If any person shall keen open any store, shop, grocery, ball-alley, billiard room, tippling liouse or any place of amusement, or shall do any secular business or labor, other than works of necessity or mercy, -on the first day of the week, commonly called Sundaj', or the Lord's day, such person, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished b' fine not less than live, nor more than fifty dollars. The fol lowing are deemed works of necessity: 1. The buying and selling of meats, fish and milk at retail, before nine o'clock in the morning. 2. The buying and selling drugs and medicine at retail or upon prescrip tion. 3. The selling of food, to be eaten .on the premises where sold; and L The keeping opea of barber shops and laboring at such trade until ten .o'clock in the morning. A Voi:i to iXnws Ri:.i)i:ns.
