Robert FRENCH v. STATE.
    No. 19726.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    Dec. 7, 1938.
    Kennedy & Granberry, of Crockett, for appellant.
    Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.
   HAWKINS, Judge.

Conviction is for possessing for the purpose of sale intoxicating liquor in Cherokee County, Texas, it being averred that said county was dry territory; punishment assessed was a fine of $150 and thirty days in jail.

The same question is presented here as in the case of Sam Watson v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 122 S.W.2d 311 this day decided, with reference to the certificate of the county judge as to publication of the order declaring the result of the local option election in Cherokee County.

The same reasons which impelled a reversal in Watson’s Case demand the .same order here.

The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
