ANN HANDY,

ASS HANDY,
TIE srArr
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Copiah
county. Hon. T. J. Wharton, Judge.
ARNOLD J., delivered the opinion of
the court.
Ann Handy was indicted for keeping
| bawdy house. The indictment set out
that the offense was committed in Copiah
county, without any further specifica-
i ton as to the place where the house was
kept. The defendant moved to quash
the indictment because it failed to show
that tie house, which the defendant was
charged with keeping, was situated IN
any public place, as IN a city, town or
village, or that it was near any public
street or highway, or that any person
resided near thereto or was in the habit
of passing thereby. The court below
oyerruled the motion. The defendant
was put upon trial aud the only evil
dence offered by the State, was as TO the
character and general reputation OF the
! house kept by the defendant. The jury
found verdict of guilty and the de
. PENDANT appealed. Held, that it was moi
necessary TO ailege in the indictment
that the house was kept in public
| place, city, town or village, or on, oil
near any public street or highway. oil
: that any person resided near thereto, Of
: was in the habit Of passing thereby. /
T was sufficient to charge that the hous'
a was kept in the county in which the in
! dictment was found.
T The evidence in regard to the genera
reputation Of the house WAS incompe
: tent. There are some authorities which
hold that evidence as to the genera
reputation of the house, in such case,
: admissible, but this doctrine is not gen
= orally accepted, and this court prefer
! to follow the authorities which reject il
Wooster IS. State, 50 la, 217. In thi

estimates made lately by the writer and
Messrs. Palm and Davis, builders, tor

innuendo at foot of your notice OF the

as think YOU have based your opinion
on his erroneous statement as TO the as
crepancy between our estimates, IN the
aggregate do now respectfully ask 20 ?
to look at the Special Committee Report,
page ten, and see for yourself. You VIII
see thus, there is only $500 difference
in our estimates in the total, and not
running up into the thousands, as you
say in your notice. The seeming differ
ence in our estimates is very easily &C
counted for The Messrs. Palm ana
Davis took in all the work under con-
tract, though not begun, and also some
work that was commenced and some
that was finished after / made my estl

almost nothing is a fine rag carpet.
These carpets are of the best manufacture
and IN order to close them out we are
now selling them all at the low price of
Doc. per yard. Having now completed
our new carpet room we have put in

THERE are two classes of offenses,
pardonable enough if one views them
without being influenced by the preju-
dice which has singled them out as par
ticularlv heinous crimes, and
distilling illicit whiskey. These are
nothing more than attempts to escape
taxation, an offense of which every man
inthe United States is guilty. Kaufman,

ufacturing a little crooked whiskey. is
very poor, has raised a large family and
lives Oh farm not productive enough to
raise ''white beans" He is 70 years of
age and helped matters along little bv
making whiskey. The United States
swoops down on him and the "moon
sinner" who probably did his work in the
cellar of his dwelling house, must go to
PRISON for violating the revenue laws.
The coming month every man who owns
property in this county will be guilty of
the same ofense for which poor old
man is in prison.

AMONG the goods which have been
received at Torrison's store, the new

latest styles are combined with low prices,
there it will be to everyone's advantage
to trade. An inspection of our clothing
department will convince you that moth
but the latest styles are to be found there,
and on inquiry as to prices will give you
to understand that they are the lowest.

ready made for one half the price? We
guarantee anyone, old or young, per-
feet fit in any style he may choose, and
we have this spring made it point to
select clothing made up in the finest

he was sandbagged by some enterprising
