Dr. J. T. Hanna, of Dwyer, was elected moderator and Rev. Wm. H. Zimmerman, of Torrington, secretary and treasurer. The report of the committee on state convention showed that four Baptist churches have been organized in Wyoming during the past year. A new church building was dedicated during the year at Golden Prairie, costing $5,000 and one at Carneyville costing $3,500. There are still six county seat towns and three counties in Wyoming without Baptist churches.

An interesting and instructive feature was the showing of lantern slides on the result of mission work in India. They were shown by Dr. Murphy, a missionary from that country.

Reports on women's work showed progress, especially in finances.

The conference appointed a committee on prohibition and law enforcement to help enforce the dry laws.

The Baptist organization of Torrington desires to thank the people for their hospitality in opening their homes and also the Methodists for the use of their church.
