REV. E. H. WALLIS
WILL BE TRIED.
Gathering Of Methodists Of White
River Conference At Paragcmld—
Bishop Hoss Appoints Inves
tigating Committee—Offi
cers Elected.
Paragould, Dec. 3. -The White river
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, convened in annual
Session at the Methodist church in
this city this morning at 9 o’clock.
Paragould is a prosperous and pro
gressive place and will entertain the
conference in a most hospitable man
ner. This is the third time the con
ference has been entertained here.
The preachers and laymen are always
glad to come.
Bishop E. E. Hoss, one of the most
intellectual men and strongest preach
ers in the South, opened the confer
ence with religious exercises. This is
the fifth conference over which he
has presided since his election to the
bishopric last May. He has given
very general satisfaction thus far and
promises to be one of the most popu
lar of the ten active bishops of the
church.
Dr. Z. T. Bennett was elected secre
tary and W. M. Wilson, N. E. Skinner,
S. H. Babcock, Jr., and F. M. Daniel
assistant secretaries.
Helena and Paragould districts made
splendid financial reports. Both these
districts report all assessments order
ed by the conference paid in full.
The pastors of the various churches
of Helena and Jonesboro districts had
their characters passed and made their
reports, which were perhaps on the
whole the best ever reported in these
lllBll IUl».
The character of Rev. R. R. Durham
was arrested and a committee of three
were appointed by the bishop to make
investigation of charges and report to
the conference as early as convenient.
The bishop appointed the committee
for the trial of Rev. E. H. Wallis, who
has been under suspension from the
ministry for about three weeks on the
charge of falsehood.
One of the most noted men among
the delegates is Rev. Geo. Brinsfield
of Widener. This venerable preacher
was born May 4, 1801, in North Caro
lina. After reaching manhood in his
native state he emigrated to Georgia,
where he resided for a number of
years, there meeting and wedding his
first wife. He came to Arkansas
thirty-four years ago and has resided
in Izard county. He is a local preach
er, and one whose name, when called,
is pronounced by the bishop, “char
acter good” without questions being
asked or danger of arrest. This pat
riarch, who has lived in two centuries,
speaks with a strong voice and can
recount story after story of bear hunts
and the pursuit of deer in Georgia,
Alabama and Arkansas. His favorite
sport has been the chase of the deer
and his eyes flash with new life when
he relates his greatest triumphs with
his rifle.
DEATH OF LUIN MARTIN.
J. Luin Martin, son of Mrs. J. M.
Cook, departed this life last Friday
evening, November 28th, 1902, at the
home in Batesville, after an illness of
more than a year. During this long
illness which he bore with great for
titude he was most tenderly nursed
and cared for by his mother and his
step-father, Mr. J. M. Cook, and his
brother, sister and cousin. The par
ents took him to Texas and then to
Colorado where they hoped for bene
fit from a change of climate, but all
that loving care and medical skill
could do was unavailing. With sor
rowful hearts they brought him home
from California in a special car on the
24tb ult., realizing that the end was
near.
Luin would have been 22 years old
in January, and was in the promise of
young manhood, which had before
his illness seemed so bright. He was
most affable and popular and his
friends were numbered by his ac
quaintances. All of them share the
grief of the relatives and the sincere
sympathy felt with them comes from
the whole community.
The funeral services were from the
residence Tuesday afternoon, conduct
ed by Rev. J. M. Hawley.—Batesville
Bee.

GOVERNMENT REPORT
CREATED NO SENSATION.
The government cotton prediction,
says T. H. Hutchinson, the manager
of the Taylor Commission Company,
speaking to a reporter for the Little
Rock Gazette was not the sensation
when it was announced at the board
of trade Wednesday at 11 o’clock that
it was a year ago. In the latter case
the bears became active at once, and
the market fell 60 points immediately.
Yesterday, however, the market fell
only 20 points, and soon recovered
twelve of them, the close being only
ten points below the close of the day
before. The government estimate
was 10,417,000, which was not far from
what the average estimate in Little
Rock has been all the time. The
government report, say8 Mr. Hutch
inson, is gathered from every part of
the South from individual estimates
of certain sections. Hundreds and
hundreds of these estimates are re
ceived from any one who cares to
send them, as well as from instructed
agents, and the grand average is
taken. The secret of the estimates is
preserved with zealous care by the
government officials. The figures are
not made up until within a few min
utes of the announcement in the New
York Cotton Exchange, at noon,
which is 11 o’clock in Little Rock. It
would be an obvious advantage to
any cotton broker if he knew at
axactly what moment the market
would fluctuate, either up or down,
and were it so known millions could
be made by the scratch of a pen.
DIED IN THE DEPOT.
A negro named Hill, who was
brought up from Bald Knob on No.
12, Wednesday and put off at this
station, died not ten minutes later be
fore nine o’clock in the colored wait
ing room, where his body was still
laying at press hour.
Coroner Frank Harrison of Tucker
man was called down and after an ex
amination of the body, pronounced
death due to natural causes.
Dr. J. M. Jones as county judge re
fused an appropriation for the dead
man’s burial and the Iron Mgfmjain
officials instructed Agent Reatney that
their responsibility had ceased after
conveying the negro to the point
called for by his ticket.
Thursday afternoon, a paper was
drawn up for subscriptions and it is
probable that the deceased will be
buried by private contributions.
OVERFLOW CUTS AROUND DAM.
The recent rise in White river has
played havoc with the dam at lock
No. 1, just below Batesvihe says the
Bee. The tremendous force of the
high-water current cut into the bank
at the end of the concrete abutment
at the south end of dam and tha
channel of the river has changed
around that end of the dam. The dam
structure proper was not injured, but
it will cost $30,000 or $40,000 to do the
work necessary to bring the channel
under control again. No blame is at
tached to Capt. Parkin or the men
under him for the disaster, as they did
the construction work faithfully by
the planB and specifications furnished
from the office.
TALKING ABOUT US.
Newport has had a big celebration
because of the completion of their
elegant new depot, which is made of
pressed brick. She has improvement
worthy of the business men’s demon
stration. From the railroad rumors
that have been floating in that vicinity
recently it looks as if she will need all
depot room that she has, and more.—
Searcy Citizen.
COLLISION BELOW MEMPHIS.
Last week, the steamer Kate Adams
bound up the Mississippi collided with
the City of Peoria, fifty-five miles be
low Memphis. The latter boat w'aeon
her way to White river and was in
charge of Capt. Wilcox. The acci
dent was due to a misunderstanding
! of sight signals and the White river
boat sustained injuries to the amount
of §1,000.
