MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR.
To the House of Representatives:
GENRLEMEN-l hereby return without my
approval III. b. Nc. 600, an Act TO authorize
the Board of Supervisors of Montgomery
county to levy a tax on the town of Vino
ma, to build a courthouse and jail. The
citizens of Winona, by petition, object to
being taxed for the purpose named in this
bill, and the members of the Legislature
who have procured its passage have re-
quested that it should be vetoed.
Il. G.. Powers, Governor.

To the House of Representatives:
GENTLEMEN-I herewith return without
my approval the following bills:
III. Il. No go, an Act to prevent the sale
of vinous and spirituouS liquors in the city
of No-idian.
This bill fails to accomplish the object for
which 1t was intended. 1t would have the
effect of removing the sale of spirituous IL
quorS outside of the corporate limits and
the citizens of Meridian have requested that
it should be vetoed.
FL. B. No. Isl. an Act to amend the Re-
vised Code of 1871, entitled an Act in rela-
ton to the Asylum for the Blind.
The effects of this Act would be to con-
vert the institution, which is intended sim
ply for educational purposes. into an mfr
" where Dlluu pdltGnLS WOulu De SUD
ject to treatment. While it would be a very
legitimate charity to provide for both the
education and treatment OF the unfortunate
blind OF the State, it would not be good
policy to combine both in the same iustitu-
ton. l would have no objection to APPROX
ing a measure which should have for its OBJ
ject the treatment of the blind in an insti-
tuition entirely distinct from the one at pre-
sent used for educational purposes.
II. B. No. 355 an Act TO remove the civil
IL. l.. l.4s -. 4

of Harrison county, and for
other purposes. | return this bill without
my approval on information of the Auditor

tor does not stand charged with the amount
set forth in the bill.
II. Il. No. 49S, an Act to remove the civil
disabilities OF William ID. Sheppard, of
Chickasaw county. The objection urged
against II. b. No. 300 apply equally to this
bill.
HB. No. 7O1. an Act for the relief of
Mary E. Hall, minor of the county of Clai-
borne, in this State. The object sought to
be accomplished by this Act should be re-
ferred to the Courts, where all the circum-
stances of the case can be Investigated and
a minor can be protected.
II. B. No. 273. an Act to authorize the
Board of Supervisors of Choctaw county,

and to provide for the payment of said as
sessment. The time has expired when the
object sought to be accomplished by this
Act can be reached.

Meridian Cotton Mills. Section OF this
Act grants banking privileges, which are
inconsistent with the objects of the charter.
4 IL
Mount Airy Farmers Mercantile Associa-
ton. Section of this Act contains Ohjec-
tionable banking privileges. in that it does
not provide for protection of estates.
