CRAIG & WILSON THE CONFERENCE AT STANLEY A Goad Attendance and Favor ahia Reparta-SJx Yacaf Maa Li* canted—Royal Entartainmont. Tj tbo Editor uf lb« Cuittii The Shelby District Confer ence of the Methodist Episcopal church. South, convened at Stan ley Creek, X. C., on June 25th. The opening sermon was preached on Wednesday eve ning by Rev. W. P. Womble, of Shelby, N. C. The conference was called to older at y A. M. Thursday, Rev. J. H. Weaver, D. D., tne Presiding Elder of the District, in the chair. Rev. C. F. Sherrill, of Shelby, was elected Secretary. Certain brethren were asked by the Presiding Elder to care fully note the pastors’ reports and offer resolutions on same, so as to bring the various interests of the church before the Confer ence for discussion. All of the preachers in the District were present except Rev. J. W. Clegg, who was kept away on account of sickness. Dr. Weaver is an ideal presid ing officer. He does business rapidly but not in haste. At tbe close of the first day all the preachers present had mode their reports. These reports were good, indicating progress up to this time with a hopeful note for the remainder of the year. The District will sustain its rank. i ne visitors to the Conference were: Rev. H. M. Blair, editor of the Advocate, Rev. R. C. Craven, President of Davenport College, Mrs. Lacy Robertson, President of Greensboro College, Prof. G. P. Jones, of Rutherford College. Prof. M. B. Clegg, of Re 11 wood Institute, Rev. W. G. Maiionee, our financial agent, Rev. R. K. Porter,of Greensboro, and Rev. L. A. Palls, of Char lotte. Miss Mary Nolan, ' of Gastonia, District Secretary of tbeWuinan’s Missionary Society, was present in the interest of the work she represents. There were si* very bright and promising young men licens ed to preach, vs. Edward Ed wards, Howard Thompson. Do ras Ballard, I. C. Canipc, Marvin Self and Beverly Wilson. It is a . great pleasure to this writer that he was at one time the pastor of two of these boys, is now pastor of two of them, and that two of them were converted nnder bis ministry. rhe preaching was ooue by Womble, Herman, Bradley, ; Chreitr.bcrg,Blair,McLatirin, and the two Hoyles. And to ssy it was good is not to say enough. One special feature of the con ference was a meeting by the laymen which we think will bear large fruitage. Another special feature was the offering, discus sion, and adoption of a very strong paper on the use of tobacco. This is a beginning from which to date history. The tobacco resolutions were signed by 42 ministers and lay delegates and read as follows: Keaolved, first. That by the grace of God. we will set wholesome ex amples-before all men, as overseers of the flock, by abstaining from the tobacco habit, and.aU other.habits Inconsistent with our high calling as ministers of the Gospel ■Resolved, second, That we will discourage the um of tobacco in all other Christians, by hind adiuoui tiona, by preaching against Us use, and by proper instruction to the peo ple, as to tfle injurious ehect of to bacco on the system. ■ Resolved, third. That it Is the sense of this district conference, that no application for license to preach or for admission into the Annual Conference, who uses tobacco ia^nny form, should be Hceuaad or recom mended to the Annual Conference, unless they solemnly promise to quit l ne conic re nee warn royally en tertained by Stanley Creek. All would be glad to De the guests of these people again soon. It was an eapecial pleasure to the writer to be in the midst of these good people, as be was their pastor for two years: the hearty welcomes and hand-shakes on all sides were proofs that he is not yet forgotten and has a little nook in th«r hearts also. This writer was more thsuentertained in the hospitable home of your Stanley correspondent, C. P. Smith. The pastor, Rev. J. H. West, is closing three years of exceedingly successful work, is popular, and one of the best of entertainers of District Confer ences. Alswt SmntaitL. Loaded. Atkrvllte CHUaa. If you have ever flung aside an ordinary electric light bulb, you have doubtless discovered that the things are loaded. The explosion that follows their be ing thrown against any solid body is not dangerous but they want to be handled with care, all the sane: as a young nan of this city found out, to his sorrow, yesterday. Ha was adjusting a oulb when it "busted," and cut both of his thambs, almost severing one of them.

