ANTI-CIGARETTE Law
PASSED.
LAW

Hartford, Conn.,, Sept. 2l.-"A
new anti cigarette law passed by
the Connecticut legislature prov
ides that any person under 16
years of age when he uses tobac-
co in any form in any public
street, place or resort shall be
fined 81 for each offense. Any
dealer selling tobacco to a person
under 16 years old is liable to a
fine of $25 for the first offense
and 800 for each subsequent
offense."
Perhaps that with better en-
forcement of the law there may
be some virtue in the law. Ii
the laws are not enforced II
would be better for no law to
have been enacted.

We understand that Mr.. E.
Russell OF Sessums sold his land,
200 acres, to Messrs. Frye &
Frye for $40 per acre. About
two years ago he purchased it at
800 per acre, therefore doubled
his money. The purchaser
never paid more for the land
than it is worth but it shows
how real state has increased IN
value. Lands recently have sold
for more money than the above
so it further shows that lands
have increased in value every
where IN Mississippi. There is
no investment so good as lands
under any circumstances.
