A. j. Davis Convicted.

At jackson last week tho jury in the
case of tho State vs.. A. j. Davis and
Jake Baxter, indicted on several counts
for unlawfully retailing liquor, returned
a verdict conyicting Davis on the first
count in the Indictment, which was for
unlawful retailing, and disagreed as to
Baxter. 1t was currently reported prior
to the verdict, that the jury had been
unable to agree and could not reach a
verdict. The case was once before tried
and resulted in disagreement. The
penalty for unlawful retailing is fixed
by section 1892 OF the code of 1892, the
same being in the dram shop chapter,
1t provides that a person convicted
''shall be fined not less than S25 nor
more than $500, or be imprisoned in the
county Jail not less than ono week nor
more than three months or both"

A big sensation was created in the cir
cult court at Jackson last week when
Judge S. S. Calhoon charged that one Of
the jures for the week had been stocked
with Prohibitionists by the sheriff. lilo
said he did not charge that this was
done with any purpose to convict on the
part OF tho sheriff, but that, following
the natural bent of his mind, the
sheriff, being Prohbitionist, had per
mitted his prejudices to contro,. Nine
of the original panel were excused and
their places supplied with nine other
jurors summoned by the sheriff person
ally. Judge Calhoon charged that every
member Of the jury as it stood consisted
of ultra Prohibitionists and that as bis
clients were to be tried before it on a
charge of unlawful retailing, he made a
motion that the jury be discharged and
another one drawn to take its place.

WASHING A FINE ART.

Washing pretty summer gowns anu
belongings is fine art, very easy To
learn. A bright day, plenty OF water
and little pure soap are the necessary
aids in the work. TO do it, fill tub
two-thirds full of warm water, dissolve
n cake of Ivory soap (Which will not
fade the most delicate colors), add 1t
10 the water, wash the garments care
fully through it; rinse first in clear wa
Ter. then in bluewater; wiring, dip in
Thin starch; hang on the line In the
shade. When dry sprinkle and iron on
the wrong side, Gowns thus laun-
dered will look fresh for the entire
summer.

In the general settlement of the

Now as to my own individually self,
