Mr. ( arlisle enjoys the advautag- i es of city and country life. He has an elegant home, lint the thing that < most charm-: the visitor is the beautt- ' till landscape in front of the dwelling. This is sown in grasses and planted in rare trees and shrubbery. The lemon tree with its golden fruit and the holly with ils crimson berry and othei i trees, not to be found any where else i in the south, makes the spot an Kden. I Dr. Lathan once visited at this home, i Viewing this spot he said to Mr. Carlisle: "T would be afraid to live here, t lest my children would be so 1 thoroughly content with its beauty f that they would make little effort to reach heaven." Mr. Carlisle replied, t "T like for my children to be raised i in a beautiful home so they may the v better be fit Id for the heavenly ! v home."?K. X. Galloway in A.

There was some testimony to the effect that when I lie gun was brought into the house by one of I he negroes that it was unloaded and the gun mid shell were placed on the table, und (hat after that time a small box Imfl been working with the gun, and it was argued lo the jury by counsel for the defendant that Rogers had vasoti to believe the gun was not oaded and should not be held reipotisible for criminal carelessness.

At the service on Sunday at Cen Iral Methodist church Dr. .J. W. Wolling, the pastor, submitted a report I of the year's work. It is a very grati ilying showing. The congregation has grown and closes one of the most successful years in the history of the church. ( The following is Dr. Wolling's report : After an absence of twenty years in the Brazil Mission of our Metho, (list church, 1 returned to' my native i State last year, and was just a year ; ago appointed by Bishop Morrison to 1 NTewberr,v to Central church. t I was willing, but. not quite sure of , what I could do after working in different surroundings for so long. However, as the year draws to a close I am able to report a successful year. As compared with the work of my predecessors I find that as far as the record goes the pastorate of h'ev. S. 11. Zimmerman was the most successful as to members received. In the three years of his pastorate he added I > the roll of the church seventy eight members.' During this year the number of names added is eighty, or two more than the total received in the three years. It is to mo very grateful to he able to record such results, not as a comparison but as n sign of results obtained during the year. Also in financial matters ihe church has done well. The court n debt has been reduced neariy tw> thousand dollars, and the lotal rai-ed for p.isioral support, bene\ deal co'lec lions ami id'ir objects an -a its t ? five thousand dollars, or a r.-!ie more. So that I may fairlv say this has for Central been a successful year. The various societies of the church have been actively and successfully at work. The amounts for the benevolences of the year, or conference collections, arc not quite all in hand hut will be. The following are tin* amounts as reported : Pastoral support $1,356.00 Conference collections . . . . ">19.00 Calendar society 373.00 Incidentals 405.00 Church debt 1,333.00 Woman's Home Mis. So. .. 376.2") 1 Woman's For. Mis. So 345.00 ICpworth League 71.75 Sunday school 219.00 Total #5,088.00 With this bowing it is clear that t'. congregation of Central has been busily engaged and even now they have not yet accomplished what they hope i to in the future.
