The rules Of the church were iron
clad" and in many ways differed from
ours OF today. The women, young
and old, were forbidden to wear jewel
ry or gay ornaments, their apparel
had to be modest and simple. Musical
instruments were not allowed. One
instance of the strictness of their
rules was this: The son Of the above
mentioned Mrs. Word was exceedingly
fond Of his violin, or what was then
playing his instrument and they
turned him out Of the church.
Fast days were rcligiously observed,
which custom was never abandoned
by those sanity people Of old.
AS members and means increased
this small church was torn down and
very near it was built the good old
church so many Of us remember, now
the rcsidcucc Of Mr.. Tolbert. This
was built about 1851 and 1852. Tho
building lot for this church was do,
mated to the Methodist people by Mr.
john Darlington, father Of the late
S,.obo D. Darlington. Mr.. Darlington:
generosity was unlimited for he usct
his own skilled workmcn in hclpin&
erect tho building, besides contribut
ing a great deal to lift all indebted
ness.
In 1852 the church was dedicated b.
Dr. WhitcfOrd Smith. At its dedication
many souls were converted and joine'
the church, some of whom gave thei
lifelong devotion and service to Go
and to the church. There are descend
ants now in this church of some @
these.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Jan. 21-The antici- pated opposition to the confirmation of W. A. Coher as member of the penitentiary commission vanished in- to thin air at the joint session of house and senate on Monday after noon. But one vote was registered against the governors appointee. A short speech commenting Judge Co., ker was made by Senator Collins, who represents Commissioner Coker's home county, and Senator Wood, from an adjoining county seconded the mo- tion. The roll was then called and only one voted in the contrary.
 There is a decided sentiment in the assembly in favor of the state, and the people of the state, erecting monument to the Arkansas sol- diers and sailors who fell in the Eu- ropean war. Senator Brown has in- troduced bill to appropriate $10,000
 
 or any part thereof to provide funds for the statue, but a provision is made for public subscriptions, in which event the entire amount appro- priated by the state need not be used. The governor, auditor and treasurer of state is the board named to carry out the plans, and they may decide what shall be the nature of the memo rial. Some of the senators favor the expenditure of the money on mem orial hospital.
 Several changes are made in state boards by appointments sent to the senate Monday afternoon by Gov. C.. H. Brough for confirmation. The most noteworthy is the resignation of Gordon Huffmaster as inheritance tax attorney, effective March 1, and the appointment of Judge Henry s. Yocum to succeed him.
 w. E. Lemon of Little Rock suc- ceeds B. w. Torreyson, resigned, as

i member of the State Normal board. Prof. Torreyson is now superintend- ent of the Normal. Joe Frauenthal of Conway is also named member of this board to succeed T. o. Owen, whose term has expired. Dr. c. P. Merriwether succeeds himself as member of the Tubercul- sis Sanitorium board. B. J. Reeves succeeds G. A. Vincenheller, deceased, as a member of the State Board of Control. R. E. l.. Wilson succeeds A. W. Hall on the First District Agri- cultural school board, and Richard Whitaker succeeds himself on the same board. Jack Bernhardt and D. A. Bradham succeed themselves on the State Board of Education.
 Never before in the history of the Arkansas Legislature have so many bills been introduced in the first five working days of the session. At the close of the session yesterday there were 87 bills in the senate and 88 in the house.
 One of the important bills intro duced in the house yesterday after noon, concerning the whole state, is one by Hillhouse of Jackson, making numerous amendments to the Fish and Game Act. Among the changes proposed are the following.
 To authorize general hunting li- cense.
 To allow market fishermen to use any kind of tackle.
 To provide more protection for game fish.
 To require all trappers to have a license.
 To require all dogs used for hunt ing to be licensed.
 To change date of closed season on fur-bearing animals from October l. March 1 to November 1-February 15.

ENE MY NATIONS
 ARE BARRED
They Should Not Be Allowed to Join Until They Are Proven Trust
 worthy Nations.

Paris, Jan. 20.-Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey cannot be ad- snitted to the league of nations at the present time, but they should be al- lowed to join as soon as the league IS satisfied that they are entitled to be ranked among the trustworthy nations of the world.
 This is the opinion of Lord Robert Cecil, who has turned over to the printer the British plan for the league which will be submitted to the peace congress.
 Lord Robert made this statement tonight:
 "The league should be all-embrac- ing-for all trustworthy nations, since it is for the good of humanity"
 Asked for definition of trust worthy" Lord Robert replied that in case of Germany one criterion would be in the establishment of govern ment free from military dominance. This would be guarantee of trust worthiness. It is obvious, he said, that Germany cannot be admitted until she has brought order out of the present chaos and the complexion of the new government is seen.
 Tn Austria the situation is quite different from that in Germany, and very difficult since Austria has been split up by revolution while Germany has held together, said Lord Romt, and it appeared probable that sever al separate states would develop from the Austrian empire.
 ssHere as in Germany" he said trustworthy governments must be es- tablished. But there is no reason why the various states should not come in when they show themselves fitted to do so, irrespective of the rest"
