State Game Law Defective.

Rolla-According to a ruling Of
Judge L. NJ. Woodside of the Nine
teenth Judicial circuit, made at
Waynesville, the game law enacted by
the last legislature is almost worth
less. The judge sustained a motion
filed by Watson & Holmes of Rolla to
quash an information filed charging G..
v. Randolph of Phelps county with
hunting without a license in Pulaski
county. In effect the court holds that
the game and fish law provides no
penalty for hunting without a license,
and therefore as there is no penalty
there could be no punishment in case
of a conviction. Section 81 declares it
to be a violation of law for a citizen
of the state not having a license to
hunt outside of his county, but no.
where is any penalty prescribed.

Rev T. A. Kerley, presiding elder
OF the Columbia district, occupied the
pulpit Of the First Methodist church,
Sunday morning and night. At the
morning service he preached an able
sermon to a congregation that filed
nearly every seat in the auditorium.
Dr. Kerley preached with great power
of the divine manifestation of the love
Of God. 1t was an able exposition OF
the gospel story Of Mary's devotion to
the Master and its manifestation in
her act Of pouring precious ointment
upon the Savior's head. He drew
many valuable lessons from the
Savior's rebuke to those who would
have condemned Mary for her act or
devotion.
Owing to the absence Of the pastor.
Rev. A. E. Clement, who is in South
Georgia because Of the illness OF Mrs.
Clement, the second quarterly con-

that Mr.. Clement will be able to be
present at the conference. Should he

turn to South Georgia to remain with
Mrs. Clement until about May /. Mr.
Clement is member Of the Confer
ence Mission Board and is anxious TO
be present at the mid-winter meeting
at Nashville this month and for that
reason will come home and then re-
turn.
