GONE INTERESTING DECISIONS AY UNITED
STATES SUPREME U As TO Il
LIABILITY OF eUBsCRIBER5.

/. IF subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue to send same until
all arrearages are paid.
2. If subscribers refuse to take
their periodicals from the postofhce to
which they are addressed, they are re-
sponsible until they have settled their
bills and ordered the paper Tor other
periodically discontinued.
8 If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publisher,
and the papers are sent to the former
address, subscribers are responsible.
4 The Court has decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
postefice, or removing and having
them uncalled for, is prima facie evil
dence of intentional fraud.
5. If subscribers pay in advance,
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time if they do not wish to
continue the periodical; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to continue
sending it and the subscriber is respon-
sible until an cypress notice, with pay
ment of all arrearages, is sent to the
publisher.
6 The latest postal laws are such
that a newspaper man can arrest any
one for fraud that takes his paper and
refuses to pay for it.. Under the law,
the man who allows his subscription to
run along for some time unpaid and
then orders it discontinued, or orders
the postmaster to mark it refused and
has a postal card sent notifying the
publisher of such fact, renders himself
liable to prosecution, arrest and fine,
the same as for theft.

Miss Mary Payne Bryan, who
has been attending the Central
School in Meridian, came home
last Monday to spend a few days
with home folks. Miss Bryan's
reports show that she was exempt
from the examination which took
place at that time, and show her
perfect in everything. We have
cause to rejoice with this young
lady at her success-tor it was
deserved. We wish her all the
success in the future that she has
had in the past; and we r sure
OF her success.
