To the Editor in the Plainkaker, Topaka, Kansas Please allow me space in our most valuable paper to report by observation of my first trial in the South District We commenced at Minud, Oct. 30th, with T. R. Granger, pastor. The Quarterly Meeting was accompanied with the spirit of God all day. One man asked the prayers of the church, that he might be converted and become an asst. Christian Monday night we preach at Cow Creek, the other end of the work. I found a rich settlement of people there, all owning the own arms ranging from 20 to 100 acres of land. They have a good church and a good district school and all the members of the school board are elected not. Bio. Grang and it spits out on this circuit this conference year. Number of full members, 75. At Marshall, I go n Rev. W. B Long in good spirit singing his "Hull hupah konga", his church is in a good condit ion spiritually. We had a glri ue meeting baptized and took 7 into the church. I visited the public school and found Prof. Kenneth like a Part with his staff of teachers modelling the minds of their pupils that they may be one strong, educated men and women, morally, religiously and intellectually. Rev. Lung has invited the District Conference and the Sunday School Convention to meet there. Number of full members, 43 At Sedalia, we found Pey, J. Shor, pastor, taking hold of the work with a steady hand. He is a successful pastor, a church organizer, and he knows no failure. We predict for his a glorious success this conference year. The Quarterly Meeting was a success along all lines. Number of full members, 79. The George R. Smith College, created by the Methodist Episcopal Church for Colored people, is located in Sedalia, which makes it the "Athens of Pettis County" and with our own Quintanilla University at Quindaro, Kansas, which now has an enrollment of 250 under the management of that philosopher. Prof. H. F. Kealing these two colleges ought to con- trial all of the Negro student's of our Methodist persuasion West of "Mason and Dixon's line." I hope that these two colleges will continue to flourish until students will come out of them graduated by the hundred, with their diplomas in their hands shouting, Eureka! Eureka! Higginsville: Rev. C. N. Douglas, D. D. is saving this charge its second year. He has everything in his hand. His officers, members and congregation will help him and his faithful wife. We held a very pleasant and successful Quarterly Meeting and Conference the Dr. informs me that he was satisfied with all the services. Membership. 13s. We spent Thanksgiving there and presented the Thanksgiving session from 1311 Palms. 1st were the attendance was large, the church was beautifully decorated. The Thanksgiving menu was delicious. Four turkeys, four of possum-shaped mice and brown with sweet potatoes all mounted them. The pigs were everything in the line of sweets. Hence it was good to be there. Wavely Rev. P. Thomas is serving his kindness in the church. He is a zealous pastor, and he is doing all in his power to make how the success. His work has been called beauty to the pulpit by putting a 1500 ring on it. And this has and I have in mind, different appoinment to the interior of the church. His daugher is a graduate from our Western University and has been appointed to her at Waverly, which is quite a compliment to him and the members of his church. This church, like all the others, needs a revival of a religion. My prayers are that it may come all along the line. The Quarterly Meeting was all that could be expected under the circumstances. Members, 25 Pleasant Green and Speed Circuit: Rev. B Cummings, pastor, has entered into the work with great zeal. We had a glorious Quarterly Meeting and a large attendance. The members of Pleasant Green church are all farmers owning their own homes and are getting along nicely. The pastor is confident of a glorious success this conference year. Membership, 32. Boonville: Rev Wm Alexander, pastor, is highly esteemed by all the members of the St. Matthews A. M. E. Church. We had a very pleasant Quarterly Meeting. One convention, four at the anxious seat. The officers were so glad to have Brother Alexander that they gave him $5000 to move his household effects and his family. The outlook is good for a prosperous year. Members, 130. This is my old home, where I was born, and where I first received the gospel light. I stood and looked at the old school house, my old "Alma Mater". I said, "Thank God for the church and school house." Wattensburg and Centerview: Rev. 15. 15. Treilwell is starting off nicely at this place. I found him in a glorious revival. Centerview conversions 5, and full members 15. We hope to build up this circuit and make it what it ought to be. We have no church at Wattensburg, but a valuable church lot, with a good foundation on it 10x30 feet, in a desirable location, and only with we had a thousand dollars to put a church on this foundation. This progressive young man, the pastor, could accomplish a great good there for "Afti in Methodism" Butler Rev. C. R. Davis, pastor. I found him busy engaged in his work, hoping and praying for success. We have a faithful set of members there. The Quarterly Meeting was very successful it being Christmas day, it was a jubilee and the proper time for our mental service. The Lord was with us. Number of full members, 18. Nevada: Rev. J. S. Blake, past r. He is an old expenclal minister. It's members informed me that they like him very much as a pastor and preacher. We hope for him a successful year. Membership. 22. Pleasant Hill: Rev. M McLerren, pastor, is serving his second year, and seems to pastor his church with perfect ease. His members like him and he knows no failure. His Quarterly Meeting was well attended and the spiritual favor ran high. Membership 50. Malta Bend: Rev. J. H. Ranall, pastor, is serving his fourth year with success. He is a revivalist preacher and keeps his church spiritually alive. He will succeed. Membership, 70. This concludes my report for the Sedalia Missionary District. We hope our next Quarter will as successful as this one has been thus far. We are all praying for the speedy recovery of our esteemed Bishop Grant, who is very much in disposed at this writing. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year, we beg to remain. Yours for the success of our District. M. COLLINS, P. E. 517 Nebraska Ave. K. C. K.

H. P. MILLEK, City Commissioner "One Good Term Deserves Another." It can very truthfully be said for our present board of city commissioners that they have served the people faithfully and well. Perhaps at no time in the later day history of the city of Topeka have the political conditions been so quiet and satisfactory to the people than they are at this time. It can not perhaps be attributed to the new system of government so much as to the men who are at the head of the affairs of the people. Topeka is a clean city, a beautiful city that should be appreciated by its citizens, because they have made it beautiful, although it has taken years to accomplish its present beauty, and it seems to be the duty of every citizen to insist, in a spirit of jealousy, that the affair of the city be given over to those who have demonstrated an ability, as well as a disposition to perpetuate all the attractive and beautiful features that have made Topeka one of the prominent business centers of the West. We commend the administration of Mr. Miller and his colleagues and believe that they are entitled to another term. Until we can find better men let us stick to those we have. WAVERLY, MISSOURI.
