TO Be STRICTLY ENFORCED

the Public Highways Causes
Him to Order all Officials
to Make Arrests.

During the past few days there
have been many complaints filed with
County Judge H. P, Purnell about
stock running at large on the public
highways of the county. This after
noon three eparate and distinct COM
plants were made and Judge Purnell
Immediately notified all constables
and the sheriff and his deputies to
make arrests of owners OF all stock
found running at large on the pixies
or roads of the county.
Judge Purnell said that this law is
old and that every one in the county
is fully advised about it. There is no
excuse for owners of stock not know
ing that it is strictly against the state
law to permit their stock to run on
the highways and he therefore has no
inclination to show mercy to any Of
fender.
Persons who have been in the habit
of permitting their stock to run on the
pixies and roads were warned this af-
ternoon in a statement made by Judge
Purnell that they will in the future
be expected to properly care for all of
their animals and that when any stock
is found on the roads by the officers
warrants will be Immediately issued
for their owners and prosecution will
Immediately follow.

CHRISTIAN LIFE IS
ALL THAT'S WORTH
uv|NG,P ,PAs10RSAYS
DR.. B. b. Bailey at First Baptist
Church Delivers Powerful Sermon
on the Life Worth Living
~The Calculation Worth
WHILE" TOnight's
Topic.

The life that extends beyond the
grave is the only sort Of life worth
living, Pastor Bailey, Of the First Bap-
tist Church, said Wednesday evening
in the third of series of sermons in
a special revival effort now being put
forth by the Baptist congregation.
Because of the threatening weather
there was not such large audience
present to hear this wonderful mes
sage but those who came in face Of the
threatening storm heard one Of the
best sermons heard here in long
while.
In a most forceful manner the pas
tor showed his audience that life
lived solely on the basis Of royal an
cestry, culture or morality was not the
life worth living. He had nothing to
say against any Of these things but he
plainly. established the fact that they
we're not worth while at the end Of
life.
Paul was used as an example OF all
three Of these lives and also of the life
worth living-the Christian life. DR..
Bailey's appeal was to the professed
Christians to live the life worth liv-
ing.
The music for the evening was very
beautiful but the choir was greatly
crippled because of the weather. 1t is
thought that there will be much
larger chorus choir at this evenings
service than yet during the meeting.
DR.. Bailey's subject tonight will be
"The Calculation Worth While and
all are given a cordial invitation to
attend. The song service begins
promptly at 1880 o'clock.
The Bible Readers course is grow
ing in interest each day. Many chap
ters were read during Wednesday.
