a tenant shall not be bound to pay rent fer

otherwise, without negligence or fault on his /
part, unless he has expressly stipulated to be I
so bound l24O-
The provisions of these two sections are
manifestly just and reasonable. They abolish (
the existing harsh rule which had its origin /
in the feudaI system in England, under which .
the tenant is bound to rebuild if he stipulates
to return the premises in good order although .
the same might be destroyed by fire or the act
of God. In like manner the tenant would in /
such case be compelled to pay rent for his full .
term, and he would not he relieved from re-
building or payment Of rent, without an ex-
press covenant to that effect. 1t is only sur
prisng that this rula has not heretofore been
changed BY the legislation of the State.

CHAPTER 45-EXEnrPT PROPERTY.
All the sections in Chapter A, Code 1871, ex-
cept 2l45-6, are retained
Section 2l3l amended so as to exempt two
work horses or mules and one hundred and
fifty bushels of Germ. To this section then
add three hundred bundles Of fodder, one
sewing machine, and the wages Of every
laborer or mechanic to the amount Of one hun
bred dollars, shall be exempt from garnis-
ment or other legal process; and all colts
under three years old, raised in this State by
the debtor. 1914.
To 2ll0 Code 1871, aid ''or the articles
specified in the first section Of this Act Z I249
Section 2l42, Code 1871, amended so as to {
read as follows!
mo property shall be exempt from execu- !
ton, when the purchase money thereof forms
in whole or in part the debt which the q
Judgment Is founded; nor shall any property !
be exempt from sale for non-payment Of taxes +
or assessments, or for any labor done thereon, =
or materials furnished therefor or when the y
Judgment is for labor performed, or upon "A f
forfeited recognizance or bail bond, or when
the process IS for rent 1850. i
This is a sweeping amendment and viii to i
a great extent limit the benefits of the exemp- e
ton law, so far the debtor is concerned. !
IN mortgage, deed of trust or other encum- +
brance upon the homestead exempted from ex
ecution, shall be valid or binding unless signed j
by the wife of the owner. if he Is married v
and living with his wife. lbs. Ia
when the wife owns the homestead and oc- q
cupies the same with her family, said home I
stead shall be exempt from seizure or sale I'm n
der execution or attachment on her contracts n
or liabilities in the same manner and to the II
same extent as such real property is exempt Y
to any other householder having family az !
otherwise provided in this chapter 1853
mo CONVEYANCE of the homestead interest +
where this interest IS the separate property Of t
he wife shall be valid binding unless 4
signed and Acknowledged by he husband liv- Z
ing with his wife, as also By her as the owner b
1860 i
The amount of any life insurance policy.
one lie shall enure to the party parties +
named as the benefciaries thereof, freed Q
from all liability for the debts of the person u
paying the premiums thereon" 12Gl. l
This wise provision will no doubt encourage
life insurance and prevent many families from q
being left destitute upon the death Of the
head. c
