We had a fine rain Saturday night
and Sunday morning and looks like
we might get more This is the first
good rain we have had in six weeks
and could stand another just like it.
P. @. Garrison, of Warren, Arkan-
Bas, was here June 30th investigating
the murder Of his son, O'Bryan CARR
son, whose body was found lying on
the west side of the Missouri Pacific
railroad track, two miles north of An
napolis, on the morning of June 18th.
Mr.. Garrison says his son would have
been % yearsold in September, that.he
was never known to have trouble with
any one, and he is at a complete loss
TO understand why any one should
want to murder him. The young man
was never known to gamble or drink.
He always had money and had been
working in the ship yards in New Or
leans for eight months at good wages,
He was laid off May 25th and went
home for two weeks, and then left fol
Little Rock, Arkansas, to hunt a Job.
It was just one week from the day the
boy left home that news was received
of his death.

Notwithstanding the fact that
preparation for the Assembly reduced

was a good day for Jul church. At
the closing of the Sunday School it
was apparent that the attendance
was much above the average, but
some had come in so late that they
were not counted. superintendent

culties this SUNNI er. Let US encour-
age him by com ing regularly and on

The number present at the morning
service and the very close attention
and the deep interest were inspiring
to the pastor.

dent of the B. Y. P. u, led the even

wished that every member were
present to receive the blessing that
came to those who were there. Those
who took active part did their work
well.
There were several strangers at the
different services. Let us be thought
full to greet and welcome such.
All services adjourned for two
weeks on account of the Assembly.

I understand the Methodist Church

brate its success with something more
nearly resembling a world fair than
anything elsesto which it can be COM

nation at least is behind the move

than the greatest nation is behind it

Jefferson City Letter.
BY MEANS RAY.


The extra session of the legislature
called by Governor Gardner for the
purpose of ratifying the Susan B. An
thony amendment to the Federal con
stitution extending suffrage to women
adopted the amendment without de-
lay.
There were a total of only seven
votes in both the Senate and House
against the resolution.
Predictions that some might oppose
the resolution we're without the least
foundation for no sooner was the
question brought up in either branch
than was it adopted. The House re-
CURED 10 minutes and the Senate
four.
One of the great surprises of the
extra session was the continued fight
against the League of Nations headed
by Speaker Sam F. O'Fallon, of Holt
County, and Representative Hackett,
OF Pettis county, both Republicans.
Their opposition came at a dinner
given by the suff rage leaders and de-
veloped when a movement was start
ed to send a message endorsing the
plan of a League of Nations to Presi-
dent Wilson and asking that he speak
in Missouri on his return to this coun-
try.
During the regular session of the
Legislature the Republicans spent
much time fighting the League of Ma
tons.
Democratic leaders here state thai
for the Republicans to try and longer
claim that the League of Nations i:
not a party issue, when they are op'
posing it as a party, is useless and the
belief is stated that the next cam
paign will be made on such an issue.
The Democrats insist that Repub'
licsns should offer some plan of worlc
peace, if they can't get behind the
League covenant, Or stop fighting
what is offered.
