William Caton Naperville district, Rev. Co. G. Anangst Freeport district, and Rev. J. G. Fidder Southern district. Caton exchanges districts with Anangst. Caton previously served as presiding elder. Sundy school rally and missionary meeting led to about $9,000 raised for Illinois conference missions.
