To promulgate the work of the men of the Friends Society, K. Edf?ar Nicholson, edllor of the American Friend, Jsadvocating a nStional conference of Friends laymen and minister from all meetings in the county. Taking for bis model the recent Indianapolis conference of Methodists Mr. Nicholson suggests that a meeting of similar purpose be held either in Richmond tr Indianapolis. A further suggestion from the originator of the movement is that the conference he hold in February next. A large number of Richmond and Wayne County Friends laymen have been approached on this matter md are unanimous in their support of the proposed gathering. Mr. Nicholson is awaiting replies from many letters he has addressed to prominent Quakers in different parts of the United States and Canada. Although realizing that the conference of the Friends laymen would not be as largely attended as the Methodist gathering nevertheless Mr. Nicholson is of the opinion that the work accomplished will be just as essential to the Friends denomination.

MARRIAGES HERE ARE HAPPY ONES I 'Wayne county marriages seem fairly happy ones. Seemingly only one couple in three find it impossible to live together satisfactorily. So far this year there have been ;'.87 marriage licenses issued, while there have onlybeen 1.'54 divorce suits filed.' Most of the suits heard have been granted while there is still a considerable number awaiting trial. The winter months seem to be the hardest on domestic felicity. During the first part of the year a divorce suit was filed almost every day, but as soon as warm weather came there was a noticeable falling off in the number of complaints. DR.
