State Treasurer Lacy says
the most difficult thing for
him to impress on county Of

have a privilege license to sell
horses, pianos. etc., can not
60 in any other part of the
State without carrying such
license with them, and make
sales. He says the law is i'm

rusrd of cutting its throat.
About three O'Clock p. IN. she
went to the closet and remained
an hour or 50. She dragged her
self back to the house aud threw
herself upon the bed. About five
O'Clock she arose to prepare sup

out and placed in water. They
Iloated, and it was proved concIu-
sively the child had breathed aud
