1Opinion of the CourtJones, J.
The Mississippi State Highway Commission instituted eminent domain proceedings to secure right-of-way for an interstate highway. The original jury returned a verdict for $15,000; on appeal the circuit court jury found $24,000 as damages, from which judgment the Commission appeals to this Court.
The property was located about a mile, more or less, east of Lumberton, and contained approximately 96 acres. Mr. Ladner was employed as a mail carrier, and made his home on the land. The property did not front on a highway, being some short distance off Highway No. 13, and entered by a gravel driveway.