Grist Yurk»i)W ZMitm. tad. • Mrs. Frances V. Grist, wile of Capt. L. M. Grist, died at her home in Yorkville last Friday evening at 6:35 o’clock and was buried in the Yorkville ceme tery' at 5 o’clock Saturday after noon. Her death was due to a malignant disease known os cancer of the bowels, and was proceeded by many months of physical suffering. Mrs. Grist was bom in the southern portion of Spartanburg county on June 1, 1833, and was a daughter of the late Obadiah Vise, of that connty. She be came a member of Friendship Baptist church iu the same neighborhood in which she was horn, on Christinas day, 1846, and was married to her husband at Oxford, Ala., on July 2, 1854. As the result of her marriage Mrs. Grist became the mother of eleven children—seven sons and four danghten — born in the following order: Willis Miller, Hannah BlUabeth, Mary Helen, Samuel Melton, Lewis George, Wood Davidson, Martha Prances, Oliver BUis, Jessie. Albert Mason, Reginald Marshall. Of these, Willis Miller, the eldest, died in infancy; Helen died of diphtheria during the war; Hannah Elizabeth (Mrs. R. B. Riddle) died in 1899, and Martha Prances (Mrs. R. L. Grier) died in 1893. The other children survive. The history of Mrs. Grist's life is summed up in s single princi ple—devotion to duty. Her first allegiance was to her God and Redeemer. Jesua Christ. Then came her husband and children. Her conceptions of duty were derived entirely from the Scrip tares, of which she was an earn est reader from the time she could first spell the words; her faith was absolute and although she was called upon to endure many trials and tribulation*, she was never known to complain. Whether her lot was Joy or sor row, she took it as the pleasure of God. and)through all the terri ble suffering that accompanied her passage into the great be yond, there was no evidence of any feeling of hesitation or doubt. Just as she lived, she died—a Christian. The funeral services of Mrs. Grist were conducted in accord ance with written instruction* found in her Bible. The body was taken direct from the bouse to the cemetery,-and what was said was said at the grave by Rev. W. E. Hurt, pastor of the York ville Baptist church. Quite a large number of relatives, friends ana acquaintances of the family were present at the funeral. Tennessee now has 1,44$ names on Its State pension rolls of old soldiers, and the total amount paid to them In the pact year was $149,220. No more names can be added unless the Legislstnrc Increases the appro prist ion. The pensioners are divided into three clasees—the Irst receive $300 a year each, the second $200 and the third $100. __ Subscribe to Thk GaSTOWIA OAsamt.

Tha Cmais Graatly Eafoymi an Al B*a« Dim by Min ffaacy Whitesides. To the Editor of Um Otaitti: The swains and domiiel* of our community were made glad last week by an invitation to attend an "At Home” to be given Saturday evening by. Miss Nancy Wliitestdes. Your humble scribe was "on deck" at the ap pointed hoar, and his already timorous heart was set to pitapating way down in hi* shoes when the snrreys and buggies begun to arrive with the fair sex. Jonah like, I felt that Sight would be my only chance of safety—for who could face the smiles of such a bevy of fair damsels. But my ! When yon are at a party at the hospitable home ox Mr. Whitesides you couldn't feel «uy other way but at nome. AH kinds of games were played during the evening and refreshments — yes, we won’t forget, for didn’t those dainty ices make ns almost think that we were in the polar regions with the explorer’s camping on an ice floe? Only instead of the explorers' fare we were treated to the daintiest cake imaginable. In a game of "forfeit," Messrs. Robt. Canon and Edgar L. Lewis, as a fine, served iced drinka to the fair assemblage, but judging by the smiles on the ugly "phis" of both these gents they didn’t take the punishment very hard. Those present were; Misses Ciuaaie Beatic and Jane Whitesides, of Gastonia; Misses Unola, Janie, and Maggie Crawford, Phronia and Florence Palls, of Pleasant Ridge; Miss Ruth Wells, of Arkansas, Misses Mollie Shan non, Etta and Ella Whitesides, Clara Lewis, Bessie Anthony and Nancy Whitesides: Messrs. Kdd Anthony, Ed Crawford, Ed Lewis, Laban Whitesides, Ward and Gns Shannon, Robt, Carson, Lawrence Whitesides, Meek Crawford, Laban Falla, Frank Bell, and Boyee Pay. X. CulimVu tuS?
