until the 10th day Of October last, which was
not six months previous TO the election.

that a councilman shall reside two years in
the county OfShelby, One year in the city Of

Nothing but an ocsHat residence could lave

eomplished. Mr.. Pinn had no actual residence
in the Seventh Ward, as we have stated, unit
he 18TH day Of October last. His intention
that his resad6ncs should be IN that Ward was
not enough 70 make him q BONA ode resident.
