods concluded the session. The session Thursday morning began with prayer by Mrs. Ridtey, the conference secretary. She met the auxiliary officers and delivered a short talk to them. She Is full of enthusiasm and plans for help of the workers, and no oue could listen to her and not be inspired to do something for the missionary cause. This auxilary meeting was followed by devotional services conducted by Mrs. Davis. The minutes of the society for 1893 were read by Mrs. Akin and approved.

Then came a series of reports from the auxilary societies which were of an cx/frcme interesting character. Miss Fannie Lant represented the young ladies of Trinity church, while Miss Ollie Damn represented the “Pearl Gatherers”of Ingle Street. Mrs. Bacon reported for the Ella Vickery Band of Trinity, and read a letter from the little girl they are supporting in Rome. Mrs. Henry Head, secretary of the Petersburg auxiliary, reported that the society is in good shape and doing good work. Mrs. Akin reported for the Ingle street society, and it was very encouraging, indeed. Mrs. Ridley, the district secretarv, then asked for expressions from the ladies preseut on “What constitutes a successful missionary meeting?” “How can we enlist more women in missionary work?” and “The best way for raising money for missions.” These questions were responded to by several ladies and a uumber of suggestions made that will bear fruit. This interesting exercise was followed by a reading most charmingly given by Miss Ollie D&um. The election of officers followed, with this result: * President, Mrs. II. M. Lindley, Evansville. Secretary—Mrs. Fred Holloway, Evansville. ' • Becoming Secretary—Miss Howe, Evansville. Treasurer—Miss Lizzie Mott, Evansville. First Vice President—Miss Anderson, of Petersburg. Second Vice President—Mrs. Wolf, of Princeton. .Third Vice President—Mrs. King, of EvausviUe. Mrs. W. H. Woods read a selection bearing on the missionary work, which was followed by miscellaneous business, and the meeting closed with a prayer for temperance. The afternoon session was opened by Miss Faunie Woods, the “I Wills” of the Bible being the subject, which was handled with decided success. A solo, “One Sweetly Solemn Thought,” by Miss Mary Crouch, was verv beautiful. Little Myri Parker delighted the delegates with a beautiful recitation. The corresponding secretary, Mrs. Fred Kolioway, then read a splendidly prepared report, which was listen

i ed to with the greatcnt interest. Mrs. 1it.ll. Ymuitf delivered an address on missions, which wa* very highly enjoyed. Following a recitation by ]Esther King, the delegates were in rited to witness a drill by the Eoworth Guards, composed of sixteen young boys drilled by Rev. Anderson. Tiie afternoon session consisted of devotional exercises by Mrs. W. H. Woods, a solo by J. B. Young and a pretty little scene enacted by four girls with their dolls, carried out the Idea of the missionary work of the church. A solo by Miss Coon rad and an address by Mrs.. Ridley closed tbe meeting. The choir of the church which is composed of some very excellent voices, rendered some fine music for the delectation of the delegates during their meeting.—Evansville Journal. Farmer’s Institute. The Pike County Farmer’s Institute will be held at the court house in Petersburg, on Monday and Tuesday, December 17 and 18. Messrs. W. B.

A t raveling man, speaking of “hard times,” tells how they are made in a great measure. An old farmer who had iong wanted a new house and had the cash laid up in the bank for it went to town for the lumber, nails, etc., and before ordering visited a grocery. There he heard lamentations about hard times. Then at a dry goods store simular talk was going on. Up at the county office the taxpayers were groaning about hard times. The old gentleman was deeply discouraged. He forgot he had the price of (he desired new house in the lianlr.' Ho lett no order, but drove home and soberly told his wife they would have to do without the house until times got bettfer., , --- Henry Wilson, the postmaster at VVelshton, Florida, says he cured a case of diarrhoea of long standing in six hours, with one small bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea.

The regular payment of pensions at the Pension Agency for ItidUna at Indianapolis, which began on Monday 5th Inst., and closed on Saturday 10th inst., was a record breaker for Indiana. Pension Agent Spencer paid out during that time to the veterans of Indiana the immense sum of $2,333,505,93, a larger sum than has been paid out in any previous week since the establishment of the agency. The greatest curse to a neighborhood is the gossiper, the talker and the meddler. The fairest flower of friendship has been blighted by the misrepresentations of persons who have no regard for the friendship and good will of others. But like the thistle growing beside the rose, that pricks the fingers of the unwary, they are soon held in abhorrence and are shunned. Last Friday morning smoke was seen issuing from the roof of the VanNada hotel on the corner of Walnut and Eighth streets, and the alarm turned into the fire department. The fire laddies responded at once and soon had the fire under control. The damage was very slight save that from water. The fire originated from "a defective flue. Loss covered by insurance.
