Sunday Afternoon in the Girls Col
lege.

Last Sunday afternoon, / attended
Spnday-SchooI in the Chapel of the
Industrial Institute and College That
picturesque Chapel, with its sloping
roof. its quaint panels and its lovely
windows. A place that seems specially
suited for meditative spiritual commu
MON with better things. The girls were
in tbeir places when | entered. The
BRIGHTEST .aces, the happiest looking
Girls to be found in the State. DIR.
Jones. Mr. Sellers, the popular teacher of
If Starkville. and the choir were on the
nlotform. The services were opened
with singing; just imagine, if you will,
q whole troop of mocking birds In full
time and voice, as You have heard them
many spring morning, and you will
know something Of the delicious fresh
ness of these hymns as sung by the girls
of the l. I. and G. Reading of the lesson,
responsively, next followed, then prayer
from MIR. sellers. Afterwards the classes
belonging to the different denominations
went to their recitation rooms. Each
class Is taught by ladies of like faith and
doctrine. This is certainly wise ar
raugement, proving highly satisfactory
to all. After an uOuE spent III I6ClId-
ton. the girls aud teachers returned to
the lecture room, or Chapel. Here fol
lows, every Sunday afternoon, talk
from DIR Jones which is well worth
going to the College to hear. A talk
brimmiug with 5iblical jewels of thought,
full of fatherly counsels; the girls listen
always attentively, and seem to highly
appreciate this great privilege.
These "talks" Of the kind President
will be the maxims that will influence
these girls through life. Long after they
leave this College, thoughts imbibed
here will shine as stars to illume their
daily duties. The Sabbath-School closed
with singing and prayer. We doubt if
the State possesses a finer school of bibii-
cal instruction. 1t certainly must be a
great comfort to these christian parents
who are most anxious concerning the
moral training of their daughters.

Conflict hf testimony. When rerdief acia

ARNOLD, J.:
The bank sued the appellee for s5O7.74,
alleged to be due on account. The
defendant pleaded payment There is
no complaint as to the instructions. At
o clock p. m, on Saturday, the Jury
retired. About an hour afterwards, the
paliin announced co the court that they
mad not agreed upon a verdict. where
upon the court informed them. through
the bailiff, that If they did not agree bv
p. m, at which hour the court would
| adlourn, they would have to remain in
the Jury room until Monday. About
$50 p. m, the jury returned a verdict
for the defendant.
The issue joined between the parties
was fairly submitted to the Jury. It
cannot be said that the verdict j. mani
festly wrong. The conflict in the testi
mony was about a. positive as it well
could be, and which side should have
the verdict depended on the credibility
10 be ascribed to the witnesses This
was matter exclusively for the deter
mination of the jury We adhere to
the rule several times announced by
this court, that where there is such
conflict in the testimony that the mind
cannot repose with entire confidence
ana certainty upon a conclusion in
favor OF either party, the verdict of the
jury will not be disturbed here, if no
error of law has intcrvened. Vdts0R q.

The communication had with the
jury, after they retired to consider of
their verdict, was an irregularity, not to
be encouraged. According to same au
thorities, it would vitiate the verdict;
but we are unable to see how appellant
was preiudced by the occurrence. If it
had any effect at all upon the jury, 1t
must have operated as much IN favor
of appellant as for the appellee. Pope

jury deliberated about an hour and
half after the communication was made
to them, and that they agreed and
returned their verdict into court several
hours before the time at which 1t was

Larceny. deportation. Instruction ab-

to commit offence covered by indictment
charging commission
CAMPBELL, J.:
Appellant was convicted Of the
larceny of a hog. 1t appears that the
body of the hog just killed, was found
near the premises of the owner, who
then hid himself close by. About dark,
appellant approached with a basket,
and, being confronted by the owner,
acknowledged that he had killed the
hog. At the trial the court instructed
the Jury that "a turning over, if every
part was moved from the place, is a
sufficient carrying away to constitute
larceny"
Were every fact in evidence embodied
in a special verdict, the sentence of the
| law would be that the accused is not
guilty of larceny, because there was not
a carrying away" of the hog; and
while :he definition by the court of
asportation is abstractly correct, it was
not applicable to the facts in evidence
on which the court should have in
structed the jury not to find the defen.
dant guilty of larceny, but to consider
and find whether he was guilty of an

LITERARY NOTES.

In connection with the approaching
Inauguration of President Cleveland,
two papers promised for the March
Harper's will have especial interest.
One of the treasures of the library of
Mr.. I'ilden is good,sized book,
bound in calf, filled up in the hand
writing of Thomas Jefferson. 1t is
the financial diary of the great man,
kept by him from January l. 1871,
while he was Secretary of State, up to
1903, covering thus the first two years
of his Presidency. Among its entries
is careful summary of all his ex.
penses from March l, 1901, to March
l, 1902, showing an expenditure of
S32, 1924. So, the various elements of
which are given in detail. Jefferson
had as great ii dislike of presents as
Mr.. Cleveland, and even insisted up
on paying the duty on certain wine
procured from the Spanish minister,
who had imported it duty free for his
own use. He also paid sixteen cents
pound for monster cheese, evident
ly sent tt. him as present. The in.
teresting paper drawn from the mate.
rial of this diary is from the pen Of
Hon. John Bigelow. The other pa.
per referred to is one on "Manifes
Destiny" by Prof. John Fiske.

Habitual constipation is not only
one of the most unpleasant, but at the
same time, one of the most injurious
conditions of the human system, and
is but forerunner of disease, unless
removed. This is usually accom-
plished by the use of purgatives,
which for the time afford relief, but
after their immediate effects have
passed they leave the system in a
worse state than before. TO effect a
cure it is necessary that the remedy
used should be one that not only by
its cathartic effect relieves the bowels,
but at the same time acts as tonic,
so as to restore the organs to a sound
healthy condition. The Prickly Ash
Bitters will do. it removes the cause
and restores health. jan31>4

living near here, had an eating can.

his nose, part of his cheek, and ex.

food. After using all the remedies
without checking the ravages of the

cancer. | put him on Swift's Specific
