Bishop Embry, who pre sided, preached a powerful sermon Tuesday morning and ordained four young men. The conference spssiou was pleasant throughout. It is said that this conference raised more money for Allen Uni- VFrsity than either of the other two conferences of the State. Be fore the adjournment on Wednes day night Bishop Embry read th< appointments. There were man) important changes. Revs. Wm. Thomas, W. D Chappelle, S F. Flegler and J. G. Sampson, presid ing elders, have been returned to their several districts. Rev. A. W. Heyward, who was presiding elder of the Marion district, has been sent to Fort Motte ci r cuit. Rev C. Pierce Neison has been trans ferred from the Columbia confer ence and appointed presiding eider of tlie Marion district; Rev. D. A. I jjfciiBfiiKii #o 'rtnIlia Rev. D. A.

Samuel Washington transferred from the Charleston couterence and sent to Marion. R«v. J P. Allston goes to Darlington. Rev. T. J Walker is sent to Florence. Rev D. H Bowen has b*-sn trans ferred to the Columbia conference and stationed at Bethel church, Columbia. The members of the church here regret very much to give ip Rev. Bowen. He served them faithfully for three yean, finithed the church building—now ouo of the prettiest in town,—re duced their indebtedness and greatly increased the membership. He goes to Columbia with an uu tarnished reputation and carries with him the best wishes of the citizens of Florence, both white and colored. If he contin ues to be as successful in bis new held as he has been in the past, we may expect for him a higher position in his church in the near future. Advertising pays. NOTICES.

Mr. Cutler was placed under the influence of an ai {esthet ic and the surgeon made an incision at tho proper point. B t he didn’t find thi vorifirm appendix. Mr. Cuth-r didn’t have any.
