The thrifty farmer is now bestirring
himself preparing for the coming

your land well, and use plenty of

Let the farmers start out with the
fiixed determination to grow at home
this year, as many of the necessaries
of life as possible. To lie truly pros
perous they must sell more and buy

the only way to make farming pay. ,

- 'AnsonviUe Circuit.
The following report was submit
ted to the first Quarterly C inference
for Ansonville circuit and by resolu
tion the Presiding Elder was request
ed to have it published:
The conference year which but re
cently closed, was a prosperous and
pappy one for the Ansonville circuit.
Nearly all of the churches were rep
resented at the Stewards Meeting at
Ansonville, Nov. 22nd. We all re
joiced over the fact that 43 names
bad been added to our circuit regis
ter; that-we had a membership of
545; that of our membership only six
persons had -died during the year;
and none of these officials or espe
cially active members; that we had
4S8 officers, teachers and pupils in
our Sunday Sehoole, r89 per cent of
the entire membership on the circuit;
that ever; church on the circuit was
doing- something in the way of ma
terial improvement; that the sum of
$1,024 25 had been raised an expend
ed for church building and improve
ment; that every claim against the
circuit had been paid in full except
that of Church Extension: and that
the pastor could leave six days before
Conference met with his salary paid
in full and enough over to- pay - his
expenses to Conference. ' " '
..For all purposes we raised during
the year a total of $2,322.91, being an
average : of $4 25 per memben. - We
rejoiced and thanked God that, not
withstanding droughts and freshets
and hard times, we sent up the best
report ever made from this circuit.
Immediately upon the adjourn
ment of conference, without taking
a vacation, the pastor returned to his
charge, And has conducted religious
services at each of the six churches.
Every where ,ie has received a wel
come that' has: 'drawn- his heart
nearer than ever to the people of this
